| So the Faith in Action talent show was Friday (the 28th of April), and
I ended up spending most of the day working on that. I felt so sick, it
wasn't a good day. I was having problems breathing, felt like I needed
to cough constantly, and from time to time felt a bit light headed. I
ended up coughing so hard I ended up dizzy. Once in the middle of the
show, it was so bad I had to grab the table in front of me to tell
which way was up. I finally was able to go to bed around 2 a.m. which
was good because I was feeling feverish and chilled. Saturday
wasn't much better, but at least I woke up without feeling like I had a
fever. Didn't get much sleep saturday night, and took a nap
Sunday afternoon. All things considered, I'm feeling better. Still not
perfect, but...
Anyway, gotta get the stuff finished up for the business.

| I went out to eat with my sister, the Tylermonster, and his grandmother
on Nick's side. Coming back, we got rearended sitting at a stoplight.
Let's just say it was unpleasant and leave it at that. :( See you
all in the morning.
Oh, and good news! I have my home email system now doing virus
scanning of attachments, spam checking, and I even have a web based
access to my emails. Ain't that cool stuff.
Want an email address at slayernet.org? Let me know, I'll setcha one up.

| Ok, so I'm feeling a bit better, but the sinuses are still putting in
lots of overtime trying to make me uncomfortable. In other news,
I think I got a business plan written (1st draft anyway), and a few
more services working, like a more secure email, web mail, and possibly
mail virus and spam scanning tools. I've been working on the system
administration stuff. It seems to be coming along... slowly, but
progressing.
Mom 'twisted' my arm so I'll apparently be liturgizing on Sunday
morning. Don't miss it, a rare opportunity to see me get tongue-tied in
public. Anyway... I gotta find some laundry detergent... I
thought I had some here... if not, I foresee a quick trip to Wally
world in my future. Party on.

| Well, as most of you know, we lost power last Sunday, April 2nd?
3rd? I can't remember. lol Anyway, managed to get all my
computers shut down (I woke up and was downstairs less than 5 minutes
before it happened! Otherwise, it would have all died a horrible
death to my computers.) Finally gave up on power being restored,
went to Mom's to at least have some company while waiting for
everything to come back up, and we broke down at dusk and decided to go
see Ice Age 2. It was kinda funny, so was worth the time.
Got home around 11:30 or so and found power back on, managed to get
everything up and running by like 3 a.m. or so again. Was
exhausted most of Monday, and did a bit of work on monday I think,
maybe I played World of Warcraft to relax, I can't remember. I think I
was trying, but got kicked off because they were having multiple
issues. Tuesday, they had problems most of the day, and kept us
offline. Anyway, all was pretty good until wednesday. I woke up
to find my file server with all my data here at the house had a hard
drive failure. And of course, the system was *NOT* backed up.
:( So, I spent all day wednesday trying to recover the system,
well into late thursday morning. As if that's not bad enough, I woke up
Wed feeling like I was getting sick, and guess what! I did. go
figure. So, trying to get all that crap put back together took a whole
bunch of time and effort, and I ended up losing a few things in the
process, but most of what I lost I don't care about. I'm just
happy I got most of the data back off it. Anyway, I was kinda
stressed out over the whole thing, and have just felt miserable all
through the rest of the week.
I've been hacking up a lung every time I turn around since like friday
night, and just didn't feel like I could sit in church and not either
end up causing a big distraction with a huge coughing fit, or getting
sick. Anyway, still not feeling so hot, but I gotta get stuff
going again.Still just feeling like my head will explode. On the plus
side, work wouldn't be so difficult... lol j/k. Have a good one.

| It's been one of those days. No, not THOSE days, one of the other
kind. :) As most of you know, I'm trying to start a business. One
of the key pieces has to do with Windows File Server Services. There's
a thing called a "Domain" where certain things work together and
'automatically' get set up for you just by entering your
password. I finally got my XP system to join my domain today
(server is Samba on Linux if you care). So, my 'home' directory gets
mounted on login, and my desktop is now copied over from my
server. This allows me to be able to log in from different PCs
and have the exact same environment. And if the same applications
are installed on all PCs, then everything works identically on
both. Once you have a domain set up, you can do several things
with it. So, this has been a key piece of what I needed to get
working, and woohoo, it finally is working! I'm so excited.
So, tomorrow, I reload the system, and see if I can get it working
again within 5 minutes of the reload.
Have a good time. :)
