I read somewhere that we are created in God’s image. And one of the gifts bestowed upon us is that deep inside every man and woman is a special space “I am that I am”. A gift from I AM.
Here’s a song to ponder on that one.

2 Power Supplies in 2 days
Power supply arrived on Thursday, but didn’t have time to install it until today. Tech Harbor is back online.
I don’t know what happened, but perhaps there is a scientific explanation
Another Server
This morning I was upgrading my web server to F16. It came time to reboot, and now it won’t boot. Powers up, though. I went an bought a PSU tester, seems I will need one, now that I’m back to being a HW guy. I’ll guess PSU, CPU, or Motherboard is the issue. For the first time in years, www.techharbor.com is DOWN
What happened to bring this computer misery on me?
It lives
I bought a Dell 1600SC server back in 2001. It helped me learn DHCP and DNS. I learned about server hardware as I upgraded through the years. As I moved to open source software for my workstations and servers, it was the only the only Windows software I had, and its main job was to run Symantec EndPoint for the virtual PCs I used in working with corporate clients.
Except two days ago, the server crashed. I was quickly reminded how dependent on having a local DNS server I had become. I wasn’t sure if it was the Power Supply or the System board, but things looked bleak.
Be Strong and Courageous. So, I ordered a used PSU off of e-bay, since it was the cheapest T/S route. Yep. I had to hack at W2K3 to restore the Windows installation, and I don’t want to tell you how long that took, but tonight, She’s back runnin’. Praise the Lord, remind me to make DNS redundant in my network.
