Well, once again I've had to pull my life from the fire... quite literaly.
A while back, my server blew up... I found it'd shut itself down so I turned it back on and the PSU started burning. Since then its been one thing after another, the next day my connection started getting as jumpy as a flea in a raid factory.
I replaced the PSU, and found the motherboard was dead. I replaced that, and found the RAM was dead too... replaced that, and windows wouldnt boot so repaired that, then spent a few days trying to figure out why my networked drives wouldnt work. Tracked that down to an oversight on my part concerning my firewall. Anyways, its finaly back up for all the good it does... cant serve anything with a connection thats down so often.
I've been wondering if its down to my ISP, 'cos I get a lot of "PPP Server down" messages, or it just stalls at "PPP sync", or if its just down to the phonelines and exchange... there's been a fleet of Brittish Telecom vans scuttling about latley.
Had a job interview recently as well for, of all the irony.. data recovery.
I didnt get it anyways... got the letter last Thursday.
Current Mood : Life? Dont talk to me about life..

Quote of the day : When this baby hits 88 miles per hour.... we're gonna see some serious shit.
