swestrupLivejournal seems to be acting up in a NEW™ way today. I've not been getting all of my e-mails telling me when someone has replied to something I've posted. Often I've only found out about it because I stumbled across the comment, or because I got mailed a reply to a comment that someone else posted and I was never told about. How am I supposed to concentrate on my various chores if I have to keep checking LJ for possible comments that I haven't been told about?
As to the chores themselves, they did not go as stupendously as yesterday. Its not like my brain actually went on vacation, but it did lock itself in the bedroom, turn the stereo up way too loud and refuse to answer my knocks. Today I only managed to get the prepwork done for the firewall upgrade, rather than actually doing the job. Its amazing how many complications can show up when all you're trying to do is make a backup of a running linux system when said system has no tools installed and those that HAVE been installed have had 'redundant' options (like make backups) removed. It was STILL possible to do the backup, but NO ONE should have to write a backup routine in sed. Eeek!
(At least one of the troubles I ran into has turned out to be a hithertofore unreported bug in dropbear, my SSH client. Its already been fixed in the sources, but I don't have a development environment to compile it in...)
