Today Is the Day

Today has finally arrived.

Today is the day that many people have been waiting for. I know that I have been looking forward to today for some time. You see, today is a very special day. It is an event that many people have been looking forward to.

Obviously today is May 10, 2008. People have made special plans for today some time ago. Today's event has caused many people to make travel plans for this weekend. I would imagine that all the people involved have prayed for perfect weather.

What could be so special about today? There are so many things that happen today across the world. But this is Central Texas. What could be happening here you say?

The event of which I speak is not the big wedding up the road at the ranch in Crawford. Yes, I know for some that will be a big day; president's daughter and all. But apparently my wedding invitation got lost in the mail so I will not be attending the Bush's big blowout.

No the big event of which I speak is the Dwyer Group's annual company picnic. This year it is being held at Sea World-San Antonio. So the blog is short today and maybe tomorrow also. Look for pictures though. I will get a few.

Gotta go, it is time to load up and head south in IH 35.

Bye-Bye!

SUCCESS!!!

We had success yesterday and it was not the rice variety.

The new hard drive has been installed. It is a Western Digital Caviar drive. The new Windows XP operating system has been installed. All updates and drivers have been installed.

Most of last night was spent locating installation discs for many of the very necessary programs. I have to run 3 separate word processors due to the variety of computers I work with at work and other locations. It took a while but I finally located my Microsoft Office installation and added it to the other two programs. I also use Mailwasher Pro from Firestrust and it took some time to locate the registration key for it and a few other programs.

The next thing I need to do is to reprogram my macros into my keyboard to get all my shortcuts back. I use a Logitech G15 keyboard that allows me to program up to 54 shortcuts and macros into the keys to make work easier. And let me tell you, that does come in handy when it comes time to work on the blog.

After the keyboard I will need to work on my Favorites. Fortunately I was able to import them from del.icio.us. The only problem is they were stripped from their folders and I will have to reorganize them for ease of location. After this I will need to try to get all the e-mail addresses back into Outlook, as well as redoing the calendar and trying to recreate the schedule.

Hopefully the blog will be back to normal by Sunday. Thanks for bearing with me through this crisis.

Oh, I also installed a nifty backup program to back up data off site. Maybe that will help to alleviate problems like this in the future.© 2008 Barry T Horst
