I Found A Relatively Easy Fix / Ambassadors and Leaders

Hello everybody,

After yesterday's post, I was fed up with Windows Vista.  That has not changed, but I did find a relatively easy solution to the Windows Update problem.  When I had worked on the failed Service Pack 2 update previously, I had created an Administrator account in the process.  Well, yesterday I tried everything to successfully install failed updates on the man's computer, and nothing would work.  I had all but resigned myself to listening to all the forum responses stating I would have to email Microsoft to get the Vista DVD, and then spend hours attempting to do an Upgrade that may or may not work.  I first decided I would attempt to manually perform the updates from the Microsoft Support site using the Administrator account.  What do you know?  IT WORKED!!!  It took three hours to perform all the updates, but I have a very satisfied customer who feels much safer now that he knows I can successfully install his updates for him, even if it does take longer.

On a better note, I found out that my friend Scott Rowan (follow his blog at srkap.blogspot.com) has been accepted into the School of IS&T's Ambassadors and Leaders Program.  This is very exciting because it proves to me that the program takes its members very seriously.  He has been answering questions for me concerning blogging (he is responsible for this blog), CMS, and Web Hosting.  Essentially, he has taken time out from his busy schedule to discuss anything and everything I have inquired about.  This is exactly the type of friendship and teamwork we need more of in today's world.  Needless to say, I am very proud of Scott, and am extremely grateful for everything.  It is an honor to be his friend, and to now say we are both Ambassadors and Leaders.  Way to go Scott!!!!! 

Today I have to venture to my mom's house to install some software for her.  You can never get too big to keep doing the little things for people.  If you cannot take a little time out to help others, then all your work and education is pointless.  I am also going to install the webcam I bought for use on Skype.  This will enable me to have more professional meetings and discussions.

Have a great day,
