My blog server went down.  Don’t know how it happened, but a brief power outage happened and the server didn’t come up.  I went to it today after lunch and gave it a reboot.  It came right up.  I didn’t even have to boot off CD to do some lilo surgery or anything extraordinary.  I have that effect on computers–they fear me for some reason and just work when I’m around.  I guess it’s the fact that I’m holding their little brother for ransom that does the trick.

And just so you know, dear blog readers, you get the same level of service that you pay for. =)   This server is nowhere near anything that would resemble a need for high-availability.
