PolyVector found this little guy resting in our Japanese eggplant.

Update: PolyVector got some new daytime shots of our toad (finally took the time to look it up, he is indeed a toad).

Yet Another iMac Down for the Count

I dunno what is going on this month, it must be the heat. Turns out last night MegaNice9’s iMac G5 (iSight) turned itself off as she was preparing for bed and was unable to turn it back on. I have been searching for solutions she could try before having to schedule an appointment with an Apple Genius.

I told her for the next 24 hours let her iMac sit unplugged from all USB and power sources and see if it is just some kind of static build up. I know the solution sounds stupid, but I have had weirder things fix non-botting computers.

If anyone would like to chime in with some pearls of wisdom, we are all ears. I will be searching around the Macosphere. Apple’s troubleshooting page for PPC iMacs was no help.

Update: I made an appointment with the Apple Store in Fashion Valley (San Diego) for Thursday to get MegaNice9’s iMac checked out.
