swestrupCould I just STOP having computer problems for a while? Thanks!
Well, the web/mail server here just died again. No idea why. I wasn't getting my mail so I tried to log into it to see what was up. Nada. It was completely hung. It ignored the keyboard, none of the services responded, nothing.
Having tried all else I rebooted it. Not that I wanted to, mind you. I was on DVD #20 of a supposedly 14 DVD backup. I hadn't been able to finish because I only HAD 19 DVDs left, which should have been enough.
So, I've just trashed another 19 DVDs, after the 8 I trashed yesterday when my session closed itself spontaneously.
Now, it may turn out that I could really use that backup because when I try to boot, all I get is 'LI'.
Hopefully its nothing major, and I can fix it tomorrow, but who knows? I'm certainly not going to try to check it out tonight, as I was just now getting ready to go to bed. This sort of stress at bedtime is NOT what I needed!
Of course, this is made even worse by the fact that![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
hendrikboom, who maintains my the alternate mailserver phoned me yesterday to tell me it had been compromised and that it would be down for a few days to a week while he reformats and rebuilds it.
So, if anyone needs to send me mail, use the gmail address now displayed prominently on my profile page.
