Dateline 4-24-2016

Good thing my rule is that tomorrow doesn't start until I wake up because I would have missed a by midnight deadline but this time it wouldn't have been my fault. Today was apparently computer upgrade day which sent into a limbo of having to wait for reboots only to have to fix the inevitable issues that come with change.

The thing that sucks is that I was actually on a good pace to finish my web development class that I put on hold back when I started my job hunt. I plan to visit a career center on Tuesday to get a little help guide me through my career change so I decided to switch my focus back to school until I meet with my career counselor.

I finished my PHP assignment last night leaving me a two sections left to complete and I was on a good pace to get them finished until my computer decided to warn me that it was going to shut down in 15 minutes and unlike usual it didn't give me the option to post-pone the restart.

It's been doing this a lot lately and it is real annoying. This time it was different though. Usually the reboots go pretty quickly, but this time there was an upgrade percentage bar and it was moving very slow, so slow I decided to take a nap.

Good thing I did because after an hour's slumber I woke to see it was 90% complete and may restart multiple times. Though I do like a major update from time to time they never go as smoothly as promised.

Once everything was up and running again my computer was running a little slow. So, I decided to run all my maintenance programs. This got my computer running normal again but my browser was acting weird. The background image to the page I was building would randomly disappear, I would get everything working correctly then hit refresh and those features wouldn't work again even though I wasn't making a new save.

I found earlier that one of my plugins was causing a conflict so I decided to refresh my browser all together. I should have planned that out better because when my browser restarted everything went to hell. 

I reinstalled my ftp app and all the login info was gone, but that was barely a problem. For some reason every other site was blocked due to some certification issue that it took me about a half hour to resolve.

In fact, I just finished that right now, hence the late post. Things seem to be running much better now so let's hope tomorrow goes without a glitch.

I doubt it but as always, I'll let you know how it goes,
