Last night I spent time thinking.
If fact, most of the night I was thinking. Not much sleeping.
Our church had been given a new computer (OK, not quite new — but “new to us”). The library is to be the beneficiary. All fine and well. But the disk had been wiped clean. Windows needed to be installed. My learning curvewas more like a vertical wall than a slight slope.
I “side by sided” this computer with another of my own. I would switch back and forth parts to make sure all was running. In the midst of this both computers quite. That’s where I stood at close to midnight. Or should I say lay. I was in bed determined to sleep.
Worked for four hours. Then I was up for my usual devotional time with God. I laid it out to him — but still couldn’t sleep very well. At 6:30 I was up and moving again. By 8:00 I was off to a ministerial meeting with a diagnostic in my head. Had to be the power supply or the motherboard.
I picked up another power supply — that wasn’t it! But in playing I found that a hard drive I was using to do my testng seemed to have a short in it — or perhaps it was drawing too much power trying to turn the drive. I dispensed with that drive and soon things were running.
Now it is almost 9:00 in the evening. Both computers are running. I trust my midnight sleep tonight will be a little more restful!!
