Klatuu - 24 Apr 2007 15:34 GMT First, I want to apologize to everyone who I was working with and left you with unanswered questions. Because of a convergence of circumstances, I have not been able to participate for some time. These circumstances included a job change, hardware failure, and some personal health issues. Thanks for your understanding.

Allen Browne - 24 Apr 2007 15:42 GMT Welcome back, Dave. Good to have you on board again.
Hope the health, particularly, is good. Hardware can be replaced. A change of job can be good in the long term.

The hardware is replaced. I lost some things, but I have everything pretty much recoved.
A 50% increase in rate is a good thing in the short run even.
The health thing is better and I can deal with it.

Welcome back! Glad you're feeling better, have a new, better job (Chief Data Architect?), and have the hardware replaced. I had a series of hardware failures last summer, too, so I know how painful replacing the hardware can be, but the plentiful backups were lifesavers!

Klatuu - 24 Apr 2007 22:02 GMT Well, it wasn't that I didn't have backups, it was the unusual nature of the failure. The system kept getting slower, and slower and slower. To cut to the chase, I became convinced I had a memory problem, So I got new and more memory which did nothing. Found out the hard drive was failing very slowly, so my backups contained a lot of corrupt data.
I had to search through all the backups to find good files. In all cases, some were good and some not so good, so I had to piece it back together. And, of course, reinstall a lot of software.

hope your health is better -- if not, I know some GREAT naturopaths and if you email me privately, I would be happy to pick their brains :)
Hard drive failure ... hmmm, do you have enough cooling? I had a drive failure and replaced it -- second one started failing as well. Then my son suggested I needed more fans -- bought a new case with lots of fans and haven't had a problem since!
Another thing I do now is keep my computer away from exterior walls as we live in an area with lots of storms -- during one of these storms, a 25-lb magnet I kept on my filing cabinet (exterior wall) lost so much strength it could barely hold itself up!
at any rate, happy you are back -- we have missed you!

Klatuu - 25 Apr 2007 14:02 GMT The disk drive was about 3 1/2 years old, so it was old enough to go. I do keep my computer up 24/7, so it had a few rotations on it.
I'm not even sure I want to know why you have a 25 lb magnet on top of your filing cabinet. I hope you don't have any memory chips in the top drawer.
We have storms here. I am in far north Fort Worth, Texas. It was, in fact, pretty bad last night.
As far as health goes, I am much better. I got a bad cold that developed into bronchitis and pneumonia. That part I am over, but it looks like I may have fibrosis in my lungs. I don't know if a naturopath can do much about that.
Thanks for posting.

Hi Dave,
talked to 2 naturopaths (husband and wife team) -- they both said the same thing for fibrosis in the lungs -- Lobelia, which is very good for lungs anyway even if you didn't have a problem. They said Lobelia is a bronchial dilater and helps build the lungs.
According to them, you can either put a teaspoon or so under the tongue once or twice a day or, if you want to do a lung purge, take enough to get naucious and the do a bit more (each time, stick under tongue then wait a minute or two before repeating) -- this brings up the diaphragm and empties lungs with mucus and other stuff in lungs. They also said it will purge some of the stomache, but mostly what comes up will be from the respiratory tract including the throat, lungs, and bronchial tubes.
here is one link
University of Maryland Medical Center http://www.umm.edu/altmed/articles/lobelia-000264.htm
If you need a place to buy, they have a natural store and do phone orders (7.95 for one ounce of tincture). I would be happy to give you the number off-line -- just email me if you are interested.
"25 lb magnet"
no memory chips in the filing cabinet, just papers ;) It is the kind with a handle for picking up nails, screws, washers, etc as I do some woodworking.

My Lobelia can do 168 mph!
