Letters From Home

Apologies to Twitter, RSS and email subscribers, my post last night came through either horribly mangled or blank. It’s a video of my “GOP Blues” song parody and it plays just fine on the site.

As a first-time video creator (and poster) I obviously have a lot to learn!

Give it a look, if you like, and let me know what you think.

Apologies to anyone who wanted to subscribe to my feed!  Bad enough I copied over the address of my other blog into my sig, but I see now that the RSS link in the banner doesn’t work either.

Wow, what a load of stupid all in one site!  Most of it my fault, too.

The RSS link in the sig now works properly and I’m trying to figure out how to fix the one in the banner.  Sorry about that, Chief!

I finally got all the computer mayhem straightened out, but it sure did cause me a giant case of the wim-wams there for a while.

And I learned a couple new things, like how to get rid of unwanted passwords, and how to force a reluctant computer to boot from the proper hard drive.  I also learned that a Western Digital hard drive won’t work in an external enclosure but a Seagate drive will.  And I got Acronis TrueImage working, with a little help from their tech support, and it does indeed clone drives perfectly.

Oh, and I learned that the lawnmower noise my computer was making was not the hard drive after all but one of the fans, probably in the power supply.  Can we all say DUH!!! together, now?

So that “resolution” gets things back on more or less an even keel at least for the moment.

The other resolution is that I’m not messing with that stuff EVER again.  My son will get a new computer eventually and transferring his stuff from one to the other is going to be entirely in his hands.
