Dead blog? History???

In the words of Monty Python, "it's not dead yet"

not just yet...

I'm still working with Texas Radio Theatre - doing some minimal broadcasting and doing lots of sound design in the Dallas theatre circles.

My Mom, after breaking her neck is doing lots better - she's healed up surprisingly fast and is back to work in a limited way.

My previous hiccups with the computer were just a pre-cursor to a horrific series of events that crippled two of my systems, and resulted in some data-loss.

It was a one, two three punch and I lost an entire hard drive in the process. I try to have all my stuff backed up and redundant between three systems (two desktops and one notebook)... but when one goes down and then another... Instead of repairing and keeping the back up chain going, I just shifted all my activity to the next best computer.

So, literally the day after I counted my blessings - BOOM! wirr wiir wirr CLICK.

brother!

Getting all the hardware and surviving data restored and in time to meet other deadlines took all my time and effort...

Four months later, I'm just to a point when I can take a breath.

WEEEEEEEE!

So how's everyone?

Rich,

Glad to have you back. Yes, despite the inactivity, some of us have been checking in from time to time to see what's up.

Just keep repeating: computers will make our lives easier. Computers will make our lives easier.

Having recently upgraded to XP, I invite you to join me in my spiritual quest. It involves capturing Bill Gates, tying him down on a mound of fire ants, and pouring honey all over him.

It may not help you recover your lost data, but it sure as hell would make a lot of people happy.

I am also very happy to hear that your Mom is doing better.

Glad to have you back.

All is well back here in Danbury. It's good to have you back on the net, and with family doing better. I was just thinking that I MUST get to editing the WXCI alumni day files so you an post them. I guess I'll have to do that real soon.

Well again good to hear from you and it won't be long till the news flows.
