At our age I don't think either of us blushes easily.

Today was a good news/bad news day.

The good news was I got the rest of the garden planted last night, pumpkins and squash. We could use some rain now. It was supposed to rain today, but all we got was a sprinkle. Pretty sure I will be doing a lot of watering.

The bad news was we had a power outage today. Not sure where it was but I checked with the neighbors and they were out also. It took a couple of hours to come back. I have nothing on any backup power, so everything was down for a bit. I was not worried about the computers, but I still have heat lamps on the baby chicks. The saving grace was it was in the upper 70's this afternoon, so they weathered the outage well.

I acquired a Thinkpad 600E at a garage sale for $5.00. The guy said he could not get it to work, but I thought I would have a go at it. Even if I never get it to work, the HD is worth the $5.00. I have not had a lot of time to fool with it, but I did find out it either boots continuously or it BSOD's. Should be interesting.

Crunch on!!!

Cheers

288 megs memory ???????

I messed with it a little last night. I took out the HD (4g) and I was able to access and read it perfectly, so that is not the problem. I will reseat everything and have another go at it later. I almost suspect a bad mainboard, but who knows.

Thanks for the offer on the memory. I'll let you know.

Cheers

288 meg. Who knew ??? That just seems to be such a different number. 2(2^7)+(2^5). That appears to be the one I have. The only difference I see is the HD in the one I have is 4gb, not 10. I will check the model number later. Processor is right - mobile PII.

Thanks

Cheers

Most of the time computers are really fun, even though they may have frustrating problems. However, they require electricity to make them run. I tend to take electricity for granted most of the time.EXCEPT WHEN IT IS NOT THERE. Power outage today at work. Not just a power outage, but the wavering, flickering , then boom out of power, then 5 seconds later power returns. Had to reset a number of machines, even those on UPS. The current must have done something weird because even those had problems. Only completely lost one, but fried a 16 port board in another electronic device. It could have been a lot worse. I am thankful the power here is so dependable we do take it for granted.

I'm having problems (ekspämpple last night 23:45) with cooling system..
Building is ancient, so National Board of Antiquities will not aloud any propellers attached to outer core of building.

All cooling power is imported via water tubes..
Flow on those tubes is not so flawless and it seems to create alarm from server room. It's quite crappy because temperature is not problem, alertski seem to be caused if flow of cooling water is cut down, even without there would be any raise on temperature.

These seems to always happen on night time and are very short on time scale, so temperature does not actually raise practically at all.
Never the less, I need to go and clear alarm from server room.
