And that your work would start to sell.

CMOT Diva's Laptoppe Shoppe has its first, so far satisfied, customer. tamaranth now has a NaNoWriMo toy of perfect form factor and portability which will be used to produce superlative works of pr0n historical fiction of tremendous literary value. No doubt if it breaks she'll enthusiastically tell you how much I suck. OpenOffice.org has a really fat arse but is otherwise better than MS Office in every way.

(If you're after a NaNoWriMo implement, get in touch. Two, maybe three, left! androktone, I haven't forgotten you ...)

tom_pusscat is now at our place and got two breakfasts out of us this morning. The mouse is long gone, but he can still smell it and sits on the kitchen floor, ready to pounce into action. He has also taken to curling up in redcountess's lap when she's geeking from bed.

This morning I went out to the colo again to supervise a memory module replacement. Of course, the guy was only there to see what sort of memory it wanted — there have been a zillion different machines sold with "DL580" on the front — the actual memory replacement will be done Monday. It's not like I've work to do or anything. Its urgency is reduced by the server in question not in fact being a perfect match to its working twin — someone has been playing musical cables and I now get to work out which Ethernet port on one box matches which port on the other. Which is at the other colo. I'm sure the boss will be thrilled. Both are running Red Hat AS 2.1; tips welcomed.

(There's eight ports on each box (DL580s running RHAS 2.1 as Oracle servers). Five are in use. The two should be set up absolutely identically. They're not, insofar as the cables are hooked up differently. Two on each go to the NetApps, one (or maybe two) goes to the backup network (172.19.0.0/16, unrouted even internally), one (or maybe two) goes to the rest of the world. I'm supposed to work out which pairs to bond. The boss is back on Monday ...)
