Message of the hour from userlame.com:
Most of what I really need to know about how to live, and what to do,
and how to be, I learned in kindergarten. Wisdom was not at the top of the
graduate school mountain but there in the sandbox at nursery school.
These are the things I learned: Share everything. Play fair. Don't
hit people. Put things back where you found them. Clean up your own mess.
Don't take things that aren't yours. Say you're sorry when you hurt someone.
Wash your hands before you eat. Flush. Warm cookies and cold milk are good
for you. Live a balanced life. Learn some and think some and draw and paint
and sing and dance and play and work some every day.
Take a nap every afternoon. When you go out into the world, watch for
traffic, hold hands, and stick together. Be aware of wonder. Remember the
little seed in the plastic cup. The roots go down and the plant goes up and
nobody really knows how or why, but we are all like that. Goldfish and
hamsters and white mice and even the little seed in the plastic cup -- they all
die. So do we.
And then remember the book about Dick and Jane and the first word you
learned, the biggest word of all: LOOK. Everything you need to know is in
there somewhere. The Golden Rule and love and basic sanitation. Ecology and
politics and sane living.
Think of what a better world it would be if we all -- the whole world
-- had cookies and milk about 3 o'clock every afternoon and then lay down with
our blankets for a nap. Or if we had a basic policy in our nation and other
nations to always put things back where we found them and cleaned up our own
messes. And it is still true, no matter how old you are, when you go out into
the world it is best to hold hands and stick together.

in kindergarten"

There will be some brief outages tonight both with the site and userlame.net in general as I move to a new network. I hope to minimize any downtime and I will try to make the failover work into the new environment.
Then I'm gonna have to rewrite that thing. Sigh. Here goes!

Here comes the moment of truth...
5-15 minute rewrite of net up/down script
5-15 firewall configs
network server reboot new kernel in new network. yikes!
same crap for other server
reboot and same with the yikesing!

And you'll notice how I haven't posted since.
I had a few....missteps along the way. That and being out of town for a few days.
Back up and kicking now, then to move the other server over (that's the easy one now).
On an upswing, I've found that by simply naming the dot1q interfaces the way I want, I can keep almost the entire old failover stuff. That's pretty nice.

Final move is complete. Things are finally up and running the way they should be. phewwwwwwwwww that was a mess. I feel god-awful today as well so that hasn't helped.
Please please please notify me of any issues with the site/mail/anything.
I hope I'm mostly done.
