A Bad Day
June 8, 2006 on 7:28 pm | In Main |I had a good day at work today, but things weren’t so good when I got home.
The storm we had last night threw plenty of leaves and dirt into the pool. That wouldn’t have been so bad, except the vacuum cleaner hose came loose. And to top off all the muck in the pool, I now have a fair amount of algae to deal with. I took Sean and Ethan into the pool just long enough to clean most of the muck out, then came in to shower everyone off. Sean wasn’t too happy he couldn’t swim longer.
The second problem is that my media server computer has died. It has some odd symptoms. When I turn on the computer, the hard light comes on, one of the two optical drive lights comes on, and the power light stays off. The computer doesn’t boot to the post codes, so I can’t tell what is wrong with it.
I thought the computer problem might be the power supply, so I cleaned all the dust out of the insides, reseated all the connectors, and finally changed the power supply. But, no deal. The same symptoms as before. I am now guessing that the motherboard is dead.
I built that computer five years ago, and it still served well as a media server after I built my latest computer. The problem is that the computer has all of my music files. If I had more time, I would transfer the hard drives to my computer or Cortney’s computer, but that isn’t going to happen tonight.
