Crappy Day
October 21st, 2005 byI had to drive all the way up to Portland to deal with one of my web servers last night. Stupid thing just stopped accepting connections. I could ping it just fine. Just couldn’t get in. Started out from Eugene at 2 AM. On the way chemical spill on I-5 rerouted me way out on 99 east and horrible fog both on the way up and back slowed the trip down to a crawl. So I didn’t get any sleep last night obviously. I tried to sleep when I got back at 8 but got about 9 calls in the three hours when I was in bed. I finally decided to give up and just get out of bed. I figured my rich boy next door neighbor (his parents gave him the house as a high school graduation gift), who has been vibrating objects off my shelves with “eye of the tiger” all week, would crank his butt rock up pretty soon make sleep even more impossible. What a crappy day. On top of all of this I had to deal with a security threat on a different server and maintain some semblance of social dignity because family friends and my dad are in town. Blech.
