It's a new low, even for me... | | | | It's, ahh, hmm, raining. Scratch that, it's /pouring/! | | | | (Yes, I clearly have a _lot_ to say.) | | | | reply... | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | "the frantic pace of modern life" :: [2005-06-01 02:53AM] | | mood: tired | | music: lila downs | | | | These last few days have been hectic.

No kidding. I tend to be very binary, on a lot of matters -- | | things either are or aren't, there's not in betweens. And if they aren't | | (and should be!), something has to be done, quickly. I don't like to | | pussyfoot about, I don't like to waste anyone's time, and I most certainly | | don't like to waste mine. | | | | Time is a very precious thing these days, people seem to have it less and | | less. And, incredibly, they seem to be all too keen to wash it down the | | plughole. | | | | Hence the pragmatism, not idealism. Although not in Thom Yorke's soulless, | | drone-like, empty sense. | | | | reply... | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | "blackout tuesday?" :: [2005-05-24 05:37PM] | | | | Power loss. Again! And during the day... for three hours! ffs | | | | Weird, isn't it? Not a single outtage since mid September, and now two of | | them, over two hours long each, all in a single week. Gotta love the odds | | of that! | | | | I need bigger UPS's. Strike that, what I need is a diesel generator. | | | | Urgh. | | | | reply... | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | "Tiger, it's grrreat." :: [2005-05-20 00:59AM] | | music: Chiara Civello | | | | Well, that was quick. | | | | calvin:~ nuno$ uname -a | | Darwin calvin.itsari.int 8.1.0 Darwin Kernel Version 8.1.0: Tue May 10 | | 18:16:08 PDT 2005; root:xnu-792.1.5.obj~4/RELEASE_PPC Power Macintosh | | powerpc | | | | So, the pristine install of 10.4 lasted exactly one week. Are we going to | | get 8.2.0 next thursday? Stay tuned! | | | | ;-) | | | | reply... | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | "electricity, a shocking lack thereof" :: [2005-05-16 03:06PM] | | music: coco rosie | | | | Gah. Massive power outtage during the night, my poor brave little UPS's | | valiantly survived between 52 and 64 minutes but, in the end, they all | | died sometime around 5AM GMT. Bollocks. Most of my boxes hadn't been | | rebooted since November, eris for example had over 170 days of uptime. | | | | Since I'll probably be brewing new kernels for them all, to make the most | | of this downtime, maybe now is the perfetct time to try swsusp (suspend to | | disk, in linux speak). Hopefully next time they'll suspend nicely, instead | | of simply halting/dying (and thus preserving the uptime). Let's see how | | well it copes with machines other than laptops -- my only experience with | | swsusp on anything other than a laptop is on my AMD64 desktop, which | | happens to Just Work (eh, um, isn't that Micro$oft's motto?). But, since I | | don't have anything that isn't plain, boring, ordinary hardware, my hopes | | are high. The only bits that may put a spanner in the works are RAID and | | LVM... Well I sure hope it doesn't decide to eat my backups server ;-) | | Maybe I should ask around, first. | | | | But, back to ranting, I really hate Endesa. Truly. | | | | Oh, and by the way, in case you haven't noticed, I added a new rss feed to | | itsari.org yesterday. In between two loads of laundry (you do your laundry | | on sundays, don't you?) on an otherwise dull and rainy afternoon, I hacked | | on the old rss generator a bit, now it tracks down the images section as | | well. If, for any really mysterious reason I can't possibly begin to | | understand you have any interest in it, go to http://itsari.org/images.rss | | Have fun. | | | | And it's still raining. | | | | reply (5 comments) | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | | Next >> p1 of 11 | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | (c) 1999-2010 itsari dot org 01:03am | | page generated in 0.098s Setting Orange, Bureaucracy 31 YOLD 3176 | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
