My power supply fan apparently decided to die yesterday, so now I'm nursing my computer along until I can get a new one. Right now I've got my case sprawled along the floor, with the power supply and a couple hard drives outside it. I've temporarily replaced the PS fan with another fan I had on hand, and I've got a 16" room fan blowing across the whole deal. I'll try to get a picture if I can hook up my webcam.

Eric Richardson lives in Atlanta, Georgia, where he works on payments infrastructure for Cash App.

Past lives involved streaming audio for Southern California Public Radio, running a hyperlocal news site for Downtown Los Angeles, working on custom mapping code, and writing Perl at the Jet Propulsion Labratory.
