RIP Visar

Of course, what I neglected to mention earlier was the death of Visar, my Linux box under the sink. I got home to find no Internet connection and a strange silence in the kitchen. My initial diagnosis is a dead PSU, but it could be the motherboard, Hopefully I can borrow a spare power supply from work tomorrow to test my theory and get things up and running again. For the time being, the ADSL modem is hooked up to Zorac the Windows XP box, and I even have the internet connection sharing working for the benefit of (no-name) the iBook, but it's far from an ideal long-term solution - plus there's all sorts of stuff on Visar's disks that I want to retrieve.

Anyway, time to stop spamming my friendspage and go to bed. OK, so I ended up not posting until this morning, due to LJ being DDoSed. Meh.
