It took a while, but the techno-demons have been cast out of the new machine.<\/p>\nIt took a while, but the techno-demons have been cast out of the new machine.<\/p>\n
Setting up a new computer is always a pain in the ass. In this case it turns out that the old machine had gotten a bit senile in it’s last days and corrupted the backup I have at the apartment.<\/p>\n
So when I restored the backup(s) to the new machine, I also restored the corrupted files. OOOOPPPS!<\/p>\n
Neither I, or the old workhorse realized there was a problem, so there was no way to anticipate the issue and since the old machine wasn’t working there was no way to check before I brought the new machine online.<\/p>\n
Under normal circumstances, if I’d just been doing a normal computer replacement I’d have checked the backup before restoring to the new machine which would have avoided the problem.<\/p>\n
It’s 4 AM<\/p>\n
I woke up thinking I was late to work. I’m going to go back to sleep for a couple of hours. I guess it’s going to take me some time to get over the odd schedule I’ve been living on for the past 3 years.<\/p>\n
Since I was awake I figured I’d check on the computer. It looks like everything has been sorted at the apartment hooray!<\/p>\n
Now I have to clean up the backup on the mountain to complete the setup and fully retire the old machine. Just a couple more details to finish & files to load, and those can be done mostly automatically. I’m still in San Diego and will head up to the mountain later today.<\/p>\n
It’s nice to not be worried about timing or rushing to get somewhere. I can take my time without worry over losing my job. That’s already happened!<\/p>\n
This new keyboard feels strange. I do like the touch-bar but it’s going to take some getting used to.<\/p>\n
I’ll probably come back to San Diego on Tuesday. I’ll take the opportunity provided by being on the mountain during the week to make arrangements with a storage facility nearer the house to store the larger items from the apartment.<\/p>\n
The plan is to take the smaller items up and reintegrate them into the house storing only those things I don’t need in the storage facility.<\/p>\n
Depending on the job situation I’ll move stuff from there if I need to.<\/p>\n
The Job market is very weird right now and I don’t know how long a period of unemployment I’m looking at. Who does? It’s a lot harder to land a job than it used to be.<\/p>\n
In the mean time I’ve got a couple of books to write and perhaps that will help with the income side of things. After all those stories have been fermenting in my head for a few years they should be about ready to pour onto the page.<\/p>\n
It’s 4:30, I’m going back to sleep.<\/p>\n
Have a great Sunday<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
