The IT Problems Continue…

October 1st, 2008

Remember that my server was recent almost completely filled up a few weeks ago? Good timing on the purchase of the NAS — I had backed up about 1/3 the data onto the new server when the old server took a dump and crashed.

It would no longer mount the RAID-1 drives.

And I couldn’t remember the dámn root password.

Nor could I remember the grub password.

Since the hard drives wouldn’t mount I couldn’t even boot into single mode.

It took me until 1:00 in the morning to get past the lack of passwords.

It’s been four days and I’m still lacking basic IT services: email, iTunes, and access to pr0n.

Not to mention that stupid laptop that I finally declared virus/spyware-free as of last night. It took, what, two weeks to clean?

Things just keep getting better. I can’t even begin to figure out how to spell the frustrated noise I am making as I type this.

    Yeah, I’d really miss two of those three basic services, too.

    No, I’m not saying which two.
