The bright side of a Moon
I swear I’ll get back to the stories soon. I promise. But one last post about my home network and my smaller domains.
I fixed my home network tonight.
My Mac mini was… ahem… asleep. Yes, when I transfered over my settings from the laptop (my main computer) to the Mac mini, it also transfered over my Energy Saver preferences, like going to sleep to save power after about 15 minutes. Ugh. Simple problem, simple fix.
Oh, snap. I didn’t try to reach my domains from a different network – just tried it from my laptop, already on my home network. This morning I can’t get to them at all. Can’t tell if my cable provider is blocking me (finally, after months and months of not blocking me), or if I messed something up.
I hate spending so much time fixing something, and then finding out it’s broken again. That sucks. But there’s a chance it’s not my fault.
Not that that makes me feel any better. But, y’know.
OK, my smaller domains are back up and running:
So… about seven hours to get it all back up from (almost) scratch.
How long should it take to rebuild a webserver from scratch?
I’m on 6 hours and counting.
I’ve backed up the data, reinstalled the base OS, moved the data back, installed updates, installed more updates, installed additional software from three different sources… updated the additional software… shit.
Almost done!
I shaved my head.
Good morning. I am on the bus as I type this. I’m on the driver’s side, three seats back. That doesn’t include the sideways-facing bench. If you count that as one “seat” I’m four back. But if you count each actual seat on the bench, I’m seven back. And that doesn’t even count the driver’s seat, which seems to me to be in a different world.
I ride this bus every workday. I recognize so many faces. Same group every day, nearly. In fact the driver changes more often than any of the passengers do. The driver changes every three months. Union rules. There isn’t a passengers union. Man, I’d join that, if it gave me a say in how things are run. I’d find out why different drivers have such wildly varying ideas about their job.
Bus stop approaching. Argh! Why does someone sit next to me, blocking me in, one stop before I get out? Sorry, dude, you’ve got to move, just when you sat down.
Out into the rain I go…
Oops, my smaller domains, lunarobverse.com, liefactory.com, and runmoonrun.com are all offline at the moment. Working on it. Sorry.
My political-oriented blog, Lie Factory, is back online. Enjoy!
I’m doin’ stuff on the back end to get my old political blog, the Lie Factory, back up and running.
It’s political season and I’ve got stuff to say, both about the local races and the national races.
Be patient. It’s coming.
