It was a long week. A few outages, starting to look suspiciously network related. Rumor has it that Enterasys may have an idea of some possible cause, so hopefully we'll get somewhere on that. Today I went in and hit the reset switch on a box to get it up and running again... Other than that I eliminated the last of the old mailing list servers last week. It's nice to have everything standardized now. Some account merges, patches, updates to policies, the usual... Did come up with some good ideas about how to handle some stuff though.

Friday night was LotR:FotR EE, which was good. Ross and Pete and Betsy showed up, and Dave showed up after his printing fixes. Hopefully those printing fixes mean that Ross won't have to fix more SP2 stuff.

Saturday I slept in until some time in the afternoon, which was really nice. Then I went over to my parents' house and went up on the roof to pull and pry the chimney. That didn't go so well, but helped with a bit of other stuff, and we recapped it too. The ogo didn't work very well over there either. I've pretty much decided that it's going back now, as Cingular just can't keep a decent signal around here on GSM (and it's horrible with GPRS), and the ogo doesn't handle losing the signal well either. Oh well, maybe they'll improve it in a few months or something.

Sunday was church, followed by coming home to my brother watching the game. I left partway through that to go and reboot the database server, and then to run the sawzall to my parents' place. Then it was movie time. First was THX 1138, which was good. "Let us be thankful we have commerce. Buy more. Buy more now. Buy. And be happy." After what he's done to Star Wars, makes you wonder if he's sane... After that watched The Italian Job. I sorta like the ending better than the newer remake, but I like parts of the new one better. For those who think the new one is completely unrealistic, that's intentional - both versions have it. Think suspension of disbelief.
