Every time we get a new computer and have to move all our stuff over to it, or I lose my bookmarks and the husband has to restore them, I end up with bookmarks from like five years ago instead of the most recent ones. But, strangely enough, this time I don’t care. I always keep too many bookmarks anyway and this time I can’t think of anything I’ve lost that I’m all broken up about. So I’m just going to delete all these and start over. It’ll feel good. But I can’t help wondering why this happens. Stuff that I deleted years ago and assumed was long gone is back again somehow and yet, if there was something I really needed that disappeared it would probably be gone forever. Computers are weird.
UPDATE: Uh oh. I remembered some stuff I had bookmarked that I really do need. Crap! Oh well. Maybe I’ll get them back five years from now when we get our next new computer.

What I do is periodically export the bookmarks to an html file (I use Firefox). Then I upload the html file to my website. It’s clumsy but it works.
