It has been a long time since I had a chance to blog.<\/p>\n
I’m not sure why, since I’ve had a lot of time off recently. But as it turned out, I had less free time than I expected. This always seems to happen during long holidays – a similar situation occurred during Golden Week last May.<\/p>\n
Anyway, this time around it was quirky behavior with our home network. Suddenly when streaming music and movies over a wired ethernet connection there would be sudden drops and over slow behavior. I spent two days troubleshooting, and after buying a new router and having no change in the situation, I think I narrowed down the problem to our little home server.<\/p>\n
It has been problematic before, but I think it is time to move the data off the little beast and put it into retirement. I haven’t had it that long, a couple of years, but I get nervous with all our music and photographs residing on it. What if it just up and died one of these days.<\/p>\n
So my next project is to put together a new server, and then transfer the information over to it. I don’t mind putting together a computer, but it is time consuming.<\/p>\n
Yesterday Kuniko and I went into Osaka to do some shopping, see a movie (Monster University) and then have dinner at a Greek restaurant. We weren’t able to find a Greek place in Kobe, and this restaurant was the only Greek restaurant in Osaka. I guess Greek isn’t that popular here. Even at this restaurant they had to pad out the menu with some Italian dishes. Still, the food was better than average. I guess I was just hoping for a little more variety. I can’t wait to try to the real deal soon.<\/p>\n
Today it was back to work after the long holiday. A two day week is always good!<\/p>\n
Tomorrow after work we’ll go pick up my friend Rico’s son Dino, who is here in Japan playing football for a week. We thought we’d take him out to yakiniku in Kobe. I’m looking forward to seeing him and hearing how his trip is going!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
