Over the last couple of days, I've noticed the distinct smell of burning electronics whenever I entered my office from another room in the house. It was strong enough to make me take notice but not so strong that I went searching for the source of the smell. Well, this morning, I discovered the source. When I came into my office this morning I noticed that the power light on the computer that I use as my web server was flashing and that the computer was pretty much otherwise dead.
When I tried cycling the power little wisps of white smoke started to float out of the back of the power supply. That's usually a pretty good sign that you have a dead power supply. The three of you that read my blog regularly may have noticed that it was out of commission all of this mornning. I stopped by Staples on my way home for lunch, picked up a new power supply and now my blog is operational once more.
