Crosswords

My mom used to solve crosswords. I remember that we bought newspaper almost every day and she read them almost completely, but Wednesdays and Saturdays were special days for her. Those were the crossword days.

Time to time I solve, or tried to, a crossword who come with the Sunday newspaper, but it’s a mixture between easy and silly. Some weeks ago I found a huge crossword on Saturday which made me remember old times. I couldn’t resist the temptation and started to solve it. After finish I asked again my dad to put it the office because there is a contests with prizes and extra money is always welcome.

Nowadays I’m solving one divided in 3 pieces. Yesterday I got the second one and when I get the final piece next Saturday I’ll put them together, solve it and participate in a new contest.

A little bit change of plans

Yesterday I received good news that made me change some plans I had. In the middle of the darkness there is a light, a light I didn’t expected so soon. I’m checking my new priorities and my list of resolutions. At this moment there is no changes on the list, just I need to get hurry.

Also I chose my next certification: Oracle Database OCP 10g. I had discarded this one some months ago after get the OCA, but again a little unexpected light appeared. Get ready is now the problem. LOL

My 8GB MicroSD died (Part V)

I've been busy these days, so I had to ask my dad to put my envelope with my MicroSD in the post office. Now, I can only wait and see if I can get a new one or I should start to search for a 8GB class 6. I’m a bit reluctant to buy a new one. I know myself and if I didn’t think carefully maybe now I would be buying a new one and sending the old one. Luckily the reason was stronger than my whim.

My 8GB MicroSD died (Part IV)

Good news, provider answered and is asking me to send the card back! Well, I expected that without being optimistic. We’re finally agree that the card is broke down. I’ll send it by mail as soon as possible. 

My 8GB MicroSD died (Part III)

I received an answer from my seller. Now we are exchanging e-mails and performing test to the card in order to see if there is something else to do. I’m sure the card is dead but I hope my seller can give me some options. I want my card!

My 8GB MicroSD died (part II)

I could save my info, but not all. As I have another microSD card, I put my info there and now my N95 is working fine. My final touches are re-install some programs.

The previous one is officially dead, as I can’t format it. It’s a HW failure. I wrote an e-mail to the ebay's seller if there is some hope. Also I’m searching for a new one, maybe class 6.

My final status: 

• I lost my data from Wellness Diary. I had to use my previous backup from November and re-import the past entries from Sport Tracker and Step Counter.
  
• I could restore data from Sport Tracker, Step Counter and Mobipocket Reader, but I had to reinstall them.
  

My advise is: take a full backup of the MicroSD time to time. Don’t suffer.

Bad luck is chasing me! My 8GB MicroSD died!

First, my problem with N95 browser, now my little 8GB MicroSD broke down today. I’m trying patiently to rescue all as I can, but cyclic redundancy is failing over and over. Fortunately I performed sync yesterday, but some data (for example Sport Tracker) is not synchronized.

Everything started when I was testing Nokia Download! and installed “Money Manager”. As it was a trial, I proceeded to uninstall it and when I checked some applications disappeared. Also I tried to “update” Sport Tracker using Download!, I think there started the corruption, because I was using the last beta version.

I’m tired now. I’ll continue tomorrow with this rescue mission.
