It&#8217;s been doing that for a while now, but it seems to be a bit more serious about it this time &#8211; to the point where I&#8217;m never sure, from one day to the next, whether it will even boot up, or &#8211; if it does &#8211; how long it will function for before the eventual crash. Some days it works like a swiss watch, and other days it&#8217;s a sundial at night in a dark, sealed, cavern.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s my impression that I have two independant hardware problems: one that functions when the machine is too hot (CPU overheating, or maybe it&#8217;s the 3D graphics card) and one that functions when the primary disk drive is too cold (won&#8217;t read from the hard disk). Annoyingly, of course, it&#8217;s the newest drive that&#8217;s causing all the trouble &#8211; my old IDE drives just keep ticking over.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, my present financial position will make it difficult to get replacement parts until February or March at the earliest, as I have to commit funds to some minor surgery early in 2014. So I have to struggle on with the failing equipment.<\/p>\n<p>If, perchance, no article gets posted here on time or at all over the next few weeks, that&#8217;s the reason.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A quick note explaining why I may fail to post the usual Campaign Mastery article on schedule (or at all) over the next few weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[63,74],"tags":[],"series":[],"class_list":["post-7756","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog-admin","category-mike"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1toiD-216","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.campaignmastery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7756"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.campaignmastery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.campaignmastery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.campaignmastery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.campaignmastery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7756"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.campaignmastery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7756\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7758,"href":"https:\/\/www.campaignmastery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7756\/revisions\/7758"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.campaignmastery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7756"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.campaignmastery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7756"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.campaignmastery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7756"},{"taxonomy":"series","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.campaignmastery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/series?post=7756"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
