Maybe Andy will allow the log-on and cache problem to be solved. Maybe he will not. But at least me opening the possibility of it being solved is a step in the right direction. It will take expertise and/or money to be solved.
Regardless, I am in the midst of helping solve other people's problems off-wiki and creating new possibilities for other people. That will require focus and self-discipline so I am not following politics - except for voting straight Republican.
Sometimes you have to make sacrifices. Here is a true story: A woman said to a concert pianist, "I would give my life to play like that." The concert pianist replied to her, "I did."
Here is a quote on my user page that reflects my current situation and focus:
"Champions are famous for concentrating their energy and efforts on what they want and blocking out anything or anyone who threatens that focus. While average people haphazardly pursue loosely defined goals, champions concentrate on the attainment of a singular purpose with an intensity that borders on obsession. World-class performers invest an inordinate amount of time and energy in selecting their major goals. While the masses consider making changes every New Year’s Eve, the goal setting and planning process is an everyday habit of champions. When the goals are set, champions put mental blinders on and move forward with dogged persistence and ferocious tenacity. World-class performers create such an intense level of concentration to overcome challenges and achieve goals that it is the last thing they think about before they fall asleep, and the first thing that hits them when they wake up. The great ones dream about their goals so frequently that they often keep pen and paper on the nightstand so they can quickly record any ideas or solutions that come to them in the middle of the night. While average people see world - class performers’ successes as a matter of intelligence or luck, champions know sustained concentration of thought and action is usually the true key to their success." - Steve Siebold, ''177 Mental Toughness Secrets of the World Class.''
