Got up at 11… noticed my computer keeps crashing. Cool deal. NOT. Tried to fiddle with BIOS settings. No go. More fiddling. Seems to be a little bit stable. I think. The thing ran for years with the previous ones though… I think the kingston RAM modules can’t keep up with 133MHz anymore :s (they’re PC100 but have been running at 133 just fine for a long time.. 149 ran stable as well while overclocking :)) I’ll do more testing tomorrow.
Replaced my Dart PC-TV-Live with a Hauppauge WinTV Go, to see if I could get TV under Linux with it… The PC-TV-Live was detected but shows no channels, and Hauppauge’s thingies [b]should[/b] be well-supported. But no. Hauppauge seems to have decided to ship new cards with a different chipset which is not supported under Linux (yet). Capturing works, but no VBI, which seems to mean xawtv won’t work :s Might fiddle with it more.. who knows.
After that, lunch, which comes always surprisingly short after waking up 🙂
Neighbours came over for their yearly a-little-after-newyear visit. Been there a while, then it was time to eat again…. After that I finally went to fix the printers that ALL decided to stop printing at the beginning of this week (they’re all HP, is this a scam?). I put one of them directly on the pc (there’s a jetdirect printserver in between), software diagnostics said B/W cartridge is at 0%… Oh, nice, but does that mean it won’t print anything? I’m not sure cause I don’t have a replacement at this moment. Also, why wasn’t the “(almost) empty” light blinking then? In the other I found after trying out things that replacing the color cartridge with another one seems to have fixed it. WTF? 😐
In the end, I haven’t done anything today yet (PC kept crashing which wasn’t very productive), and the day is just about over. How nice!
[b]Update 21:08[/b]: My screen session on tequila just crashed after several 100 days of uptime. Oh great.
[b]Update 00:31[/b]: Got back to my computer to find out half of my websites wasn’t working anymore. Somehow apache filled up /tmp and now refused to work. OH GREAT. 🙁
