Got My Life Back?

 Well, I got my PC back and thank goodness I read enough to try and rescue my server which was showing red lights everywhere and no data!!!  There's 9 TB of data on there and so it was with some relief that the PC arrived with new PSU and it sounds good I have to say, tight like a new;y serviced car.  The server showed no signs of waking up and so I tried a few reboots, light twinkles and so on but no, it wouldn't have it :-) 

I remembered that the last time this happened I updated the firmware and whilst it would do it itself I manually updated it and there it was all lit up green and healthy however too late to cancel the recovery system I'd bought for it!  Not to worry though.  Arriving tomorrow are UPS sets, two more servers and I'll be able to back up the data properly once again.

I suppose I need to look at getting a new PC too.  I think I have seen one that I like but, of course, new stuff isn't compatible with my lovely old screens and so on!  

Our MPs have seen it necessary to pass the Assisted Dying Act and I think that perhaps this really needed more time and more discussion than it had.  You probably won't get your life back.  It's a difficult thing and MPs are our last line of protection but I don't think that they've done justice to this at all.  In some ways I think that we should have the discussion and review it but surely one day in Parliament is insufficient time and as most of them seem to need someone to help them get dressed and go to the toilet they may not be the right people to actually debate this sort of thing. 

I;m not certain it is the right step forward at all.  I felt that my Father's death was perhaps a good thing, he'd had enough and he wasn't going to get better but I wondered whether a better approach and good palliative care would have been a better way for him rather than in a ward in a Hospital, a Hospice would in my mind have been kinder.  No one wants to suffer and the whole thing including the family and safeguarding need to be applied.  Again, these days, our medical professionals seem to be super drug dealers than practitioners and so I wonder how it will materialise and work out in practice?  It's a big subject and I truly think they should have had more time to consider it and to consult properly.  I very much doubt that the whole picture was presented to everyone who voted.
