Comforted

I know
You have all my
Welfare as Your concern
For You assure me of Your care
In the pages of Your glorious Word
Given down through countless ages
For edification
Of my spirit,
My God

I am grateful:

1.   I was able to get up early today even though I was up at 5:00am.
2.   Outlook has worked sporadically today, enough to let me do what I needed to do.
3.   I completed my tasks for the Sweetwater Camera Club webpage without any problem.
4.   I talked to my mentor, Richard, a few minutes.
5.   I got to see a video clip of Triple H this evening.

My Friday has been rewarding. I hope you accomplished all you wished today. Take time to imagine and create something that will enrich our world. You, no doubt, have the ability if you will only exercise it. The entire world awaits your work. You never know how much influence you can have until you make an effort.

As a prompt, write about something you anticipate doing this weekend. Work it into a poem, story, journal entry, or a simple note to refer to later. I am excited about my Nikon School class tomorrow and I expect you have something that brightens your days as well. Perhaps should you have nothing you are looking forward to, you should change your plans to make your weekend wonderful. If you use this prompt, please leave a link to your work in the comments below.

Thank you for visiting my blog. I hope you found enjoyment here. I make an effort to bring some positivity to each day of my Creativity Project. You might like to follow Chronicles to receive future updates. If you have thoughts, suggestions, or criticism to share, please leave a comment.

Always,
Jo Ann

April PAD Challenge, poem 4:

100% Caring

The days amble by
With fertile moments
Filled by multiple tasks
That must be finished.

Giving medicine, preparing
Food, encouraging eating,
Following schedules, driving
Wherever we must go.

Never forgetting that
Others rely upon my
Constant dedication to
Keeping everything done.

Living and loving deeply
Keeping my household
Uppermost in my mind
And utmost in my heart.

5.   The lightning strike nearby only made the power go off for a few moments and did not damage anything.

Can you believe it is already Wednesday again? I hope you enjoyed your hump day. It is not hard to do something creative, so try your hand at it now.

Please leave a comment and let me know what you think of my project.

Another Day, Another Computer Fiasco

I have had some interesting moments with my computers of late.


Thursday, September 30, 2010, I had to call Microsoft Technical Support because Outlook was malfunctioning. After a couple of hours that problem was resolved again. I am not convinced it is permanently resolved, but for the time being it works.

Monday, October 4, 2010, I downloaded Google Chrome. That went well and worked smoothly, but that was the best of my recent adventures in computing. Also on Monday, I had to migrate my blog, Chronicles, from MSN Live Spaces to WordPress. Overall that has worked out okay, except that the photo albums, lists, and links I had on MSN Live Spaces did not migrate. These omissions are not pleasing to me.

Thursday, October 7, 2010, Alex called from Djibouti and informed me my yahoo email account had been hacked. He thought I might have a key-logger on my laptop. I spent a good bit of the day changing passwords on many of the sites I frequent. I also ran Norton scans to find out if there was anything wrong with my laptop which has become my primary computer. I found no problems and am fairly sure the laptop is secure.

Today, October 8, 2010, I turned on the monitor on my desktop computer which was already on and the screen was asking for a boot disk. I turned the computer off because I thought it was just an odd error. I turned it back on and it worked fine until it should have opened the desktop after the Windows loading screen. Instead it rebooted and brought up the HP opening screen. I found out this is called boot-looping and that it could be a software issue or it may be a hard-drive failure. I am hoping my niece’s husband can help me recover the computer from this failure or I will have to take it in to the Geek Squad at Best Buy. I had no printer access with the laptop because it had been networked through the desktop, but I carried the laptop into the bedroom and plugged the printer cable directly into it. That worked, but I knew there was wireless access to the printer, so I called HP Technical Support to get their help setting up the connection. At first they told me my warranty was not active, but they finally verified that it covers my printer. The technician took about three hours to get everything working properly… there were several problems so it took longer than usual.

I sincerely hope that the desktop can be recovered because it has a great deal of programming and data on it that is not accessible any other way.

Hopefully nothing new will go wrong with the laptop, the network, or the printer. I do not think I can deal with another computer related fiasco any time soon.

Always,
Jo Ann
