thewayneI had this long post about how my desktop Win XP Pro machine in Cloudcroft toasted its power supply.
It was really boring.
Or I'm in a very bored mood.
I'm not certain which.
SO. Long story short. A big power transformer that supplies Cloudcroft blew up and the house was without power for pretty much 24 hours. Friday night I learned my computer was dead, probably the power supply. We replaced the power supply. The computer seems to boot normally, but I didn't feel like reconnecting all of the crap to check it out, so I'm not certain if anything else is fried or if the drives are intact. My core data: documents, game development stuff, music, has been copied to both my ThinkPad and my Mac. My only loss if the drives are fried would be the digital photos that I've shot in the last yearish. If they're gone, they're gone, and I'm not going to cry over it.
I'll reconnect everything next weekend. And it will work. Or it won't work. If you see the Buddha on the road, kill him.
