Start Again

Even thought it rained much of yesterday, by 3:30 PM a couple of the guys were able to get off the ground and get a group out of one of the Waorani villages. Today the weather was much better, and all the flying got done that needed to be done.

I fought a problem with my linux server, where it would spontaneously re-boot every once in a while. By the middle of the afternoon, I remembered a similar problem with the Windows 2000 server that happened a while back. After thinking about it for a while, I decided the problem was likely the power supply. The power supply tested OK with the volt meter, but I changed it anyway. I also went up into the attic and found the old power supply from the Windows server. I had changed it exactly a year ago, and it too tested OK, but when I replaced it, the machine stopped re-booting on it's own. The linux server has yet to re-boot today after I replaced the power supply.
