Power supply seppuku...
Jun. 28th, 2004 02:24 pmI was wondering why onegin was silent when I dropped off my junk last night in my office, and assumed it was the result of a too-long power outage (i.e., one that exceeded the ability of the UPS to deliver UP). I was wrong.
The power supply is well and truly fried, the victim of a fossilized cooling fan.
I may go online later today to try to whack some of the weeds that have sprouted in my account (approximately 2000 messages, of which 99.9% are likely spam), but that's later. As of a few minutes ago, I've got a replacement power supply on order (together with a new CPU fan, since the one in the box is overly encrusted with crud) and the package ought to arrive in a couple of days.
Cheers...
