Sunday started off with heading over to Salem Baptist again. Of course right as church finishes I get a page about avalon being up, which unfortunately has a corresponding "down" page that came in while my phone was being quiet during church. Turns out it actually did reboot so the full backup didn't really finished. Since at this point we pretty much had to redo the partial fulls from earlier in the day, I figured out how to create a new client from scratch and set that up and kicked off fulls. A short time later the web server went down, although at this point I wasn't going to go in to fix that. So I watched
Hannibal, which was very disappointing. He's way too predictable, and the movie doesn't really seem to have a plot other than maybe to scare people. If they wanted to do that I'd say to put some scary stuff in there or at least some suspense. After that movie the web server was still down, and since I needed to reconnect network cables to a machine anyways I headed in to work. Turns out the web server didn't just crash, it was bad. One of the CPUs was 58C with the fan spinning at a 1600RPM, and the other was 73C with the fan spinning at 5800RPM. Neither all that great. It wouldn't even boot in SMP, so I booted it with a UP kernel and it seems sorta stable. Hopefully it'll stay up until it's yanked out of the rack and looked at. Plugged the ResNet and AcadLabs interfaces into Avalon which was nice. While I was there the full backups of it finished as well so I kicked off backups on everything else as well. It'll be nice to have recent backups again. Went home and finished off the night by watching
The Fifth Element. Definitely worse than Hannibal, but not quite as boring since it was funny. And then there's Bilbo flying around in a space ship... Finished off the night dealing with some other unfortunate work stuff. Sometimes users just don't deserve being treated half as nice as we treat them even when we tell them to go away.
