Link(s) of the Day

Bringing the most 'unique' parts of the internet to you... or something... definitely something...

http://www.ceilingcat.com/: Thanks to Ruari for that. I really don't know what this would ever be useful for, but if I ever find out, I now know where to find a ceiling cat.

Third Time's The Charm

I'm now on the third server chassis with Hetzner and I'm hoping this one will just work. I'm going to let some tests run for a week or so before migrating any live content over again.

I HATE computers

They really really suck! My Hetzner server has died again - it's certainly looking like a hardware issue now, which will mean I'm on to my THIRD server with them in an attempt to find one that works.
To add insult to injury, neutron (my main fileserver here at home) died last night as well. Last timestamp on my monitoring system was 2006-04-07 07:29:35, at which point in time nothing exciting happens - though I am somewhat suspicious that the e-mail regarding the backup of skynet was not sent through - so it could be a PCI IDE card issue (Replacement is on order to see if that's the issue.)
In short, computer hardware sucks. It should just work, and doesn't - for no good reason. wah wah wah wah wah wah! Bugger!
