blinkerTotally lousy day today. Woke up grumpy and didn't manage to find something to eat before my brain crashed.
[Random tangent that some of my anonymous readers may appreciate: every time I make any sort of face while typing, Kelly says "what? Did Ann have a baby?" It's very distracting.]
Anyway, we finally did get out of the house and made it down to Diesel for some coffee. Then we tried to go by a new seat and seat post for my bike (the originals having been stolen last Monday night when I left it on the rack at the T station) at Wheelworks because it was right down the street, but it turns out that it's easier to do that when you actually have the bike. Fortunately, they're open late during the week.
By the time we got home, I somehow managed to crash again. Not sure how that works. I curled up on the couch and pouted for a few hours and then decided it was time to clean my room. With help from Kelly, I managed a seriously impressive closet re-organization. We moved the stack of drawers out of the closet and now there's lots of space to hang stuff up. Then I went on a bit of a laundry rampage.
I'm not sure why I was so dysfunctional today. Work's been a little stressful, but really not that bad. I need to be good about sleep this week and make some time to go to the gym. Kelly's going to be out of town for a few days, which will hopefully not be a problem (sometimes I like having the house to myself, but other times it's a total disaster).
In other news, I've sort of got a new computer. The company I work for makes a product that runs on small Linux boxes. This year's boxes mostly use flash memory and aren't really suitable for general use, but last year we had less opportunity to customize the hardware and wound up using machines that are about the size of a cable box with a 20GB hard drive. Those have been sitting around the office for months now, so they started giving them away. I plugged mine in to one of the Ethernet ports on my wireless access point router box. The router says it has a new DHCP client, but I can't ping it or telnet to it or SSH to it. I'm not quite sure what to do about that. I'll have to bug someone at work on Monday.
I've been doing some more Linux work at the office lately. We took all the Win2K servers we were using for our production environment last summer (we do most of our trial deployments in the summer), which have since been replaced by a big Solaris server, and installed Linux on them. I've been trying to get Weblogic to run in a cluster on two of them. It was almost working, until I tried to restart it. D'oh! Maybe I'll have more luck with it this week. On the bright side, our new staging server hasn't ground to a halt even once since we switched it over to Linux (it was a daily occurrence on Windows).
