Lost and Found of the Gods

September 16th, 2008 · Comments

I’m cleaning out the blue metal shelves in my room.  The 9 x 8 blue metal monstrosity that’s quite possibly storing 80 lbs of useless crap.  I reach into the slot marked “Duct Tape” and pull out not the silver tape capable of doing anything except sealing ducts, but a Leatherman H503.  It’s a 50 [...]

Server Survival Marathon

September 13th, 2008 · Comments

My 2 TB home server has been on the fritz and I’m convinced it’s getting Munchausen Syndrome.  Somehow, the motherboard generates a wailing beep that doesn’t correspond to any normal beep code that’s only placated by rebooting.  It then lost my backups (go entire point of the damn thing!) and corrupted my system backup.  I’m [...]
