So this past week Ive been very busy with work. For some reason my job goes in extreme waves and Ill have two weeks of nothing to do, then a week of extreme non-stop computers to fix for everyone and their mother. Last week I installed Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 on a clients system, a Dell SC420, same server I’ve got at home and tested on, and after installing the service pack, the system blue screened in every boot mode with ‘REGISTRY_ERROR’ I called dell and after the first guy asked what I had done, he filled out a ticket for a software guy to call me. About 20 mins later I got a call from the software guy at dell, and he instructed me on where I could go to get a bootable ISO that Dell had prepared to fix the registry problems. It was about 150mb to download, but this client apparently has very fast dsl and it came down very quick. When all was done, the server worked perfectly as it should with service pack 1 and life went on. Ive got about 2 more SP1 installs that I still need to do, but I’m a little more afraid of it now than I was before.

Ive also been working on my boat trailer. I’ve got this 1,100 rpm grinder and i get to grind off all the rust on the trailer before I can prime it with this rust crap, then with primer, then went 2 or 3 coats of paint. Oh joy.
