Not the one that contains lightly toasted dead people.
The joyful type that is wall mounted and boils water

That's what I was afraid of. We only have that one kind commonly here.

Talk about can't afford to die.

Just went out to the kitchen to get some water and heard something so I flipped on the light. First I see a cockroach run for it, eww. And then I realized that there was a hedgehog running around the kitchen.

Did you crush the roach?
How did the hedgehog get in?

Had a day off so catching up on what i'm doing

Ok after doing some troubleshooting last night.

So, I think, this is what happened. My top video card, I have a crossfire setup, was overheating it idles around 100 degrees Celsius. The heat leached into the PCI-E slot or the board somehow and damaged the connection. The second card, the one the bottom with really good air flow, was perfectly fine idling ~40-60C, a bit too warm but I haven't reapplied the thermal paste since I bought them five years ago. So I'm running off of one video card now....

To top it all off this is an LGA 1366 socket with an X58 chipset motherboard. Boards that are no longer manufactured... so I'm stuck spending retail for used boards or upgrading my CPU, RAM, and motherboard to something newer.... probably wouldn't be a totally bad thing... just not in the cards right now.

Upgrade to a RoG G752 you'll be very impressed.

Still trying to wake up. Today is all about writing marketing material for Vendors.

I'm playing with ShareX ... Somebody posted it, and I think I've just found a Greenshot replacement... The irony is that ShareX actually uses the Greenshot Image editor, lol!

I'm supposed to be doing the Australian Census tonight but the website got magically DDoS'd by millions of Australians all attempting to give it a go online... on designated census night.

Yeah, the Australian Bureau of Statistics just got schooled in capacity planning.

Looks like I'll be doing the paper version.

I'll have to play with that some.

Step one ... getting it to load automatically.

What's the problem with having literally everyone in Australia log in to one website simultaneously?
