Well, I was working on my Linux testing server, and it stopped working for some reason... I tried to restart, but the computer wouldn't even boot (even from a CD). Upon unplugging all the IDE devices, and only leaving a CD drive in (a different one, in case it was faulty for whatever reason), it still wouldn't boot 😦. I guess I won't be using that for a while...

Anyways, I'm buying a new server on eBay, so it isn't that bad (all I need to do is wait for it to get shipped to me).

Old server:

• Celeron 300 MHz
• 4.3GB Quantum Fireball lct and 4.3GB Seagate hard drives
• 48X CD-ROM drive
• 192MB membory

New server:

• Pentium III 650 MHz
• 8.4 GB hard drive
• 48X CD-ROM drive
• 256MB membory

Don't say that it isn't that powerful... Linux makes any computer look powerful 😄. Besides, it's only a server for testing stuff.

EDIT: Computer arrived today, 30th June 2006. That company on eBay was quick!

Well, it's the holidays again, so I'm back doing my ICT Fellowship. I'm currently doing work in Microsoft Access, and also creating icons in a program called 'Easy Icon Maker'.

Speaking of Access, I encountered a weird error... I was drafting some Visual Basic code, and needed to look up something in the help file (as I was using Access, which I don't have much experience in). I got this error:

Interestingly enough, I clicked the 'Help' button, and got this:

A bug, maybe? After all, the help article opened in the 'Windows Help Application', yet the article was saying that the application wasn't installed! 😛
