Lots of little things started off the morning. Got Avalon moved over to the correct physical area of the network, which went amazingly smooth. Backups for everything finished off really early so got some other restores out of the way. Got announcements sent out to everyone about avalon and the temp files going away. Sorta figured out some goofiness with the new AC unit in the server room. What happens when you put 8 tons of cooling in a 15x20ft room? Yea, we turned off the old 3 ton unit and it seems to be doing a bit better. Still cooling fast enough that it cycles pretty fast though (12 minutes or so for a cycle). Hopefully adding more equipment will help. After work I went over to Ross' place and of course
took some more pictures. Dave brought his tripod so was able to get some better shots. I should have taken a few a bit later though, as while I was finishing up snow was coming in so it was a eerie looking fog over the city. You can sorta see it in some of the pictures there. After that came home and poked on usenet a bit. Then Paul told me about some spam coming through, so I dropped blacklist entries in on all the mail servers, figured out they had been sending from a whole netblock over the past hour or so, and blocked the whole thing. Spammers really bug me. They just make things a pain in the butt for everyone else.
Dude... Those pics are *awesome*. I think I might have to steal one for my site :). When you have the car head/tail lights streaking, is that normal exposure or did you do something special to get that to happen? That is a really cool effect!
Anyway... Spam sucks really bad. Even worse that it's now legal. It's so sad people have to stoop so low to make a buck.
