Just maybe it was the kid who hacked grandpa's account and made the post... :hDe: Thm:

OK, guys. I have enough information to do battle. I think we can stop reporting the interruptions now. Thanks everyone for your input and diligence. It's been quite helpful.

Um, to get a second opinion??

Congratulations, Grampa!

Hey Zee!!! Welcome back. Sorry to hear about the medical problems. That is no fun at all. Also sorry to hear about the workload. I'm in a similar situation. Had a bunch of computers from a sister company dumped in my lap when all the system admins decided to up a leave in very close time. 6 to...

George (and everyone), The attachments issue has been resolved. While we do welcome uploads of attachments to your posts it is still highly recommended (not required!) that everyone use a third-party photo server such as Photobucket, Flickr or Picasa. Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you...

George, I'm afraid I don't have an immediate answer for you. While we do have free disk space, it is being used up rather quickly. We have very nearly 20,000 photos stored on our server alone. It's possible that we have reached some sort of quota, I don't know, I'll have to research it...

Thanks for the link, Rick. I've been threatening to make the sale in Springfield for a couple years now. But considering the last time I filled the gas tank I dropped a full $100 bill I don't think I'll make it this year either.

Not guilty, except maybe being overworked and tired and not paying attention to details... ;D And not having the time to tweak out our new server here at HMEM. More crap hit the turbine today at work. Bet it lands in my lap. Again. Even though it has nothing to do with me. Somebody forgot to...

Whoops! Hey! I just noticed this was about HSM. Crap! I thought you were talking about us! Sorry, my confusion. We have had intermittent issues with our new server, as well, and I didn't read the name fully, just saw the "home" and "machinist". Ok, I'll leave this as is before I really...

Yeah, I had noticed that... ;D What I meant was the next time you are experiencing a problem, just try again after a few minutes. It's funny, I just got home and had an email about your reply, when I logged in to read it the server was in the process of rebooting so I got the "connection...

I've had decent connection, CS. The new host (what is called a "virtual machine") has been rebooting itself every few days, about once a week depending on server load. It has to do with a bug in the PHP plug-in module for the web server. Perhaps that is what you've experienced. The VM reboots...

Looks kinda windy there, too, Doc. That should do wonders for the visibility and really help out the driving. I think we finally got rid of the snow, I got real tired of the 80 degrees one day and 4 inches of snow the very next day. For a month. Now we just get rain. Lots of it. Pretty soon...

Pete, You make a good point about the salt mixed in with pork fat, and the bacteria associated with using animal fats. However, your delivery tasted more like vinegar. Perhaps you could be a little more diplomatic in your responses, please.

Welcome to the world of IT, Rick ;D That's why there are ALWAYS at least two copies of everything. If your data and code doesn't change much, and you can fit all the machine copies on one or two DVDs, I'd do just that. Make a copy each week and take it home. When you had about 5 or 6 copies at...

Have you backed up your computer today? http://technolog.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2011/03/31/6381827-its-world-backup-day-have-you-secured-your-data Regular, consistent backups should be a part of everyone's computer maintenance schedule. And that means copying to a device that is separate from...

Ken, I'm afraid that after all the data are analyzed they'll find that is has already surpassed Chernobyl. It sounds as if they've already had at least one excursion. I'm certainly no expert on the subject, but I suspect the only way to get things under control is to disassemble the cores, or...

Arnold, Thanks for the reminder on Delta Copy. I'd forgotten exactly why I had looked at it, but then I'm not a Windows guy and only pay little attention to the stuff. None of my Windows data actually resides on the Windows box, it's all on Linux machines and NAS's so I don't lose anything WHEN...

Steve, On Linux there is a program called rsync that does exactly what you are asking for, however it does not run directly on Windows. Look up Cygwin, this allows some Linux utilities to run on a Windows box. I believe rsync is one of them. Rsync is how I backup HMEM, with our footprint now...

Well, it's quite "obvious" to me that a jet engine needs to take in air, so I'm going with: 1) A rocket engine carries it's own oxidizer. I jet doesn't.
