Hands-on.
I was all ready to make a triumphant 'I fixed it' post, but I didn't fix it. 'It' in this case was a stubborn Cobalt machine that was not booting. I tried moving the hardware from case to case, but it seems to be the drive itself that is the broken.
So, the whole mess is now the problem of another coworker that agreed to take a look at it today. The troubleshooting part felt very much like working for dN, which I enjoyed. This job has those moments and they're much nicer to think of than the way everything eventually went. (That might sound bitter, but it isn't, really. I never felt singled out by the layoff.)
Mother Nature's warring selves are out in force. I froze Sunday night, but I'm surely guaranteed to roast by midweek. I talk a lot about the weather, but it's really the only gripe I have. I love the area, the natives are friendly, travel opportunities abound. It'll be seven years in June that I'll have lived here, and there's not *too* much I'd change. I sometimes think about moving back home, but that's probably just nostalgia talking. I'm settled here by now, and this is a good place for me to be.
