So, I am back from vacation. While nothing bad happened to the server while I was gone (I don't think I got more than one page which later corrected itself), it wasn't the vacation I was hoping for. To put it bluntly, my wife wasn't excited about the prospect of going to Disney in the middle of summer due to the crowds and leaving our dog in the kennel for the third time this year... even though we humans were lucky enough to actually go on three vacations. So, her disappointment tainted most of our time away. While she tried to hide her feelings, they surfaced half way thru the trip. From that moment on, I just wanted to come home. It's tough being unhappy while you are in the happiest place on earth (or it's clone... I think Walt Disney World is the most magical place on earth) but you get the idea. Life goes on.

My home computer is getting back to normal. Now I just have to figure out how to run hardware RAID on the system. I think I need to change a jumper on the motherboard. A buddy of mine who had duplicates of many of the music files I lost was kind enough to copy the contents of his hard drive to one of the new ones I sent him... so the bottom line is that I didn't loose a whole lot when the drive crashed.

I've got a lot of work ahead of me both at work and at the home office over the coming weeks. Among the projects, a redesign of my work website, a redesign of my website, a revision of a lot of the content on my website, new advertising proposals, beginnings of work on the official book, a new rev of the discussion boards coming out, painting of my house interior and a whole lot more. Too much to list here. Add to that the fact that school starts for the kids on Monday and soccer for both kids is just beginning. Oh, and a $9,000 web development project proposal is sitting out there that could come through at any point. I should be pretty booked.
