When It Rains It Pours…
After losing my sanity yesterday by spending over 7 hours on my own in the co-location facility working, I was hoping today would be better. Initially, it was, I finished up a number of things I was working on, so I was in a good position to try and renew my contract at Critical Path. I’ve now gotten another 3 weeks 
Plus, I spent only 3 hours in the co-location facility this afternoon…
The problems started after work. A simple task of installing a few extra fans into an off site server I’m concerned about overheading went horribley wrong. The primary IDE controller died in my presence so the machine started refusing to boot. I should be able to simply use the newer IDE controller I installed to access larger hard disks but I need to work out the new root location first. :-/
Now that that server is high up on my to do list this weekend, my plans around working in the the Maths Dept this weekend… :-/
