Another early morning. Up and at it at 2:00 AM again today. Got a little bit more work done for the new “project”, home network maintenance is done of course. More “Cat herding”… etc… etc… Going to take the “Old man midlife crisis bike” to work again but need to fill it up on the way. Also found out last night that our friends Laren and Tina are planning on c... Read more...

Ha ha ha! Our fur-babies ‘Morning Routine’: “Uh oh! Daddy’s up!.. go to computer room with daddy… go to kitchen with daddy (daddy herds cats out of kitchen)… got to computer room, around behind desk at least three times…  follow daddy to kitchen (daddy herds cats out of kitchen)… got to computer room. Ok… daddy’s BOR... Read more...

Other than the chapter meeting and ride, was really a rough (and SHORT) weekend. Spent most of the day yesterday working remotely at the office trying to catch up on “Patch Tuesday”. With that many servers, that’s no small task either. Oh well… at least it’s done now and everything is up to date again. Surely not looking forward to this week though. Not at all. Feeli... Read more...

Had a really nice time yesterday with the chapter. Got my mind off everything that’s been going on lately. But this morning I’ve been working on even more updates both on the home network and the corporate network. No rest for the wicked I guess.... Read more...

Woke up REAL early today but no idea why. Getting some updates installed to the local machines and trying to finish up this machine for my brother Jeff to use. Sure hope the weather holds out for today’s chapter meeting and ride. Need a little time away from all this stuff I’ve been working and just get out of town for a while.... Read more...

Friday at last. Been a really long week but it’s not over yet. Still have a crap load of work to do over the weekend in order to get everything taken care of. Just can’t seem to get on top of it all right now.... Read more...

Wow! Some spooky stuff going on at the office. Bunch of notifications from the network being offline then online then offline… looks like we had a problem with the fiber connection during the night. Will have to investigate when I get in. Thought I was going to be seeing a “cold cockpit” in there this morning. Sphincter Factor Level 10!... Read more...

Wow! What a BUSY DAY it was yesterday! Feel like I got run over by a steam-roller! So far today is shaping up to be about the same. Makes the day go by REAL FAST though… but right now I’d rather they not do that. LOL ... Read more...

Another day… off to a good start. Got the morning server routines completed at home and at the office. Yanked WinAmp from the cell phone and all 6GB of music since I never use it anyway. Got some paper work submitted to the county clerk’s office yesterday. All ready to rock-n-roll today.... Read more...

Had a really nice and PRODUCTIVE day yesterday. A great visit with the family and a lot of good phone calls. Feeling even more excited about the potential future. Still just a tad nervous of course but things are really looking up right now. I’m sure hoping for a really GOOD week ahead.... Read more...

Had a pretty productive day yesterday. Got the replacement batteries for the cordless phones, got the food for our fur babies and got some new “runner” vinyl for the litter boxes, food and water dishes. Have the family coming over to work out some strategic planning for the future today. I sure hope it all goes well.... Read more...

Got a REALLY BUSY weekend ahead of me this time. Need to do some investigation into this new adventure I may be moving into. Research all of the potential ramifications, legal obligations and anything else I can think of. Have been getting a lot of guidance and advice from others and am meeting with my brothers this weekend to discuss it and do some preliminary calculations. It’s really EXCITING but really spooky at the same time. How’s THAT for a “cliff-hanger”... Read more...

Damn it… woke up REAL late this morning… but still didn’t SLEEP worth a damn…... Read more...

Thursday morning and the week is almost over. Didn’t sleep much last night at all. Looks like I may be doing something I have been thinking about doing for years now but have always been too afraid to just go for it. Something that others have been trying to tell me I should do for a long time. A new adventure so to speak. No details just yet though… it’s going to be a s... Read more...

Hmm… a rather interesting event on the Exchange Server this morning I need to look into but the WSUS / Print server seems to be humming along rather nicely. A few updates to the home network servers, morning maintenance routine done and everything else looks to be in order. A potentially a good day perhaps?... Read more...

Excellent! It looks like the ‘new’ print server is working perfectly. Nobody seemed to have any trouble at all (save one that didn’t read e-mail first). Now If I could just get the update server working again. Microsoft Internet Information Services is just a real pain in the ass. I would rather use Apache but WSUS doesn’t support it. GOT to get it working though becau... Read more...

Been BANGING on this fucking Microsoft IIS for WSUS all fucking day and nothing seems to work. Nothing seems to make it function the way it's supposed. None of Microsoft's recomendations.. NOTHING. What a fucking BLOATED piece of SHIT.... Read more...

Probably going to be a very long day today. Was certainly a very short weekend…... Read more...

Bummer… looks like it’s going to be a day at the office. Another server… appears to be dead in the water. Going to have to figure out where to move the services it provides so it’s not a disruption to anybody Monday morning. *SIGH* All of that equipment is getting really long in the tooth and it’s not going to last much longer.... Read more...

Oh man! Poor Mochi! I had gone out to get the first cup of coffee for the day, checked to make sure no kitties were in the kitchen and then closed the doors on the way out. Guess I didn’t look well enough because almost two HOURS later when I went back for another coffee, Mochi had been in the entire time and ended up having a little “accident” on the floor. POOR BABY!!!... Read more...
