The heatsink and fan have been cleaned and the new thermal paste is in place.
She's up and running.

Might I say that Arctic Alumina was a lovely thermal paste to work with, also that for the first time EVER those darn clips for the heatsink worked right on the first try. *faints*

I hope the server behaves better.

Have fun out there folks!!

I have a transformer fire in my parking lot so I am going to take the server down for awhile.

Yikes! That explains the sudden disconnect. (I was actually on the box when I lost my connection to it. Heh)

Be safe, and I hope the fire is contained quickly.

I hope nobody was in game. Man, this thing is cooking out in the lot. Looks like something from Dr Frankenstein's lab. Still waiting for them to turn off the juice.

So far it's just one car and our garbage dumpster in danger.
Sorry to pull the plug so fast, but I was afraid that my surge protector would get overwhelmed.

We had a handful of people on, but no worries. Good call.

We've a backup host for situations like this. I'm bringing BG up on it until your situation is resolved. Poke me in IRC or via PMs before you bring BG back up.

Also, pics. Hope things go well there.

EDIT: And, Temp BG is back up at bg.alandfaraway.org (use 75.140.152.56 if that doesn't work for you). Anything that relied on the campaign database will not function quite yet (which might just be p-storage).

I'll post pictures tomorrow when I am awake enough. This is wild.

I'm glad you've got the backup host!

Server should be online again as soon as my internet comes back up. I have electricity.

The box is back up and running. :-)

I'll try to remember to get some closeups of the damage later on today. That's one thoroughly welded dumpster in serious need of replacing. The asphalt under it is rather well buckled too and there's one slightly melted car. Alas, the camera in my phone wasn't great at dealing with the welding arc brightness of the wire so the pictures aren't great. My balcony is about 50 yards from where the line went down.

Hey there everyone,
The new power supply for the server arrived ahead of schedule and since I'm not seeing anyone in game at the moment I'm going to go ahead and install it now. BG should be back up and running within the hour.

The new power supply has been installed.
The old one was 8 years old and was making all sorts of noise.
Ahhh ... blessed silence.

The server should be online again in a few.
Please sing out if there are any problems.

Have fun out there!

ADL is being difficult at the moment; I'm working on kicking it back into shape.

ADL is fixed; sorry for the downtime.

Players should expect ~5 mb of downloads the next time they play on BG.



As shad0wfax is in epic battle with work stuff this month, and buying groceries is just the best, I get to post that BG gets a fun new static quest (the longest one in ALFA-- I don't suggest trying to complete it in one sitting), a new area (a labyrinth full of traps and monsters-- individual brushups are CR 1, but as a whole I'd call it CR 2-3), some necessary groundwork to make infestations work in practice, and a handful of fixes (some quest NPCs didn't spawn if you walked up to them too quickly; bad walkmesh and line of sight in the centipedes quest area; Ssilintarsk's orc chain no longer requires any special standing in the Ruqel community to start), and a jobs board sits outside of the Angel Feather which contains postings from the region and also gives some sense of what you have to do to flag these cool long quests BG is acquiring.
