So after class last night (Tuesday) which I forgot that I had an assignment due for, I came down to the office to get some work done, and finish prepping Phoenix (one of my servers) for the dedicated server move for a customer of mine.
Since my office is in the back of the NorthLAN Gaming Center, I help out by watching over the store for them a couple times a week. But last night, Jim (one of the owners) never came in to lock the front door, so Fish and I had to stay all night to make sure no one came and robbed the place. I took this as an opportunity to finish up prepping the server so I could move the sites over this morning at 8 as planned. I finished prepping the server at 2:30-3ish.
So I crashed from 3:30-7am on the couch in the front of Northlan. At 7 I got up and got ready to make the move. The move went fairly well, besides the fact that I had to sit around waiting for the stupid DNS to update. I got the majority of things taken care of by noon, and went to class. At 1, went to work at Computer Maintenance.
After work, I had a nice 15 minute walk home. Its really warm here in duluth considering it had been below freezing last week. Anyways, I ate some good home-made chili that Sunny made and watched some TV. 6:20 rolls around and I head off to church to work with the youth group. Right as I am pulling into the parking lot, my phone rings. Who is it? The customer who’s dedicated server I moved that morning. He was having some email problems (DNS related) and realserver problems (also DNS related). So I had to skip youth, and go down to the office. I got things taken care of and things are looking good again. At least until I decide to tackle the Tomcat installation that has been kicking my butt for the last few weeks.
Yeah, its been a long 2 days… I’m looking forward to being done with account moves, server installations etc. Maybe I’ll swing by the glencoe LAN this weekend.
Meh…
