It's always something.

Last nights session had two major challenges. The stream box and my tension.

After spending what little prep time I have after work, transferring the hard drive and video card from my stream box to a newer PC, I thought we were all in for a treat. The stream looked fantastic with the new lowest resolution being 640x480 per face cam, and the main over head now reduced to 1280x720.

All the cameras were at 15 fps and holding steady. No glitching, no problems.

Then the unthinkable happens. The system just freezes, or apps just close. No explanation, no error message, no apparant issues! Honestly, it was amazing. Just thinking about it, I want to rage and smash something.

Sensors show no temperature issues, and Google reports no special issues between Intel and Linux Mint, but even today as I am attempting to suss the root of the crashing, I find nothing.

I don't have the time necessary to invest in finding the issues that may be causing the problem, nor would I even know where to being, but my sanity can't take much more of this.

So I've come to a single logical conclusion: I'm cursed.
