Computers and Ranting
I am always writing something or other with the many projects I am currently involved in, all of them being somehow birth related it seems. We are in the middle of a huge expansion project with the Canadian Doula Association and my computer started to whine. No noises eminated from the tower at my feet, but it was slowing down a little more each day and upon further inspection I learned that the hard drive was slowly losing memory. I immediately assumed a virus, but none were found and I continued to investigate. We are almost positive it is actually an aging factor, the hard drive is failing and more so each day. Before experiencing a hard lock (which I hear is not a fun experience), I burned all of my files to CD and am now working on our new "notebook" laptop. I still have a few programs to install in this computer before I am able to continue on the above projects, but it is a wonderful pause as I spend the entire day just hanging out with the kids.
