Some nice cases there,SRS.

Anyway you can have mine... Think I've had enough already. I can't get the thing (AMD X2 6000 dual core, 2GB RAM, NVidia 8500 card - a bit of a step up for my usual) to start up. The blue light on the case flashes for maybe 1/2 second but that's it.

Ho hum... It's been fun the last few days.I had my first breakdown my end (we've been down before but not for crashes at home with the folkinfo server). Tried some online updates. Not sure whether my timing seeming to coincide with the Suse system crashing with hardware problems but wound I wound up with a system missing essential files.

Move folkinfo to shared hosting and try to bring my existing maintence plan forward (it was to get a machine I bought it Dec, in use as the new folkinfo server and I was to have a faster thing I hoped would be a bit faster for some things I wanted to try and the current server was to be set up as a then hopefully reliable spare server) and I wanted to get my new one running first as it would be a bit easier for me that way.

Forget video card yesterday in my order to set things moving for return to home hosting and for the new machine, so I start to build today. Now it's looking, until I get this resolved, I'll be using the the older and (now) suspect former server which was to be the spare web server for my personal use - I can live with the occasional crash for now on that.

Of course in the meanwhile as I set about the changes and another plan,I find I can't get into folkinfo on the 3rd party shared hosting services. It's just giving me blank pages - guess that now has to become the priority...

grrr...
