Both L4D’s now work! They’ll be up and down over the next couple days as we transfer all the databases over to the new RAID.
>Oh joy…
Today was day 1 of a 9 day work week before I get any day off.
This’ll be fun…
>A wet dream
I was in a small boat floating on the river when all of a sudden this giant tsunami appeared above my head. I breathed in and prepared to be submerged. I was so far below the surface that I didn’t even bother to try and survive. Next thing I knew I was out of the water and at my grandmothers old house not too long after she died. It was the day we moved everything out of the house. For some reason there was this one table in one of her guest rooms with pills on it.
Wait, you clicked on this because you thought the title meant something else? ewwwww.
>Downtime
The forum/Dedicated servers will be accessible for the time being. We’re testing the new RAID5 right now. It already looks like one of the new hard drives is borked. >_>
>Tonight’s dinner menu:
Scrambled eggs, bacon, corned beef hash and potatoes.
And flowering tea.
>G15 fail.
Well, my Logitech G15 keyboard came in the mail today. Unfortunately the LCD display is just orange. I’ve tried old drivers, new drivers. Nothing…
I’ve contacted the seller, now to see what happens next.
>Dedicated Server issues resolved.
Ok! The L4D server issues have been solved!!! Turns out it was a loose nut behind the keyboard.
Valve’s keyboard.
Seems there was a requirement change for LDS systems and for some reason Valve decided not to tell us about it. Very nice of Valve to do that. We got the L4D1 server to run again. Will install the 2nd one later today.
I didn’t think it was possible to be happy and pissed at the same time.
>Halloween Open Thread
It was a quiet halloween over here. It rained, very few trick or treaters showed up. But lat least I had my medkit!
And here’s my costume:
I even had the proper shoes on. Amazing what kind of clothes I have lying around the house! I didn’t even have to really buy anything for the costume.
The pictures were taken with my new camera. I did some digging around on that and learned that the device errors are quite common. It has also been known to draw too much voltage (I speculate this is why I got the camera for a cheap price). Thankfully I have an SD slot in my laptop that I can use. I ordered an adapter for the Memory card so that it’ll fit properly in the laptop slot. In the meantime I have an older laptop I can offload the pictures onto.
