Progress? Report

Well, i thought we had things in hand - yesterday things seemed all good with the main system. It ran fine all day while setting various drivers and watching movies and such.
And then this morning i tried to prep pages for a post. System died within 10 minutes.
And now it's looking like the motherboard 
may be the most likely culprit.

Man, i miss those days when i used to keep a render farm running.

There are two more components slated to arrive in the next day or so, and a potential replacement system, after i get that new desk into place. So, hopefully we'll be back to operational status by the end of the week - one way or another.

Meanwhile, we need an image!

Last night was the anniversary of John Lennon's murder. So, here's a painting that i posted once before, but somewhat larger this time. Still greatly reduced from the 6000x9000 original, but at least anyone interested has a better shot at sorting out the quotes at this size. You can even kind of make out my signature, if you really want to waste your time...

(That pattern in the background on the left is actually the titles to the songs he wrote)

Dear John by -3- (201? I'd have to hunt. somewhere between 2011-14, i think)
