The Hobbit Hole XII - Tree and flower and leaf and grass
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Tree and flower and leaf and grass

New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!

Thanks for the tip, Ramius. I'm gonna start complaining about my eyes soon! *grin*

Hopefully all the messes should be transitory. Problem is, we're re-architecting the mail servers at the same time (or rather... that's the part that will be messy).

We're going down from 26 mail servers to... (drumroll) essentially: One.

Now, that "one" server is actually "three" but they are all only one logical device. Two in a clustered pair (quad cpu P4's with 8GB+ ram... fiberchannel... mega droolage) in the HQ will contain all the mailboxes. A third failover box in the new Phx computer room will mirror off the cluster (gots a T3 to synch over).

Moving all of the mailboxes into the new "One" server will be a massive headache.

But if we pull this off, we'll have a system that will be able to survive a nuclear detonation in any city, let alone a mere power outage, and e-mail will never EVER be interrupted.

It's pretty cool stuff... and it's about as close to cutting edge as I normally get.

Evenin' folks, back from the pool. We continue to be amazed at how much money is being turned in for the snack bar as opposed to what was recorded last year. We have a deposit for this week that is three times what we showed as income for the entire last season. So many things are beginning to make sense.

Luke learned to jump in the pool tonite. Unfortunately, he has not learned how to take his head underwater. So I had to catch him every time. After roughly 65,000 jumps, dad's software programming locks up...

When's the chat view?

*gasp*

I'm in a major way impressed! And how long have you got to do this? :-D
