December 27: "Houston, we have a problem!"

Rancho Bernardo, CA

Day #658

Regular visitors to this site know that most of my PaDs are merely a chronicle of a highlight (or lowlight) of my day.

My main computer would not boot this morning, and I'm in the process of running diagnostics. I suspect I'll be struggling with this most of the day.

You wonder how I could then upload and post this shot? Why, I have a trusty laptop (frequently used on the road) that hooks into my high speed connection.

Thank goodness. What would I do if I were shut off from all of you and your wonderful work, let alone ruin my virtually perfect record of 658 straight days of posting an image each day!

Canon EOS 20D ,Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L USM

definitely important to wear a hardhat when tackling problems of such immense proportions. I go nuts when my computers start giving me trouble.

You desk is very neat, not cluttered like mine.
I would never get anything done if I were that organized :)
BTW, why the hard hat? Don't you trust the legs on your tripod?

I see you've been studying
Guest 27-Dec-2005 20:06
Hope you get it worked out soon! That joystick controller can't get a real workout otherwise!
Sharon Rogers27-Dec-2005 20:03

Nice setup. Hope everything will workout.

Is that your window to the left? Looks like a photo, but then again looks like a window sill.

That's quite a PAD record. Hope you solve your computer problem soon.

I'm glad you have a backup or two there, Robin.
