On Friday evening both M and I went to bed feeling slightly unwell, but not quite sure what could have caused it. Saturday morning we both woke up with massive headaches and an upset stomach. Of the kids, A had puked on his bed and N wasn’t feeling a 100% either, fun! Both recovered sufficiently to spend a day with their grandparents, giving us a quiet house. Of course not like we got to enjoy that, with our headaches, even after taking some painkillers (on nearly empty stomaches, yay). Bad enough that I didn’t feel like sitting down at the computer and distract myself with some catching up on news, or play some mindless games of Go. By Saturday evening when both kids were home again, we were finally starting to recover and towards midnight I was 90% ok, M not far behind.
Then Sunday morning, I wander down to the basement (where my office is) and find that the billing system at work crashed. Oops! A few hours and one recovery later, it crashes again, but this time due to lack of diskspace because I had left a few spare copies of rather large files sitting around to analyse later. Double oops! I move them out of the way and on we go, but it mostly ruins the good feeling of having recovered from Saturday’s illness.
Later that evening IgorMUD, where I’ve spent many years as wizard and some as arch(admin), crashes as well, but thankfully that is (no longer) my responsibility so after I alert the programmer of the gamedriver to the issue and he finds the cause and provides a source-patch, I fairly quickly fade out into the night.
This morning, I find the billing system at work had crashed again, again due to diskspace shortage, argh! Removing more crud and analysing the damage, I move on to drinking my coffee and wondering: Can I have a weekend now?
