Succinct Summation of Week’s Events 8.26.16

Another week off and online but at least as of Friday, the new desktop is on order, supercharged i7 processor with 16GB RAM for video editing and a turbo-charged video card, should be a dream compared to what I've been putting up with.  It'll be ready in about another week so hopefully in about two weeks I'll be back online and back to normal.

Succinct Summation of Week’s Events 8.19.16 (plus CFP update)

I got the report from my tech on Friday and it seems the old Dell desktop is fried.  Tomorrow I go in to lay out the specs for a new one which he will custom build for me optimized for video editing as I continue producing instructional media, particularly on finance and investments.  Maybe by next weekend I'll be back online again, but it may be longer.  Meanwhile, here is the weekly summation, followed by my own collection of daily summations.  And the bonus this week is a progress report on my participation in the Certified Financial Planning program at Oakland University.

Succinct Summation of Week’s Events 8.12.16

As promised, I'm keeping up this blog at least for the week-end report until my computer is back online.  This week I finally succeeded (after great effort)  in getting all the programs transferred to my laptop so that I could take my Dell desktop into the shop for upgrade/repair or replace, which I did on Thursday.  I would hope to get the verdict on upgrade or replaced tomorrow or Tuesday.  If it's an upgrade, I should be back in business by next weekend.  If it's replace, it'll be a bit longer.  Meanwhile, below is the succinct summary of the week's events as promised.  As a supplement, this week I've been following the market on a daily basis again and provide my own one-paragraph summation below as well in order to track the trends.  Hope everyone had a great weekend and I hope everything is back to normal by next weekend.  As soon as we are back to normal, I'll be able to resume sending only to subscribers again.  Thanks for your patience.

Succinct Summation of Week’s Events 8.5.16

Still having massive PC issues but at least I've figured out how to locate all my lost links through old fashioned google searches and at least retrieve the week-end summary so I can continue to supply at least that minimal service before I lose the audience I have carefully built during the last 19 months.  Until I figure this all out and can get back functionally online again, I will paste this week-end report to an email every Sunday so that every one can still be up on this blog once a week until the fix is in. Tomorrow I hope to get AOL to fix my browser and restore all my links and address books on my laptop.  Then I can finally get the desktop into the shop for repair or replace.  Hope everyone's had a great week and weekend,

Sorry ... signing off for a while

Sorry, I have to sign off for awhile.  My Dell, which has been giving me a lot of trouble for a couple years now, last night crashed out but good.  The last two weeks have been particularly as I have been intensifying my prep in getting it into the shop, though it's been crashing several times a day, until late last night, a reboot fixed it.  No longer.  Can't get it to do much of anything now.  Have to transfer my program over to my laptop and try to get the Dell fixed.  Or buy a new computer, I'll let my tech advise me on that.  But this blog and everything else must go on suspension now until further notice.
