Not too interesting of a day. Looked at a couple houses, not sure what to think of the sellers on one but the other one looks good. Went to Culver's for lunch and they lost my order, but was signing paperwork so it wasn't a big inconvenience. Ended up getting a free lunch next time though, which is cool. Poked with the authentication server since there were weird delays and other people started commenting too. Ended up poking through for a while and eventually converted some of the scripts to mod_perl. Tiny little scripts are suddenly causing apache processes to chew 35-60MB though, but luckily even with mod_perl the bloat is sticking with the children and not the parent. Get around that issue by having them exit after 5 requests, and make up for the needing to respawn children by modifying the priority of the parent. The box isn't anywhere close to CPU bound in a realistic sense and it was just the swapping insane processes in and out that was killing it, so this is helping. We'll see what happens long term though. The evening was nice and relaxing - sometimes it's best to just sit and do nothing for a while.
