greatbearTook a few moments tonight for some LJ 'admin' issues. Seems I had picked up as well as lost some friends that I was completely unaware of, despite having things set to notify me of such events. To all my new readers, howdy! To those who left, sorry I pissed ya off.
I'm staring at a three-plus terabyte pile of hard drives on my desk that are going into a new server that's slowly taking shape. The PC 'infrastructure' here is not the greatest. Jeff needs a new setup, I need something workable in the garage that can be made from old stuff I have around here, and the old server will be replaced with a pair of machines, one big file/media/streaming machine with the terabytes of RAID and a small, simple, efficient one to be the gateway/webserver/router/proxy. My current setup has all the eggs in one basket, and has done pretty well with probably 99% uptime since 1999. Not a bad record for this vicinity.
The weather is starting to get nice, which means more time outdoors in the fresh air. This helps my mood out. Which is a much-needed good thing right now.
It's soon time for spring maintenance on the cars, trucks and the fleet of little engine powered things around here. A trip to the Dragon's Tail in less than a month and a half is in the works, as well as a camping trip at the end of May. Little trips to get out in the world, which is something I have not been doing a lot of in recent months.
New pictures will soon be hitting my Flickr account, and some stories about them will show up here. It'll be more cathartic than artistic, that's for sure.
Hope y'all are doing well.
