I was poking on my myth box today - I "fixed" some stuff. Unfortunately I didn't discover this until I checked my email, and by that time it had already sent every email in the queue. So for the last few hours my email client has been downloading 20+ messages every couple minutes, and I still have 5 months to go (that's just on the one series, I hope there's not another). 1616 down, who knows how many to go... On the topic of email, last night I got an interesting spam. It started off with "If you've received this message - then your email address has been screened circulating on junk-email and spam related mailing lists." Thanks, but I've definitely figured that out a long time ago... As for today, the morning started off with a trip to Salem as usual. Then was DVD time a bit. Ended up watching up through Episode 15 of Alias, as well as the one that was on today. For those not counting, that's 4 DVDs so far. I like this approach much better than watching it regularly. It's like a long movie, but with a 2 minute review every 50 minutes or so. OK, a very, very long movie. Also ended up getting a call since apparently last night's backup caused a few tables under the mysql service to freeze up after filling the root partition. Sorta odd since nothing it can see is writable there (everything's on other partitions), but whatever. Got that all figured out, which let people do their jobs. People wanted to get back on the network or something it looked like. Complainers... :) Not much else, have the myth box CPU pegged all day and night encoding. 2 pass VBR on video is a good way to peg a CPU for a long time... Tomorrow is Monday. Hopefully I'll find something fun to do.
