Tia was working at the computer, getting a new online photography portfolio together (at this writing, there were still problems with an old section we were revamping; it’s redirecting to a finished “Fine Art Photography” section). Mago, wanting his mother’s attentions and affections, began banging hard with a magnifying glass on the computer case which is inconveniently on the floor. Tia said: “Mago, don’t be mean to the computer!” and he replied “No mommy, I want to be mean.” and banged harder. Out went the computer. The power supply is apparently dead. Or something else. It’s fortunate Tia had the new part of her portfolio uploaded to our site before this. I’m typing this entry after work from my work.
[Update 01-20] The computer seems fine – either the power cable was loose, or – I think the motherboard has a detector that auto-shuts-off past a disturbance threshold. Disconnected and then reconnected to power, it’s booting and running normally.
