I am know enough to be dangerous. But I have awonderful IT guy at work who always fixes me right up. Except when I am on vacation like right now. Oh what would I do if I have a problem in the next 7 days? Now you have me worried. Glad your DH got it fixed for you.Janicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13303943561559305076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678998574963856841.post-76348541029110858132010-12-28T08:58:10.931+10:302010-12-28T08:58:10.931+10:30Oh, what would we do without the techies in our li...Oh, what would we do without the techies in our life?

My handsome hubby snores like a freight train also and most nights ends up in the guest room across the hall - one of the few advantages of living in an old, small house with tiny bedrooms instead of a new, modern one with a giant 'master suite' -we each get our own tiny bedroom.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11123520405709193418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678998574963856841.post-78286863592786626692010-12-28T01:39:30.132+10:302010-12-28T01:39:30.132+10:30yep, seems to be happening everywhere ... i've...yep, seems to be happening everywhere ... i've now banned craigslist, ebay and facebook browsing from the office computers. not sure where this crap is coming from but don't want to "catch" it.<br /><br />daily backups at the office and at home too i still worry more about a drive failure than a virus or hacker ...<br /><br />someday i want the computer to brew my coffee while it's powering up ... that would be the ultimate!!!<br /><br />happy new year....<br />and oh .. the sun is shining today ... let the melting begin!Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00478393502995922707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678998574963856841.post-31053508389177012802010-12-28T01:04:07.700+10:302010-12-28T01:04:07.700+10:30For the most part, I'm lucky enough to be my o...For the most part, I'm lucky enough to be my own computer guy. I've got my whole laptop (well, okay, not today's work) backed up on my external harddrive and I've got a tablet and two palm pilots ready to pick up the slack should anything happen.(I also have 5 USB sticks, 2 SD cards and a Transflash in my handbag, but maybe I'm a little overcautious)<br /><br />Since I'm rarely even awake during that side of the morning, I've never woken up to that before, but I remember once eBay going down at about 1am and not being able to go to sleep till it came back at about 6.30am.<br /><br />That was horrible.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11266313274046316499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678998574963856841.post-23411268269617491582010-12-28T00:09:32.302+10:302010-12-28T00:09:32.302+10:30Oh, my day was nothing like yours.

Thankfully, we were able to save the most important files...my pictures from the past 12 years of my kids. I really need to get an external drive. Maybe that should be a new year's resolution?<br /><br />At least you spent that nervous energy doing something productive, right? Kudos for cleaning the cabinet. And you're so nice...I'd have awakened everyone in the house with language that doesn't suit their delicate ears.

Thankfully we have more than one computer, so if one is really badly broken, I do have options. Glad Mr. P was able to get your back in business. <br /><br />My guy is a big believer in backing up files, so much so that for my birthday last year he gave me a huge external drive so I can back up my files. It's come in handy more than once. <br /><br />OK now I have clean cabinet envy!
