I promise that someday I’ll be back to normal blogging that all the folks that read this site all love, but meanwhile, here’s an update on things after last night. I went home and tried to get some sleep, got about 90 minutes, but couldn’t sleep as my mind was still hanging out here in the office, making me a nervous wreck. At about 6 o’clock, after thrashing around in bed for at least an hour, I finally got up, showered, and drove back into the office.
After a bit of work, I got the server up and running in full (for the most part) this morning. I got everybody printing properly, got most everybody into their e-mail, and setup most folks’ preferences. I’m still having some oddball roaming profile issues, mostly from folks who log in from home (anybody want to give me a hand on these? Active Directory whiz, I am not). They can sit and simmer for a bit, however, as they’re not critical to the function of things, minus they can’t get access to e-mail and other preferences. I’m also having an issue that didn’t crop up until I had Citrix on the server: The clock periodically resets itself. Still haven’t had time to figure that one out, but am not going to worry about it right now, but if anybody has any random ideas off the top of their head, feel free to share.
I was at the office from about 7:00am until about 10:30 this morning. I then went to Selco to get an auto loan for my new ride (got a nice 4.5% interest rate), and then I went home and slept for about 90 minutes or so, spent some time with the kids, ate something, and now I back at the office, getting the accounting software all setup so that we can get paid this week (figured this would happen during a payroll week). Should be here just about another 30 minutes or so, and then I’m heading out of here and going to bed.
I’ve already said I’m not going to come to work tomorrow because not am I totally and utterly exhausted, but I think I’ve caught a bit of my daughter’s stomach bug, as I was feeling crappy all day today. Hopefully a good night’s sleep will help that a bit.
Back to regular links (and I’ve got a ton of great submissions) when life is back to normal a bit (what I wouldn’t wish to have me cloned so my clone could post the links here, or to have a guest contributor or six).
Meanwhile, there’s lots of interesting reading here (even if the date/time stamps are a bit messed up on the thing).

I could try and show you how to do this, but I’d have to charge you a lot of money.
Actually, good luck with everything.
Good luck from me too. Is the CMOS battery okay? Might explain the time problems.
And get some sleep 🙂 . Seriously, lack of sleep affects your immune system so you’re more likely to pick diseases off other people.
Please can we see some pics of the new car/van ? Seems very cheap to an Australian.. Maybe some more details on it..?
thanks in advance

not sure exactly what your user profile problems are, but you should head over to microsoft.com and do a search for “uphclean” thats fixed more then its fair share of profile issues at the hospital….. If that dosnt work…just post a few more detail of what exactly is wrong.
how do i get an image next to my blog on the bendblogs page?
Glad to hear things are at least working now! I don’t think the CMOS battery is a problem, Neil, since the server obviously never actually turns off. Don’t know what the problem is, though, so don’t listen to me anyhow.
Actually, found the time problem (I think): The time sync service was running, for some reason, and that, I think that was screwing things up.
As for uphclean, I think that was installed on the previous Citrix server, so I’ll have get that back up on one. Thanks for the reminder, Mark.
Shannon: It’s pulling the favicon.ico files from sites that use them. You can read up on what those are use the tool here.
since i don’t have anywhere to post images, i can’t do a favicon 🙁
