Construction Data Is Growing Rapidly | The Wave of Digitalization

2019/02/15

Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

My computer is running out of storage space!

And that's what my computer says, lol

HDD

Since I built my own PC, it's easy to swap out the hard drive, and the one currently installed is 1T (1 terabyte).

Since I'm all out of that, I'm thinking about buying another 4T.

Since it syncs with Dropbox, I don't have to worry if I lose any data, but there's just so much of it, lol.

The boot drive is an SSD, but I'll leave it as is here.

 

There are a lot of old photos, aren't there?

I'm thinking of getting things organized a bit, but isn't it a bit ridiculous to be burning CDs and DVDs at this point? lol

But even as I think to myself, “Man, this is really taking up a lot of space on my hard drive…”

So, a hard drive, huh?

 

I have 3T of Dropbox storage, so I should be fine for a while.

I replaced it with a 1TB hard drive three years ago, but since our employee photo data has been growing,

At this rate, 1T might not even last two years...

 

After submitting the file electronically, it’s better to burn it to a DVD as a backup...

That's a tough one, isn't it?

There also seems to be the problem that if you burn it to a DVD, you won't be able to watch it right away when you want to.

 

I wish there were a good way to do this.

I'll think about it for a bit.

 

See you later.

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. A while back, a young site supervisor from another company asked me, “Do you pay attention to the soil conditions when drilling holes for ground anchors?” (Well, you better pay a lot of attention to them, lol.) If you underestimate the soil conditions when preparing a cost estimate, you’ll be the one crying about it later. But anyway…

This happened a while back, but I was on-site at a construction project overseeing an assembly inspection when the person in charge pointed out, “Oh, this is a T-joint,” and the whole site went dead silent lol. Since T-joints are generally prohibited under the Japan Society of Civil Engineers’ Standard Specifications for Concrete, it’s only natural that when one is found…
