About five minutes ago I asked Ben to turn on our server (yes we have our own personal server, I am after all married to a software engineer). Being the nice husband that he is, he turned it on for me at which point we both heard a very loud pop! He also some some sparks fly out the back and when I turned around the computer had smoke pouring out of it. Bummer! Luckily, we have decent back ups and he thinks the hard drives in it are probably okay. Still, it is kind of crazy to watch a computer with smoke pouring out. I guess it means that he is going to get to pick out a new server or build his own server finally!

Oh and I am very, very glad he was home when it happened…. not sure what I would have done if he hadn’t been!
