Four days off and I didn't really do much...
After my somewhat limited birthday festivities subsided, I basically just laid around the house, doing nothing - and I had a wonderful time doing it. I used to always say "doin' nothin' means a lot to me..." (I got it from Bon Scott - sue me...), and it does. I spent a lot of time thinking these past few days. I've mostly been thinking about the direction I want to take this network in...
mikey bein' a bum
What does one do when they own infinite possibilities on the web? I can build my own machines. I now have six static IP addresses. I'm in a position where I can say or do anything I want. The whole thing with web hosting keeps dancing around in my brain. I'm perfectly capable of putting it together. It'll just take some money, basically.
hmmm...
I've been looking at some Systemax tower servers - they're very reasonably priced, and seem as though they were just MADE to run under Fedora 7.
I found one mistake I made with attempting to set up my personal machine under Fedora - I left the chosen hard drive on a RAID channel - dumb! But that's what I get for setting the thing up while I was loopular. If I'd set it up using IDE, it may've gone differently. I might try it again tonight.
The server got knocked out yesterday. Thunderstorm? Power surge? Voltage spike? I don't know - I was asleep. Actually, from what I can see, it happened about an hour after I went to bed. I work second shift, I sleep all day, so the problem didn't get corrected until I woke up. Actually, my mom sent me a text message on my phone telling me the network was down and' everything. One of these years I'll get some spare change together and buy a redundant power supply for damnage. Nothing fancy - just something that would allow the network to have uninterrupted power for a minute or two.
I decided to enter this blog into a topsite list deal, and I found myself in a position where I didn't have a 468 x 60 banner for it. So on the fly, I made this thing up:
I'm looking for a good thumbnail gallery post script for this blog. I basically want to integrate all of my photographic stuff into this blog and move it out of damnage.com's main site. I dunno, it makes more sense to have it here. Doesn't it? I dunno - it does to me.
I've also added a new shoutbox to this little site - you can find it on your right...
Anyway...
Back to work tomorrow afternoon...
I don't mind though. I actually like my job. I work with some great people...
I just wish I had time for everything. There's so much I want to do...
