Down And Out

You may have noticed that the blog has been down for a few days...

Then again, no one may have noticed at all.

Or, maybe the only "one" who noticed was some $%*@! comment spammer who couldn't spam me for a few days. If so, good!

But, if you did notice, and the loss of a daily dose of David brought a cloud into an otherwise sunny day - sorry.

The good news is that at least the outage wasn't due to a system failure. In preparation for having the study painted, and due to an unanticipated business trip, I had to take the server down before I left so it could be safely moved while I was away.

The good news is that while I had the server down and disconnected, I finally got around to replacing the CD read-only drive with a CD-RW drive, and installing Mondo, so I can now back up the server to CD rather than to a disk drive on another server on the network. And, I can do a bare-metal restore, rather than having to rebuild the server manually in the event of a catastrophic failure.
