| There was a time when I sought to leave this world and for a while I did,
fleeing the poisonous rune it made of my life...
...but the power of this world has pulled me back in. The evil, the poison with-in shall not
be quickly cured. |

Wasted Weekend
Greetings,
What a disappointing weekend. It was looking so good and it finally hit rock bottom.
Friday, I was able to pickup at Proliant 3000 server and a HP NetServer LH3 from a local PC strap yard. That in and of itself was an adventure I could spin many stores from.
I was pressed for time and had to dig threw several piles of a huge warehouse of nothing but PC, Monitors, printer and every other discarded piece of electronic equipment you could think of. Any, I ended up with these two great pieces of hardware - RAM, Raid Controller, Memory, etc!!
Unfortunately my dream server, the P3000 had no power supplies. How could I miss that!! The LC3 was only a PII. I managed to scrape enough stuff the the P3000 to upgrade the LC3 to a PIII 550Mhz. Not back for all the other goodies it has in it. After spending all weekend installing SCSI drives and reloading Windows several times, I could not get it to run reliable. Random lockups and the video started freaking out.
Here just minutes away from a new year, I gave up. Removed the parts needed to keep An Nox alive and put them back into the old PC.
It's back on-line, so HAPPY NEW YEAR!! I hope I didn't loose to many of you that were hoping to play this weekend. I promise I won't touch it any more for awhile.
