Who Is General Failure And Why Is He Reading My Hard Drive?

Friday, April 25th, 2008

So, Old Reliable, my 7 year old Tiny PC is being it’s usual reliable self. I can’t say I’ve ever seen a computer that breaks down so reliably (except maybe my mum’s).
First sign I had that something was wrong was when I was setting up for a little LAN party (GTA San Andreas with the SA:MP mod installed it awesome by the way) and one of my hard drives wasn’t showing up. Next time I went to turn the computer on, it lit up, whirred, coughed and died like a asthmatic sucking on an exhaust pipe.
I think the power supply is the problem but I don’t happen to have a compatible one lying around the house, which is unusual, because I seem to have every other computer part lying around my room.
Unfortunately, when power supplies fail, they have a nasty tendency to drag other components with them. If I buy a new power supply, I could find out I also need a new motherboard, processor and graphics card.
Fortunately, my drives are fine. I ordered a double hard drive caddy yesterday and installed it this afternoon. Luckily all my data is fine but I still can’t get into Windows XP…not that I’d want to

It’s been a while…

When I started this blog I promised myself I wouldn’t neglect it like I’ve done to all my other blogs before. Unfortunately I’ve let it get that way again and let everything else get in the way.

Since my last post, the 1.1.3 jailbreak has been released officially by the Dev Team and is working great. Apple have also pushed back the release date for the SDK to June although the beta has already been released. The Dev Team have also managed to crack the yet to be released 2.0 firmware for the iPhone.

Watch This Space,
