Always the Simplest Things First…

This always makes me look like a computer genius or computer guru, but it is always rather simple.  Remember me saying that you should always check the simplest things first when assessing a computer problem?  Dad’s Internet was down at the pharmacy since last night and I rode with my father to the pharmacy at 7am to attempt to fix it.  The only thing wrong was that the cable modem had come unplugged from the wall. I had it booted up and running within minutes. My father was back online with much flowery praise being heaped upon me.  I had never seen dad more excited and appreciative of my efforts.

“Opening the doors for customers this morning would have been disastrous without you,” Dad told me as he drove me home relieved.  “We couldn’t even file insurance.”

Did You Win the Food Lottery?

I know that’s what Maggie is thinking these days. It Is either feast or famine at Andrew’s Casa. I even brought Maggie and I sausage biscuits from Mickey D’s this morning feeling frivolous. Of course, Maggie thought that was the best thing since sliced bread. McDonalds needs a much, much better biscuit, though. Hardee’s has the best fast food biscuit in my humble opinion with the steak biscuit being my absolute favorite.

At work when we call our IT people with a computer issue, the first thing they do is ask us to check all the plugs and cables, and to make sure the monitor is on. I'm sure they've run into those situations a time or two before! You're right, sometimes the simplest solution is the one.

As an IT person I agree. Check cables, plugs and do a hard reboot. Call me back if that doesn't work. 95% of the time that's all it takes.
