I get home, and the monitor on my Linux system is wigging out. This is
not good, as this is the third monitor on the system since
2009.
Also, the computer is quite loud, louder than normal, which means, it's
hotter than normal, which isn't good. I never did find out what was
constantly running, but I did isolate the issue with the monitor—it's not
the monitor. That's the good news. It's the video card.
Lovely! I cooked the video card to death!
Sigh.
And in the process of troubleshooting all this, the shelf the computer
was sitting on (attached to the computer desk) broke. Or rather, the caster
beneath the shelf wrenched itself free, causing the shelf to collapse under
the weight of the computer.
Double sigh.
At least the computer itself is fine. The shelf is in the process of
being repaired (should be done by tomorrow) but the replacement video card
won't get here for another week or so.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
