Default Well, interesting week...

1 - Computer caught fire.

2 - Office smoke damage.

3 - Repair office.

4 - Purchase new computer - this time I'm building my own.

5 - Purchase portable computer to use until new computer
arrives.

6 - Use Google groups temporarily - which, by the way,
sucks.

So how's everything been? :)

Miss me?

You gotta learn to put those cigars completely out.

Not a cigar - believe it or not, the power supply must have had
a thermal runaway or something similar.

It was more messy than dangerous, but the office filled up with
smoke - needed a new desk, had to have everything cleaned,
etc.

Interesting experience.

You need to cut back on those hot chats.


Hot chats?

Not likely. :)

That sucks! Some here will blame it on bad karma. ;-)

Was it the power supply catching fire?

I guess - that's what the Fire Marshall said. Kind of a thermal
runaway.

That sucks. Laptop or tower?
I leave my laptop on 24/7 and have often thought that maybe that's not a
good idea.

Glad it wasn't more serious.
