Long Day
So, today I gets into the office for 7:30. In the ay-emm. Round about the time most "normal" people (and I use that term veeeery loosely) are getting up and ready for their cornflakes, or whatever cereal's marketing machine grabbed them hardest before they last went shopping.
We had a minor "Sod's law" in the office yesterday. We needed to get a backup agent onto the webserver. In doing so, the webby buggered up the thumbnail generator on the server. In fixing the thumbnails, he buggered up mysql. At which point, we needed a backup. So we'd have needed a backup agent on the server. How did this all start? Hmm, vicious circle ftw.
So, anyhow, he fixed it today. Andteh the backup agent now works. Well, when I say works, it means we can back up the files the server will let us have. Some of them, it just says "Er, no, not on your life mate." and kills the connection for us. Bastard. Tomorrows job, apart from adding RSA tothe SSH Application Gateway. Which will be Fun. Note the capital "F".
Although you can't tell, there was a slight pause there while I fed the fish in the virtual aquarium. One of the oscars was sick, the ram cichlids were eating each other, but the freshwater angelfish were fine. Now, why a virtual aquarium? Well, the fish at home have ich/whitespot, which is a proper bastard to get rid of. Although the treatment seems to be working. I have a new tank (130 litres, the bloody tetras are going to get lost!) which needs to bed in. And I have to get rid of the ich. Plus, virtual fish are not in danger of my bloody git of a furball cat eating them. Not that he has, yet, but you can tell he's thinking about it. Particularly the horseface loach. But it will wind him up. Sucks himself against the glass whenever the cat sits next to the tank. Heh.
Well, that rambled on longer than expected. Makes up for not updating in the last forever, in a kind of not-making-up-at-all way.
Oh well, 6:30 pee-emm is less than an hour away, then I can go home. Finally.
Later.
