Log
10:15 AM: I’m up.
11:10 AM: [Emmy] is watching KDKA TV’s locally-hosted show, Pittsburgh Today Live on the DVR. We currently have 65 recordings saved there to see. So she’s going to have to get busy watching because the DVR is 95 percent full now, and we wouldn’t want to miss any episodes of The Young and the Restless, due to the hard drive filling up.
02:00 PM: Worked the DJ Gig: 2009-12-31 project. While syncing the music hard drives, I discovered a Hard Disk Drive Failure in one of the music library HDDs. Not a show-stopper by any means. But I now must order some new drives, to replenish my supply of spare drives, which is now depleted.
03:00 PM: No mail received today.
04:00 PM: In light of the Hard Drive Failure experienced today, I’ve decided to initiate the Hard Drive Upgrades: 2010 project.
06:45 PM: Got back a little while ago from a shopping trip with Debbie. Mom’s second party this week is well under way and has basically the same dishes as were served last night; taco dip, chips, crackers, shrimp, pop. Someone brought a pumpernickel loaf with spinach dip as well, that tasted very good.
07:00 PM: [Emmy] is listening to tonight’s Penguins hockey game against the New Jersey Devils.
09:30 PM: Mom’s party is over now. All has a great time, so I heard them commenting as they left.
10:30 PM: Worked the Hard Drive Failure: 2009-12-30 issue. Since Seagate is closed for the New Years holiday, I’ll have to wait until sometime next week to talk to them about the two failed drives I discovered today.
12:05 AM: Posted the list of added or revised posts to the Tom’s Diary blog. Click here to see the list.
12:25 AM: Well, I’m out of here for seven plus hours of sleep. Catch you tomorrow, and do take care.
