If you move to Panama you have to know what you are going to do for entertainment. Many come here and the uniqueness wears off quickly and they decide that Panama was a mistake. It all depends on what your interests are and what makes you happy.
Luckily for me most of my interests are relate [...]

Recently, I have been bombarded by emails from a new company by the name of Computer Protection Service (CPS). Apparently this company has opened up shop in Boquete and is looking for clients to purchase their Computer recovery solution. I guess I must have added my name to some list without realizing it.

Well, I have almost gotten everything back up and running. It was not as easy as I had hoped, but I guess any good learning experience is time well spent.
I started this process because of the failed hard drive that contained Windows Vista. I had been running just with Linux, but there was some things [...]

Lots to do and not enough time. Today I am going to work on replacing the failed hard drive in my main PC and I will find out if the restore DVDs I made of Vista work. May be down for a while.

I was able to boot up a live CD Linux system and backup [...]

Last night my dual boot PC with Windows XP and Linux started failing. At first I thought it was a Windows problem. However, when I rebooted in Linux it had other problems. In Windows, I was getting the Blue screen of death and in Linux it was running and then freezing.

It has been a while since I have written about my recent hardware upgrade. I have it pretty well setup like I like now. The purchase has been a great success. I could not have touched what I bought for less than $2,000 and I got it for less than half that including upgrading to [...]

I have been busy working on the new PC. After a shaky start, it is running like a champ.
I am actually happy that I resolved the Microsoft Vista problems and re-installed it. I have applied all maintenance through SP2 and it is running very well. I must say that I like it better than I [...]
