Well, my main computer is in pieces at the moment
June 26, 2002 by Adam in Adam's Projects
Well, my main computer is in pieces at the moment. I've been having weird problems - reboots and strange error messages. The solution presented itself when I popped open the case and shocked myself on the metal chassis. It turns out the outlet I was using wasn't grounded. I also suspected the power supply of being flaky.
So, to remedy both, I've purchased a new power supply and had a new outlet put it. Hopefully that'll take care of it all, though I'm forced to use the Tinboy computer until the new power supply arrives. Sigh.

I slapped in my new video card in the new computer. It took me awhile, as it had to be positioned quite carefully in the AGP slot. If it was screwed in, it popped out the back and stopped working. So, after a little finessing, I now have GeForce3 class video cards in my main and backup gaming computers. Sam and I need to test it out this weekend.

Well, tinboy

Well, tinboy.com is up and running again. I'm not really doing much with it yet. I've made a duplicate of this site in case this server is hit by an asterioid or something crazy. I even set up a little routine where I can copy everything from this server to the one in my closet.
My GeForce 3 card arrived a couple days ago. I've got to throw it into the new computer sometime this weekend. That'll turn it into quite the gaming PC as well, almost as good as my main computer. Well, that'll keep Sam and I busy for the next year or two.

Over the weekend, I put together a new computer, moved the DSL connection over to it, and moved the black computer upstairs. The amazing thing is that it all went smoothly, with virtually no problems at all. I must be getting good at this sort of thing.
