With a bang, not a whimper

My primary computer had its power supply exploded last Wednesday, naturally just before we left for a trip. It made quite a loud bang — I thought something had fallen over and crashed. At first I was an incoherent babbling mess because I thought the disk drive had failed and taken all of my not properly backed up pictures with it (about 6 months worth). Fortunately, the disk was fine and I popped it in an external housing temporarily to copy off the pictures. Hopefully a new power supply will be arriving very shortly. But it’s not worth the effort to set up for photo editing on my backup computer for just a couple days so pictures will be sparse this week.
