Today as I was driving around the outskirts of LA I came to an intersection. On one side were war protestors holding a sign, “honk for peace” …and on the other side were some people rallying for the war with a sign which read, “honk to support our troops.” 

The people rallying to support our troops had U.S. Flag. But these war protestors didn’t have a single U.S. Flag so they were probably anti-american as well. War protestors are so ignorant. They do not understand that because of the military and because of wars they have the freedom to protest.

March 27, 19:40: So I am working on a website at 7:40, then i see a flash and suddenly the only light in my room is the glow from my monitor and the LEDs from the server. Our transformer blew. I ran the UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) battery down wuth my monitor being on too long while looking for a flashlight. About 10 minutes later I shoot off a few emails and shut the monitor off.

19:50: All secondary and backup servers power down. UPS1 is running low.

20:00: I turn the monitor back on…UPS 1 does not like that and shuts down immediatly while screaming in agony at me in its archaic beeping language. All power routed to UPS2.

20:10: Run down to church to pickup Noelle.

20:50: UPS2 gives up the ghost.

22:00: Its still dark

22:30: Sleep

March 28, 02:30 Power restored. I hear the servers coming back up with their lovely “beeps” but I am too tired to check them.

07:30: My shower is interrupted by a call from Jason. “Webmail is down.” I promise to check the server after clothing myself.

07:45: Everything is okay, a few DNS issues and the inet daemon (which calls the daemons to allow people to check email) forgot to wake itself up. But all critical daemons were functioning. So much for the uptime. Looks like Meredith will have me beat for quite awhile.

I do not like Java. It seems to me to have the most ridiculous installation process. I have to go to Sun’s website, agree with an agreement, download the files..and AAAH! they changed the JDKs around so they’re incompatible with the Java patches I have and they don’t have the old version. …errr. All i hear is, “Java is the future!” “Learn Java” …bah. Java is the slowest buggiest language i’ve ever come across.

Its saddening to know so many of our men are killed by “friendly” fire. Its a cold hard reality of war. If only we could use public/key technology for instant friend or foe identification.
