Re: Board Will Be Down For Maintenance Sunday Afternoon (CST)
Hi again. The downtime was longer than I expected. The inside of the server was indeed dusty and the air intake on the power supply fan was mostly blocked. That went smoothly. For those that don't know, The Board is running on a computer with the Fedora GNU/Linux operating system. When I rebooted, I...

Board Will Be Down For Maintenance Sunday Afternoon (CST)
Hi, There are messages in the logs that the server hosting The Board is getting too hot. The prime culprit for this is dust buildup so later today, I will be shutting down the server and vacuuming it. Beyond that the other common causes are things like the fans not running. The server is getting old...

Recent Downtime
Hi, I wanted to let everyone know that the site is really OK in spite of a couple of recent outages. We are having VERY VERY cold weather here and that caused a few power issues locally. On top of that, one day last week, there was an non-weather equipment failure last week at a substation that knoc...

Re: August 23 Downtime
Just to update you all of why we had downtime Saturday. The external hard drive we use for backups failed. I have moved it to another computer and duplicated the problems it had. This is good because it definitely means the external hard drive is the source of trouble. I tried to reformat it. If it ...

August 23 Downtime
Hi, We had a few hours of downtime today. The hard drive which we write backups of the site to failed. I have disabled use of that drive until I can figure out what the right thing to do is. I don't remember exactly when the computer running the site was purchased but I am thinking at least 5 years ...

Hi, Since no one has mentioned it yet, I will announce that over the weekend, I swapped out the ticker broker click-through (which has generated nothing) for a map of where all of your IP addresses map to geographically. Yes we know where you are. I was quite pleased with the map. Let me know what y...

I'm so sorry to hear about your father's passing. I sure miss mine. But his spirit is still alive in us and Spooky accuses me of channeling him at times.

It was nice and quiet. I share my birthday with Queen Elizabeth, Bob Dylan, and one of our son's best friends, so Justin went there for the night.

Re: Happy birthday Doc!
Thanks for all the nice birthday wishes folks. It has been a quiet and long weekend here at the Spooky house. I did something to my back and have been very slow getting around. On a positive note, SG got me Cure for Gravity and this has given me some down time to read it. Thanks again for the well w...

According to http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/05/05/peter_gabriel_server_theft/ , someone stole (knicked in the local parlance) the actual computer hosting http://www.petergabriel.com/ . Amazing but true!! This is the text from the w...
