The hardest thing…
Well, maybe not the hardest thing, but one hard thing about being a dad is trying to find time to blog about being a dad. Think of that as a metaphor for “The hardest thing about being a Dad is finding the time to do the things that you get personal enjoyment from, and aren’t always about kids.”
This week was filled with several todo items for “The IT Department” which, of course, is me.
- Mac Mini ran out of HDD space, and needed an upgrade. Lots of research here about what to do and buy, but in the result, got 2GB ram and 200GB disk to breathe some new life into it. This took 2 separate trips to the parts store before getting right, and I still have to go back there to return the RAM that wasn’t recognized by the aging mini.
- The power supply of my home server (and my home desktop!) croaked, and the extent of damage is unknown. Hopefully, the disks are still ok (they, RAID, so I’m hopeful) and if not, it means restoring stuff from an aging backup.
- Figuring out what the IT infrastructure for our kitchen remodel will be — Phone? Network? Cable? Audio? To which rooms? How much are you willing to pay?
Ugh! At least we’re out of childcare limbo and Mr. Busy is back to his normal daily routine…
