2008-11-15: My Fault!
Sorry about the outage last night. I forgot to rotate the log files because of the whole trip to Ireland thing, and /var/log/ ran out of space, causing apache to bork. I've moved everything, and it's working now. Additionally, I finally scripted this to be automatic from here on out. That's something I meant to do over two years ago, but never found the 10 minutes to actually do until now. :-) ...

2008-11-12: Home Sweet Home!
I'm back from Ireland/UK now, but gotta go to work in a few hours. It was a good trip overall, and while it was rushed, I did get to see a fair amount of stuff. I'll get some pictures together eventually, at least of the cooler things. It's still gonna take me a week or so to catch up with things though. ...

2008-11-02: Xepher Is In Ireland
Hey all... I'm going for a trip to Ireland and the UK starting in a few hours. I'll be gone about a week and a half. I'll have some limited access while there, but won't be able to really do much except emergency stuff (I'll be using my new phone for a web browser.) To those of you with outstanding applications, I apologize I didn't get to them before I left. I'll take a look when I get back, I promise. ...

2008-10-05: Thanks For The Beer! (Some Assembly Required)
So I decided to get into beer brewing as a hobby. I went to purchase my first round of equipment and supplies, and the vendor's website presented me with the paypal option! I totally forgot about having a paypal account, as it pretty much only gets used to accept donations here. Turns out, over the past few years, I've collected just enough to buy everything I had on my order! So that's pretty much like free beer... just some assembly required.

In all seriousness though, thanks to those of you that have donated over the years... you now know that funding is gonna get your friendly neighborhood sysadmin a little bit drunker. :-P ...

2008-09-30: I Am An Idiot
I wrote a new script to help me manage DNS on the server. Apparently I didn't test it enough, and it borked DNS a few hours ago, making the server unreachable for a good chunk of people. I've fixed it, but the TTL is 3600 seconds, so most of you aren't gonna see this for at least another hour or so. I'm just posting this to let you know why the outage occurred. Totally my fault. Sorry! ...
