Today after school my mom took the kids down to the lake for some fun in the sun. They even managed to find a tree or two climb. They really love there after school adventures with their Nan.

When Backups Fail
Posted on May 7th, 2013 by MRJ
Recently I have found myself thinking about why I started to blog. What did I hope to accomplish by writing in such a public way. My First blog was called Michael’s Thoughts. I started it to write about becoming a father. At least that’s what I think it was. You see I don’t have my original blog online anywhere anymore. I hosted it on a domain I no longer have. When I took it down I’m sure I backed it up, but over the last few weeks I have been looking for the files and I can’t find them.
I have gone through a couple of computers and a few different hard drives since I took my old blog down. And while I have found the sites supporting files, I can’t seem to find a backup of the data file. I know there was one, I remember thinking about setting up a site to see my old posts. Even looked at the SQL files, but I never took the time and now the files are lost. They don’t seem to be in the multiple directories of backups I have on my desktop, or my server. Are the stuck on one of the Hard drives I have attached to my spotty external drive enclosure? or in the stack of hard drives I’ve got stuck on a shelf in the store room.
Or have I just not looked hard enough, it’s so easy to get distracted while going through old files. Last night is a perfect example. While looking for the backup I found my T directory. It contains all my old Turing programs. I tried to run one of the compiled apps, windows promptly informed me that application didn’t run in this version of windows.

POD: Bier Sampler

Tonight I headed out to the Bier Market for a birthday dinner and beer sampling with Danny. I’ve been looking forward to heading to the Bier Market ever since it opened, and I have to say I wasn’t disappointed. The Food was delicious and the beer selection was mind boggling. We tried 8 different beers, and though I could probably list them all I think I’ll just list a couple of the more memorable ones. The first I will give a shout out to was Young’s Double Chocolate Stout, it was full of flavour without being to sweet. The second was Grimbergen Dubbel Abbey Ale and La Trappe Quadrupel Trappist Ale round out my top three of the night. I think I’ll have to plan another visit to the Bier Market soon.

POD: Birthday Fun

Today I turned 36 and I had a great day, from breakfast in bed to an afternoon ballgame with my boy and capped off with a fabulous dinner and cake with the family. It seemed I have to many pictures to choose from. So I could do my usual and put together a collage of all the pictures, but I think the picture of Jacob enjoying the ball game is a better choice. He wasn’t even supposed to be at the game today, my friend Tom had invited me but couldn’t go at the last-minute. I was glad to spend the afternoon with my boy. Of course the one person missing for our little celebration was Violet. She spent the day with her aunt Suzanne at the zoo. It was a great day.

This evening Violet headed out for a sleep over at Aunty Suzanne’s so Melissa, Jacob and I headed to McDs for a late night Ice Cream. While there I thought it would be nice to get a picture of Just me and my Boy. I should have asked Melissa to take the picture, but instead I used the front facing camera.

Today Melissa has finally gotten a real phone, a Samsung S4. It’s fun to watch her explore its amazing capabilities. Now I just need to convince her that I need one too.

Today when I got home I found Violet’s latest piece of art waiting for me. I’m not sure what it is, but Violet seemed proud of it. So I think it deserves a place as my Picture of the Day.
