Attention Everyone:

Dennis just lost the game.

That is all.

CAUTION: This video does contain some language and lots of animated violence.

I suggest you see it.

We be jammin'.

I am still putting everything back where it goes, but I'm back online at least.

So I've been needing to clean my apartment rather desperately lately. I have decided that I'm going to do so right now, but I'm also going to re-arrange the bedroom while I do so. This means my computers will be offline for an hour or so. If anyone needs me and it's an emergency, call my cell phone. Otherwise, shoot me an e-mail and I'll read it when I'm back online.

Yet another rarely embedded Youtube video:

Yeah, the Wildebeest got a bit of a strangle in the last 24 hours. I decided that since my load graphs as http://tim.gm.skudd.com/ had shown basically no activity on the three project servers that I have running, I would fix it. So, I dropped the Folding@Home client on each (as root), and fired it up. When I woke up this morning, nothing worked, the Wildebeest, Boardbox, and Shazpod were all non-responsive, and I was left looking like an idiot.

I don't think the sister unit and her husband are around today, so the 'beest is still dead-ish. I've left instructions with them on how to fix it, so it's just a matter of waiting for them to get home.

Shazpod was pretty easy to fix, since I had my KVM hooked up to it still from the initial setup. Boardbox, on the other hand, was a much different story. I don't know if it's the hardware or what, but that was the second time I saw what appeared to be a spazzed-out video card, and the system was 100% unresponsive. As such, I had to issue a hard reboot, and it's back online now.

So yeah, if you use the Wildebeest, I apologize for the downtime. Such is life of a project server.

It couldn't have been put any better: Outsourcing, by The Simpsons.
