Well I was going to update the night before thanksgiving, and I got distracted with tv, time I returned, I couldn't access my server. Some digging up with help from Rick pointed me to a power outage... Well I have a ups on my computer, and its set to restart every day at 6am... So I was a little bit concerned when 6am rolled around and it wasn't online... So I gave up hope till I returned on Sunday, only to find, the ups served me just fine, my computer never powered down, and to realize the network was down. The power outage did some bad stuff to the cisco switches for some of the dorms, which got fixed a few hours later...
Thanksgiving, was fun!!! Well the whole break at least :) I spent 2 days doing an mp for cs 232 and then I spent Tuesday running errands, all three days resulted in me driving back and forth from Decatur to Champaign... Think I need to just live here :) Then after that I was just at home putting my financial statements in order (bout 7 months or more of them that piled up :) ) and then I did the refunds for cycling club... Coming back home was fun, since I got my contacts on Sunday, opened up the labs, and then had fun realizing the network was down...
Some cool things that happened, I shipped out my 2U rack server, wolverine to cali, so now there is lots more room on my floor, not to mention all my mess is gone :)... It finally reached there, and I called them up to put in an installation ticket (rack it, cable it, and power it on)... turns out the cabinet I was assigned was full, so it went into another one, not a big deal... Turns out that cabinet doesn't have any available power outlets, so my server is in the cabinet just waiting for power!!! I'm waiting for them to fix it, then again there is nothing there important on that server, so they can take a week or two, at least be done time finals are done :)
This week I figured out the joys of wireless and laptops... Ironically over break I found out why wireless sucks... It sucks cause 2.4ghz cordless phones that come between the laptop and the wireless base station, breaks it.. besides that its fine :) It rocks on campus, cause no-one is walking around the building with a cordless phone (I hope) and cause I can just sit outside my next class in between classes and do online homework or read up online notes, at worst I could download the notes and read them :)
With all the good, there is bad... ehh I have bunch of mps to do thats due Thursday and Friday, hopefully I get them done this weekend.. and then studying for finals.. And that finance 321 project needs to get done also... And I need to work also... ehh time to go do something
