Boxes

Posted at 5:57 pm MDT to Miscellaneous

The rest of the server parts arrived about 3:30pm today. Everything arrived apparently intact, though I had to search through the packing peanuts in one large box for a while to find the tube of silver heat-transfer gunk. The tube is about 2 inches long and a third of an inch in diameter and was not attached to a card or anything that would make it easier to find.

Schedule for this evening: make the squash pie, and finish the admin mode of the CustomerPortal so that I can hand it off to the users for review. If I get started assembling the server before the pie and software are done, I'll never finish them. (Maybe I'll just pull out the manuals for the case and motherboard .... No. No, that is the thin edge of the wedge.)

I need to dig out my list of electrical problems and upgrades for the house, too. The electrical contractor is coming over tomorrow to give me a bid on changing out the breaker box for something up to current specs. There are a few quirks in the wiring that should probably be addressed at the same time the box is upgraded.
