A Great Day!

            What a great day.  I woke early this morning and was quite tired… I didn’t sleep well last night and I was worried about the situation with the network here at Msalato.  I wasn’t sure I could fix it… but low and behold – I got a lot accomplished today.  First, I learned that one of the hard drives on one of the servers was dead.  So I replaced it, but that didn’t solve any problems I was experiencing.  Then, with the help of my predecessor I was able to fix one of the two servers here (in particular this was the terminal server that drives all of the computers in the two labs).  Later I got advice about how to salvage the user accounts of the students and staff.  It will be a long process, but it will work.  I will have to have all of the students and staff members come see me and then I will create a new user account for them (eventually, I should be able to combine the new account with their old ones).  Anyway, today I was also able to get a fan for my home so that I can cool down on hot afternoons (summer is coming up here).  Well, I am going to get to bed and prepare for another good, productive day.

PS  the best part of the day was when I was surprised to get a phone call this evening from my father, whom I had not spoken to since I left home.  I will get a chance to talk to my mum tomorrow.  Well, back to bed.
