It would seem that the fileserver problems have been resolved, but the real test will be when I get home and see if my email is working again. VP’s database-driven design reduced most of the impact, but all submissions are sent through an email form, and it’d be nice to see what news items I’ve missed.
Thanks to the restore process, I don’t think I lost any code, and only one entry was sacrificed. That entry had a comment from Shawn, and for some reason it’s now attached to this entry, even though the count is 0, so now Shawn is giving technical requirements for a skin irritation, I guess.
Speaking of the skin thing, my science experiments are progressing. The latest theory is that it’s due to a particular article of clothing, so now I wear kilts to work. Just kidding, I could never forsake my pants.
Regarding Shawn’s technical specs for VPC, yep, I’m thinking big. It may be a moot point though, as I’ve just about finished negotiations for an IBM laptop, as long as I get some work done this weekend in trade. This weekend’s a good one to work, because AngelA’s left me again, so it’s time for another round of Bachelor University. Maybe I’ll tie this weekend’s lessons to my newfound interest in biology. Just as well, since last night’s dabbling in chemistry (*hic*) has convinced me to avoid the subject for at least a day or two, if you know what I mean.
Tonight I’m planning on some overdue personal downtime. Now that I have cable, instead of buying or renting something to zone out in front of, I can watch all the stuff I taped through the week. This won’t really take that long: I tried to tape 5 shows this week, and I managed to get 2. Hurray for me. Those EyeTV gadgets are starting to look really good. Did I mention that my VCR isn’t Y2K compliant? At Thrust HQ, we party like it’s 1985.
