8. September, 2002 - Weekend update
- Well, I've spent most of the weekend playing with server configuration things. I've only said either
D'Ohh!
or Duh!
a few times, but one of them seems to have taken the server down hard enough that I had to go to the actual machine and reboot it rather forcefully. I hate it when that happens.
The point of the server work is to try and make things more stable in the long run. I think I'm making progress in the right direction. But taking a day off from regular updates here gave me time to think a bit, and I think I'm going to be taking more breaks from a daily update for a while. I've got a lot of longer pieces and essays I'd like to finish up (there are about a dozen that I've got half-written) before they get any older.
So why should you care? Well, if you see me go a few days without an update, don't panic. I suspect updates are going to be irregular through the rest of the month, and if they do show up daily, that'll be the exception, rather than the rule.
