WOW! two updates in one month? Well, I’m sure there will be one more this month 🙂  .. Couple updates.

#1. I’m an idiot. Forgot to mentionShannon’s new toy.  2000 Chevrolet Blazer. Black, 2 doors, 4×4, sun roof… its perfect 🙂
 

#2. Thanks to Dan for picking up my parts 🙂   DJM CalMax 2/4 drop kit with 4 drop shocks to make it corner like a slot car. Truck goes in Friday for the big drop. Check back this weekend for some before and after shots.. Gonna look and ride like a dream. FINALLY getting the truck where I want it. Hell, I’m running outta stuff to do

#3 Congrats on the M1 X. Cant wait to see another yellow ride in  your driveway.

Learned a couple things this week. For example. When shutting down a server which hasn’t been powered down in likely 1.5  years, MAKE SURE there is a backup ;-. Yep, you guessed it. I shut a computer down to do some upgrades on it. Powered it back on (before even doing anything to it), and got a not so happy OS NOT FOUND error. Not a big deal you may think (as I did). NT is a relatively east install right? Well it is. However, when the drive is partitioned into 4 partitions, one which has ALL the home directories for all the staff (including hundreds of admin documents), none of which were being backed up as one would have suspected them to be, things aren’t so easy. Tomorrow morning I am going to try a transplant of the electronics from a twin drive. Cross your fingers. If this doesn’t do it, its going to the Data Recovery Lab. And if that don’t do it, I really don’t want to be the person who breaks it to the secretary that 5+ years of data went bye bye.

Despite the lack of back up procedures in works at the schools, /me is going to implement my own. Even if no one else does it, I’m covering my own ass. I don’t want this happening again. Even if its not my fault
