Yet More Server Problems

After replacing what was certainly bad RAM on my server, it has crashed again. I don’t know why. I’m begining to suspect the motherboard again. The system is not very robust.
So: does anyone have reliability recommendations for motherboard manufacturers? Can’t be Intel (unless the sell boards for AMD chips!)

Dive Pictures Posted

I have finally posted the dive pictures from our dive trip to Curaçao. I haven’t gotten around to publishing the land pictures yet, but will soon. After all – what’s a vacation/holiday for if not to work on things you don’t normally have time to work on?

Merry Christmas!

I hope you are all enjoying your Christmas holiday today! I know I am. Don’t gorge yourselves!

Unlike last year’s run which [...]

Photo Processing

I’ve gotten most of the underwater photos processed and will be posting them soon. I had to delete quite a few pictures and even most that I post will likely only be to show what we did or saw instead of to showcase any excellent photo.
We might be selling our S80 on eBay. If you [...]
