M4:D53 (D353) Peaceful return

What's on my mind today?
Technology can be so frustrating. Yes, I know, I am a Director of Technology so why am I complaining about tech? Let me explain.

I do pictures and blog posts daily. I use Windows Live Writer to write my posts. I store all my posts and my pictures on my NAS (network storage) device. A NAS is basically a hard drive that has an operating system that helps control the access to the files. Well, last week my NAS crashed. Thankfully I back up constantly, so I was not worried about my content.

I got a new hard drive and installed it. As I was working on my pictures and getting them in the side by side format that is used above, the NAS just froze. As I diagnosed the problem I discovered that the new hard drive I had installed had failed. Again, thank God for backups because I still had all my data stored away.

I replaced the NAS hard drive yet again and got everything up and running. However, that would not be the end of my problems. Like the old man I've become lately, I changed the password on my laptop, but completely forgot what that password was. This is a big problem because my laptop connects to a domain, so the password is cached on the drive. Well, after much research on another machine, I was able to come up with a trick that helped me cache the correct password to my laptop.

Once logged back into my laptop I took the time to complete all my photos and catch up on all my posts.

So here I am again. I am alive and well. Thanks to Mike Groom: Aussie Bodybuilder for checking up on me a few times. I've had a very good week as you no doubt can tell from my posts. I am still learning to deal with my 16 year old daughter's first boyfriend. It is definitely an experience for all involved. However, he is a very nice kid and I definitely approve of him so far.

Today was a rest day, but it wasn't extremely restful. I had to assist the hockey team on the bench again. That's a stressful job, but fun at the same time.
