Groundhog Day 2010
Today is actually May 2nd 2010; three months after this year's Groundhog Day. It just doesn't seem right to let the year pass without writing something in recognition of my favorite holiday. This year, on "Groundhog Day", I want to acknowledge the transitory nature of Life; the series of moments, one leading into the next. It's so easy to become complacent in our efforts and make believe that our place in Life becomes a sort of fixture. Rationality contradicts that complacency though, we know that Life is fluid and ever-changing. (Sometimes that hurried flow can sweep us away; as it has with me as far as not writing this blog entry for these past months.) Despite the tendency to speed impetuously through Life, we should be "present" in every moment of Life as it passes and treasure its' beauty in our memory once it is gone. However our lives may change in the moments that follow, we somehow manage to also live on in an infinite number of immutable states through our cherished memories.
Fedora 12 Upgrade Success
All went well with the upgrade to Fedora 12. I have a few tweaks to make for my end, but everything should be as normal for the website again.
Another upgrade - possible INDY outages
Here's the usual upgrade blather: I will be upgrading the web server over the course of the next couple days. You may notice some downtime, though it is more likely that the upgrade will only cause a single outage of up to an hour tonight. (As always, any outages will not effect email or the blog, as they are hosted externally.) Now, I'm going to add something more.... With the way things have gone historically with these upgrades, I'm planned and ready for the worst. If the server's out for a few days, don't worry or be surprised. Just wish me luck. Alright, Fedora 12. Here we go!
Unanticipated Outage!
The cats chewed through some cables. We're trying to get things replaced quickly. Sorry for the unannounced outage. UPDATE (2009-10-16 20:41:00 MDT): Thanks to the efforts of a close friend, we managed to obtain a 50ft replacement cable and have now rerouted the cable away from curious fangs. |
