I’ve lost count of all the computer issues I’ve had over the past three decades. They tend to pop up every two years or so, mostly due to the relentless assault of updates and upgrades. When computers break most people just lost all their data then went out and bought a new computer. The cloud…… Continue reading Computer Issues

I’ve been a computer nerd since 1993. These are my stories in dealing with computers through the years.
Journal Entry – 12.10.20
It is 11:55 AM on Thursday December 10th, 2020. For the first time in many days I have a few minutes to get a blog post in. Work has been busy: from 8 to about 2 I’ve been engrossed in my laptop only taking a break to refill coffee or pee. I look at the…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 12.10.20
Data Catastrophe Close Call
I almost had a data catastrophe last week which is worthy of its own post. It all comes down to not being able to remember a password and this is the second time this year I’ve almost had a catastrophe like this. The first time was when I woke up in the middle of the…… Continue reading Data Catastrophe Close Call
COVID-19 – Second Update
It is 6:52 on Sunday the 5th of April 2020. We are still in “shelter-in-place” and will be so at least until the beginning of May.

I imagine myself sitting on the couch reading a book with a fireplace on the TV and some Christmas music in the background. What I always forget is that they are always very busy…… Continue reading New Year’s Day 2020
Christmas Eve 2019
It is 5:59 AM on Christmas Eve. I woke up around 4, made the coffee, put away the dishes, fought with my computer and put the NORAD Santa Tracker on the T.V. I say fought with my computer because it is old and now the monitor sometimes does not get signal from the computer. I’ve…… Continue reading Christmas Eve 2019
Smart Home Networking
*Note. This post started out as a regular journal entry but then ended up a home networking post. The time is 6:09 AM on Saturday December 21st, 2019. I always wake up early, usually around 3:30, 4:00 AM. When I do the decision has to be made if I should actually get out of bed…… Continue reading Smart Home Networking
Google Home
I’ve always enjoyed technology and have often been a first adopter before new tech really goes mainstream. As I’ve gotten older my enthusiasm for always learning new things has waned a bit. I think this is because I have so much more technology in my life and technology is improving and changing at such a…… Continue reading Google Home
