WINDOWS SERVER 2003 R2 INSTALLATION FLAWS

I had so many flaws that the installation ate my day!

I have this “can’t remember well” syndrome after one (1) of installing the same server configuration.

I must see to it that I will finish the manual now so I will not have hard time trying to figure out if next steps are really the right ones.

Lessons:
-Printed manual is really a great help. I should finish it right after the installation so steps are still fresh in my mind.
-Check first if Installer is Bootable before diagnosing and dissecting the unit.

FREE MASSAGE

I had a free body massage [courtesy of my boss:)] last Monday. Got some hour of tension relief. A relieving feeling that I almost fell into sleep.

Though, I felt suffocated in the Sauna (stayed 5 minutes only), the ambiance was very conducIve to relaxation even for a short hour only:).

28th BIRTHDAY!

It’s my Birthday today! I’m 28 now and proud of it:)!

This day is worth remembering of what I have done. I’m a bit happy that I’ve done something good in the past that contributed for what I have and what I am now, mostly in personal aspect.

I’m also confronted today of what I should accomplish in the years to come. I really feel like I accomplished so little and heavily face up to with future goals. As if, there are so many checklists in my mind.

On the lighter side, Vergel presented beautiful roses through flower shop delivery early this morning :). Imagine a smile reaching up to my ears! Yay! Picture of the bouquet will be posted later.

Robin called up all the way from Saudi Arabia. It gave me a feeling of intense pleasure.

Today also made me realize that greeting people in their birthday really sends a message of how important the celebrant is. Probably, I should be diligent in signing-up birthday alarm sites or find tools that will remind me of birthdays a day before so I will be the first person to greet.
