IL04: left over from yesterday [10.30am]

Just a few more things that happened yesterday that I didn’t get a chance to blog before falling asleep…

I ended up at the local Starbucks last night with Jenny, Michael, Aaron, and David King of Kansas City Public Library. He’s giving the first presentation in the Web Design & Development track titled “Library Web Site Meets About.com” which is an update of a presentation he gave back at CIL on what his library’s site is doing.

Earlier last evening Outlook started acting funky on my laptop and kept crashing. After one reboot, I wasn’t presented with my login screen. Not only was I not asked to log in, but my account on my laptop was gone. I even took a look at the User Accounts area and found a generic admin account and the guest account. My msauers account had disappeared! Deciding to stay calm I pulled up system restore and rolled back my laptop to last Wednesday. Luckily everything came back. The original problem was a “Failed CRC” in my outlook data file. I ran a full scandisk (it took an hour to check my 60GB hard drive) and it found and fixed the problem. So, all of you folks in IA where I’ve been saying for the past six weeks that I’ve not had a bad spot on a drive in the past few years, well, I just had one.
