The wheels are still turning!
Monday, August 14th, 2006Well from my usual garble, I’ve been working my arse off.
I’ve been involved in building a registry business, doing press releases, registry accreditations, helping staff with product and development, and squeezing in some support work (and a little training). I’ve worked almost every weekend too, doing jobs left right and centre. I may be busy, but I am loving life.
I’ve also been fortunate enough to have gone flying twice in the last week. I’ve gone up in a Lance Piper aeroplane. It has a 300HP motor, and is capable of exceeding 170knots air speed. I did an orbit around Melbourne CBD today, and I am still buzzing. I can’t wait for my next flight.
I love my new house, and Daniel and Marcus both visited me on the weekend. I have this awful habit of double booking my time, and I really should do something drastic about it.
I need to be more disciplined with my time, and I am making some improvement. I do not however expect the unexpected. One of the hard disk on my Linux box died, and I had to rebuild the RAID array today. It took longer to re-build than expected, however all of my data seems to be there. I am pretty fortunate; all of my hosted web sites seem to function during the re-buld process with minimal performance loss. Well the server load was up a bit, but Linux seems to handle it OK. It was my first experience rebuilding a RAID from an existing filesystem (with current data) on Linux. If I was to do it again, I think I could do it a lot faster, however the re-build time is the biggest killer of all.
Time for sleep, as I have a massive day ahead of me.
