Christmas Pictures Up
For those waiting for the entire set of Christmas pictures, they are finally up. See all of Christmas day (and a little more) here. – b
Storage Upgrade
With all the pictures we take of the girls, we knew our 500 GB network storage would run out of room eventually. Then Thursday night an error appeared in the log indicating one of the disks was at risk of failing. Not necessarily full, but possible failure. Ok. Time to pull the trigger. When we […]
