I hate computers (mail down)
Jan. 20th, 2008 01:27 pmSo a cool change came into Melbourne recently, and this weekend it's been raining (drizzling) a fair bit.
And for no apparent reason, the computer that handles my email, websites, etc has just decided that life is no-longer worth living, and is refusing to play. (Apps segfault and the kernel panics, within a few minutes of booting it up). THis was.. rather sudden. And there's been nothing to cause it - no extreme heat, no sudden knocks, no hardware or software changes.. I literally hadn't touched it for two weeks prior to it dying last night.
This is very irritating.
And the upshot of this, is my email will be out of action until I fix it - so use my gmail address instead please.
[Edit: Bizarrely, memtest86 has by now almost run through an entire test pass without any failures.. removing my first suspect, ie. bad ram. Next guess - CPU??]
