boring computer stuff
20 years ago
Decided to do computer maintainance at 4 in the morning.
I removed some old cards from my older computer and upped its ram to two gigs. Also fixed a few other problems with it, including fixing the PS2 port. Chipset fan is seized (again) but I don't have a spare so whatever, it can wait. I plan on upgrading the cpu sometime anyway, so I can replace the chipset fan then.
My newer system was just really dusty (and it's not long since the last time I cleaned it.) It has such a beautiful case, but it's thermal design is a little weak.
Got the apollos reassembled the other day. I plan on getting rid of them, as they are more useful as spaceheaters. They look cool, but offer me no advantages over todays technology. Hopefully, I can use the space for newer equipment.
I've been tinkering with an older, microATX duron, but it is a little unstable. It isn't critical right now, though, but I'll keep it around as a redundant backup.
Networking wise, things are working well. Still haven't got around to setting up a DNS yet, but for 9 computers, it doesn't make much sense (I wanna do it anyway). More importantly, my friend is going to host one of my servers off of his (better) connection, so getting that set up and comming up with content takes precedence.
