Our A/C broke last night. The repairman came this morning and said the blower motor was shot. Luckily, it was under warranty. That saved me $300. Praise God. He should have it fixed tomorrow. Thank God it is cool out today.

Well I have been trying to successfully rebuild my Exchange server for 4 days now. I get to the configuring part and it errors out on one particular Exchange task. I am a little frustrated to say the least. I have a case opened with Microsoft so hopefully they can figure it out.

Maybe some of you have noticed that my mail server is down. This weekend, the hard drive died and I haven’t received the replacements yet. I have ordered two new hard drives and a RAID card. That way if it happens again the server will still run. I am a little lost without my email.

Katherine passed her LCSW exam today! She is now a licensed clinical social worker (that is what it stands for). Congrats to Katherine. Those many hours of study did pay off.

I know it is a day early, but I would like to thank all those who have given their lives protecting our freedom. I would also like to honor those currently serving in the US military. No matter what our president says, this is one American who supports you!

This is our first spring in our new house and I was not prepared for all the yardword that was going to be required. Almost every night I am out in the yard mowing or tending to the pool. Now that the pool and sprinklers are ready for the summer it should slow down a [...]

After “deciding” to use Asterisk yesterday, I was talking to a friend and he pointed me to Trixbox. Trixbox is based on Asterisk but has a lot of cool things and installs in appliance mode. Basically, it looks like you install the product and it installs Linux, PHP, MySQL, etc. Can’t wait to try it.
