It’s Christmas
Merry Christmas to everyone.
I’m not really sure what the above statement really means anymore, I’m sure you all have your own interpretations; and to anyone that does actually hold it as a significant religious festival, you have my utmost respect.
Anyway, my computer is now back up, thanks to exceedingly fast delivery of a new PSU, I’m not even sure what courier was responsible, but it was ordered on the evening of the 21st of December from OCUK, and it arrived today (24th). I don’t think I even paid for any special delivery options (except for the mysterious £15 “you live on an island, so we’re going to screw you” charge that all these places give).
Anyway, after it’s encounter with an unfortunate lightning strike, a new PSU, and it’s as happy as it ever was. I’m extremely lucky that the old PSU took the shock of the strike, and did it’s job, it could have been a very different story, it was not a cheap machine in the first place.
So useful tip for the day: don’t skrimp on the PSU.
Eye start aff wi gud gear; decent ledders, an’ heal underwear.
