First casualty...

The first problem to crop up after yesterday's Great Thursday Startup Massacre™ is, thankfully, not the reappearance of the problems with Windows 8 that made my machine unusable to the point of having to repeatedly perform hard shutdowns throughout most of the day, but an inability to print documents via the TRENDnet device that's hanging off the network.

I suspect one of the startup programs I disabled yesterday is required by TRENDnet to print, but realistically, I do not have the time to troubleshoot the issue, so I've temporarily moved the printer and physically attached it to my machine via USB. That'll have to do for now.

What kind of day has it been?

Aside from the printing glitch earlier in the day, my work machine has been working the way it should, and although I've not put a timer in play, I get the definite impression that things are happening faster, too. What a relief!

In general, I made good progress in all areas today. I hope to continue this trend over the weekend.
