It feels good to be challenged
Over the weekend I had one of those days where everything was system critical.
It all started with me wanting to enjoy my day by watching an entire days worth of football.
Everything was smooth sailing until I got to 12:50PM and my boss called me stating that one of the monitors is out and the other has a folder with a “?” on it.
When I heard those words I jumped up immediately because he was having an OS problem with a machine that would be in use in less than a few hours.
It took me about twenty minutes to make it into the office (he needed the machine by 2:30), in the rain, in Atlanta traffic.
When I got there it took me around ten minutes to determine that the problem was the hard drive so I automatically assumed that we had lost everything on that drive.
Luckily we had a TimeMachine backup that was sitting on a Buffalo hard drive, where as the one that crapped out on me was the Western Digital (who I normally go with).
After about an hour of reinstalling the OS & restoring the original informaiton I was able to get the system back to 98% original status.
There are a few minor things that I haven’t figured out, such as why the Mighty Mouse trackpad option is missing under system preferences (hopefully one of the os updates resolved this).
Just when I thought that things were all good, something was thrown in to keep me on my toes.
Gotta stay focused on the objective in order to make the next step.
