We had a shortage of sun today. But, I needed a day off from glorious weather.
Today’s non-fun was provided by the heretofore faithful Airness. I turned it on about mid-day and it started fussing that the computer date was earlier than the actual date. And all sorts of processes that I didn’t recognize started whining about lack of access to this or that. And when I tried to get to the internet Safari and Firefox both fussed about “certificate” problems.
Now, if this were a PC – I’d suspect a virus. But, hey this is a Mac. Macs “just work”. This was not “just working”. And, I don’t have a clue where to start trying to get the bad boy going again. Ok. Manually set the date and time. Turn off the wireless. Power down and make coffee. Drink coffee. Restart. Well, that stopped all the fussing. A little research and I discover that some evil power screwed up a bunch of the file permissions. I pushed the “fix-em” button and everything seems to be better. But, I am not a happy person since I haven’t a clue as to what happened.
