Well, I’m sure most of you read Erin’s blog, so you’re probably all up to speed on our exciting news for next year.\u00c2\u00a0 We decided to get a snake.\u00c2\u00a0 After long discussions with James we are going to name him Alligator.\u00c2\u00a0 Since the arctic isn’t really the best place for a snake we are going to move to Brainerd, MN.\u00c2\u00a0 Erin informed the local middle school that she’d be taking over one of their 6th grade classes for them. We are really excited to be near our friends Mike and Amanda who also live in Brainerd.\u00c2\u00a0 They should have a new baby by now, so hopefully Alligator will play nice with their new little one.\u00c2\u00a0 (The above is mixed with fact and fiction can you figure out what is real and what isn’t?)<\/p>\n
So that was the good.\u00c2\u00a0 The bad began a couple of days ago.\u00c2\u00a0 I was working on an email when my computer began acting a little funny.\u00c2\u00a0 When I tried to send the message it would blank everything out.\u00c2\u00a0 The person I was sending to, the subject, and the message itself.\u00c2\u00a0 So I deleted the message and tried with a new message.\u00c2\u00a0 The same thing happened.\u00c2\u00a0 I deleted the message, closed Mail and launched it again.\u00c2\u00a0 The message popped up which it shouldn’t have done because I deleted it.\u00c2\u00a0 So it was still acting funny.\u00c2\u00a0 I opened up a new message and the same thing happened.\u00c2\u00a0 I decided I’d relaunch Mail again.\u00c2\u00a0 This time when Mail opened back up it told me that it was corrupted and needed restart itself to try to fix the problem.\u00c2\u00a0 It did this to me twice.\u00c2\u00a0 I decided it would be a good idea to restart the computer and see if that resolved the issue.\u00c2\u00a0 When the computer tried to start the only thing that showed on the screen was a folder with a question mark on it. \u00c2\u00a0 Not a good sign.\u00c2\u00a0 I brought the machine to PK.\u00c2\u00a0 He plugged it into one of his machines to work on it.\u00c2\u00a0 The only problem was that the partition that had all my data on it was not longer found.\u00c2\u00a0 The HD didn’t even know it had anything on it.\u00c2\u00a0 :(\u00c2\u00a0 Not good.\u00c2\u00a0 PK ran data recovery software on it.\u00c2\u00a0 The next day it was finished and we were able to recover all my data.\u00c2\u00a0 Which was awesome.\u00c2\u00a0 I hadn’t backed up in a while, and it would have been a bummer to lose everything.<\/p>\n
The Ugly.\u00c2\u00a0 I spent the next day erasing the HD and installing Mac OS X on it.\u00c2\u00a0 It took me three tries for the install to work.\u00c2\u00a0 I thought it was a problem with one of my install disc’s.\u00c2\u00a0 So I got the OS installed, and worked late at work getting the updates all installed, and a few programs on.\u00c2\u00a0 I went home and started moving my files over and getting things set up the way I want them.\u00c2\u00a0 About 1:00 AM the computer started acting up again.\u00c2\u00a0 I restarted and it kernel panic’d on me.\u00c2\u00a0 this is where the screen turns gray and a message comes up in like 7 languages telling you to restart your computer.\u00c2\u00a0 This happens from time to time, so I restarted and it happened again.\u00c2\u00a0 After several tries it kernel panic’d every time right when it started up.\u00c2\u00a0 Not good.\u00c2\u00a0 So after spending the entire day trying to get it back up and running it was down for the count again.\u00c2\u00a0 I brought it into PK this morning and he just skyped me a big ago telling me that the b-tree was messed up on it again.\u00c2\u00a0 Having two of those in as many days is a very good sign that the HD is toast.\u00c2\u00a0 So now I am on a loaner computer waiting for a new HD to come in the mail.\u00c2\u00a0 \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n
I flew over to Koyuk today on the BSSD plane.\u00c2\u00a0 I am here to work with Koyuk students to broadcast the regional NYO (Native Youth Olympics) tournament.\u00c2\u00a0 We will be streaming it live if your interested.\u00c2\u00a0 I’ll update the BSSD website with information on how to view the live streams.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
