Mean Time Between Failure
Well it has happened again.  Hard drives die.  This time I am getting I/O errors connecting to the drive, so the physical platters may be just fine.  This is the replacement drive that I got in November 2008. So the replacement drive lasted about 15 months.  The original drive lasted 11 months.  [...]

Today, February 22, 2007, would have been my parents’ 49th wedding anniversary.
I just wanted to say I still remember.

We have suffered through the torturous audition rounds…
We have endured the drama of Hollywood week…
The final 24 have made their Idol debuts…
And, in an unprecedented move, I will now predict the final 12:
Guys:
A.J.  (I don’t particularly like him, but I think he will appeal to the women, who will vote early, and often, for him)

When I was a kid, I had a terrible time.  First off, I got tonsillitis, followed by appendicitis and pneumonia.  After that, I got rheumatism, and to top it off, they gave me hypodermics and inoculations!

Oh, goodness, what a day.  And here I thought that since I wasn’t doing children’s church I would actually get a Sunday morning off.  Silly me.  Today is Upward evaluations, and since I was out of the office this Friday, that meant that the items that needed to be collected ahead of time didn’t.  So, [...]

I figure all this posting is just a conspiracy to see how much traffic the internet has and then to start taxing it. I guess I have seen one too many politcal adds this election season. This weekend is going to be fun, but increadibly busy. I finished installing software on Debbi’s new laptop last [...]

I have little to say type at this time.  This is just post for NaBloPoMo (GoGoGo).  I hope that I will actually have something inciteful later on.  We now return you to your regularly scheduled life.
