Laptops and Live Writer . . .
My day started early with a 9:30 panic call from a client who was leaving at 1 pm for a business meeting out of the country and both of her laptops were messed up. She was hoping I could get one of them working before she left.
Nothing like waiting until the last minute.
It took about 3 hours of going thru the system before I finally got one of the them working and she left for her meeting a happy camper. The 2nd laptop will have to go back to the dealer since the hard drive is dead and it’s still under warranty.
I finally got home about 3:00 pm and tried to get some more stuff done on the rig. I did manage to get the drain plug loose on the water heater, but since I didn’t have time to shut and drain the hot water I left it at that until tomorrow.
After a nice nap, Jan and I headed out about 5:30 to meet Brandi, Lowell, and Landon at Texas Tea Room up in Friendswood, a place Jan and Piper checked out a week or so ago and really liked. Unlike most tea rooms they were also open from 5pm – 9pm Monday thru Friday. But we found out tonight that this is the last week they will be open at night. Apparently they just didn’t get enough business then.
Too Bad. We really like the place and it’s easier for us to go at night.
About 7:30 while we were on our way home from the tea room, Nick Russell called to discuss a problem he was having with Microsoft Live Writer posting to his blog. Nick’s been under the weather lately, but it was good to hear that he’s feeling somewhat better.
On a disappointing note, I’m sorry to report that I did not win the $355 Million Mega-Millions prize last night. Two tickets, one sold in Washington and one in Idaho, split the prize.
Bummer! I would have been happy with even a 3 way split.
That’s about it for today.
