» Blown capacitors are the root of all evil

Monday, July 14th, 2008

Some of you may have noticed random server outages in the past few days.  Initially I thought it might be due to demons inhabiting the hard drive, but exorcisms did nothing to avail the situation.  We also tried crystal healing, adjusting its aura, chanting, and feng shui (never point your outlet toward a door or window - actually this is always good advice).  In desperation we even tried rubbing luke warm rhinoceros semen onto the monitor (I have heard this helps occasionally).  No good.

It turns out a capacitor was blown on the motherboard and the brilliant technicians migrated us to a new server.  Hey presto!  Everything is working again.
