Back in the saddle

Back at work this morning. Chicago was great, it was a wonderful anniversary weekend for us. Thanks to all who wished us a happy anniversary, we enjoyed exploring Chicago together and we enjoyed getting to spend some time with an old High-School friend of Angela’s while we were in town as well. (Hi Amy!) Pictures will be coming, we arrived home after 11PM last night, and didn’t even unpack before heading to bed, so it may take us a day or two to get caught up with day-to-day life again!

Don’t have much time to write anything else, I believe that laptop that we sent out for repairs last week was just delivered back to us downstairs. Got to go see if it’s working or not! More later…

Later: Yes it does work, although they claim that after doing some “initial maintenance procedures” the laptop passed all diagnostics and was working fine again. I wonder what those “intial” procedures were? Probably just opening it up and cleaning it, maybe updating the BIOS?

    Well it’s been almost 4 days now, without a word from That Hosting Company, Inc. Yesterday I decided that enough was enough and took matters into my own hands. The first step was getting control of the domain name. Since the domain registration was part of signing up with THC, they were listed as the…

    By the way, like I said before, I wasn’t going to say anything about the controversy about Autolink until I had actually seen it working myself. I have now, and while I’m not in love with it, I just can’t seem to get all that worked up about it. Here’s why: – It only changes…

    Good grief. So many things needed tweaked or replaced or just fixed this week that I only really had time to put out fires up until today. Today, in between doing month-end database chores I’m trying to go back and document everything that happened earlier in the week in the helpdesk tracking DB, purchase some…
