                             You daily Zen moment

As you may have gathered from yesterday's entries [1] I wasn't having a great
day. I had gone to bed thinking the Server From Hell [2] was okay and I could
concentrate on other things, but alas, I was waken up early to a dead server
that needed to be up now and can we please move all the sites over to the
backup server now and trying to fix things on a keyboard [3] that is less
than perfect (perfection in keyboards thy name is IBM PS/2) and the sheer
idiocy of RedHat [4] and all this before I even had caffeine set the tone for
the rest of the day.

Eventually I was able to straighten out the UID (User ID) mess [5], get all
the services from the Server From Hell onto the backup server and switch
everything over (this about 1:30 am or so). And everything seems to be
running fine (once I figured out how to increase the number of open file
descriptors on the backup server to accomodate the large number of open
files).

Hopefully now I'll have the peace and quiet to concentrate on other things.

Ohm.
