Bits and Bytes
So my computer broke again this week. I just got it back up and running.
I don’t mind that it broke. Things break but what bugs me a little is that I have absolutely no idea why it just stopped working.
It may have been an update, a bad shutdown sequence, or a failing harddrive, I’m not sure.
Well fortunately CompUSA went out of business and I was able to purchase this software called Acronis 11 Home Edition. I put in the backup disk, booted to it and restored to a previous state. Unplugged all the harddrives but the C: drive and the program drive and was back up. This of course after a day of troubleshooting.
I spent the last couple days after work upgrading all the software and other minor windows tweaks that I realized I wanted after the first time I set my system up so in a way I suppose it works out.
I was going to play board games tonight but went and took a nap and woke up three hours later, two hours after board games started, so didn’t make it. Really just needed to get some sleep.
Big weekend ahead. Neighbors coming over to help clear some land on Sunday. Co-Worker coming over to pick up cut up and haul away straight pine longs for a raised garden project at the school that same day, and Second Saturday readings by students for most of the day on Saturday.
On an economic, daily commute message I’ve started carpooling with a co-worker. We switch of days for the week. This will help both of us save on gas. The only down side is that I have to get up at 6 am each morning to be at work at 7:30 am. But that means I get to leave at 3pm rather than 4pm. Saving the gas is good.
Well gotta run. Numbers is on.
