Today went better - thankfully no big exciting events like yesterday. Seems to be crazy server time though. While the temp in the one server room isn't 85+ like yesterday, something is up. One server rebooted early this morning. No good reason, but it's running Windows so probably a disk cache full or something. In poking on a different one for performance reasons I discovered something slowing it way down so hopefully that one will be better. Then there's this websense thing - it restarts 8 times a day and still manages to crash between those times sometimes. Oh well, at least it's a service where being up most of the time meets the purpose. Now one of the core web servers is down and looks like it probably needs a power-cycle so that gets to go to the first one in tomorrow. And email load went high enough the servers stopped accepting for a bit - that's always fun. Speaking of email it looks like I get to play with sendmail and spamassassin this weekend. My hosting provider noticed the config I have wasn't scaling well with the numbers of emails going through the system lately (it wasn't designed to as the number of messages wasn't expected) - oops. In other news Andy Nelson initiated a C1 run today which was great, and also managed to get signed into enough classes to get around not being admitted due to lack of space. I'd say that's a rather decent accomplishment for a single day. Anyways, if you don't already have plans for Friday night here's
an option. If you can't log into that and are interested email me for details, but basically movie night 7pm my place.
