This server was down for approximately 14 hours today, from 7:45 am to 9:45 pm.
The power supply just rolled over and died. I got a new one after work and
installed it as soon as I got home. Apologies all around.
Of course, the power supply only died because I’d removed its fan about a year ago. (It was too loud.) I don’t know if there’s some organization like PETA for preventing cruelty to computer parts…but if there is, man, I’m toast.
In other news, I’m going to see Susan next week! We haven’t seen each other since New Years, so I’m excited…
Updated: …excited enough that instead of doing work, I did this instead! (And yes, I’m a big fat nerd.)
Funny that just today my computer’s fan was really annoying me as I was trying to read. I don’t have Ryan’s surgical talents so I just lulled it to sleep instead.
As for Ryan’s countdown meter…how cute is that! Although the photos are a bit funny since someone (I think me) apparently went overboard on the red-eye corrections! I swear I don’t usually look possessed :P
Happy Easter everyone…
Susan
I spoke with Ryan last night and he did indeed mention that he was excited to Susan [hi Susan :-)]…however, what he did not explain was why exactly his power supply died….For all of our safety please do not make too much noise within earshot of Ryan or else he might try to remove some of your vital parts :-P
