Yeah so here I am at 2am posting something on the blog ,and pzzzzzzzzzzzzzzf the power goes out. I shall look at it later , but I am assuming that the power supply pooched.
Well, what the heck , got two more power supplys just sitting on the table , plus the P2 is just sitting there , buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, the original power supply has some sort of plug that goes in as one unit , on the mother board , as opposed to the other power supplys that have two little plastic units bout an inch long each that plug into the mobo’s that they came out of.
Meh
Hook up the P2 , that sucker is bullet proof, I have had it for over 4 years and it still soldiers on , but alas when turned on , the hard drive is pooched, grrrrrrr.
More coffee and found a hard drive just lying around from times gone by ,and plug it in , oh whats this little message saying the S.M.A.R.T drive thingie is gonna fail soon , please back up your data and wait for the computer rapture.
Well , anyway , only needed it for a couple of weeks at most , ignore pointed messages from the screen ,and try and load BSD , then a Suse live eval disk, then finally when all seemed lost , a slackware live disk.
Thank the lord , I was seriously looking at my xbox with a gleam in my eye.
Well, this day is over lol
and to think that I was writing a piece on coping , on the blog and what drives people to the bottle sometimes.
