… okay, so it’s cold out and there’s some snow on the ground. I know this because I took a walk “downtown” to get some milk earlier this evening. I even have a Christmas tree all nicely decorated in my living room (thanks to Liz & Liz). I don’t feel particularly Christmas-y though. Not entirely sure why, but probably has something to do with stress from work. I’ve been a bit of a hermit today. I didn’t go outside except to get the newspaper and the trip downtown for milk. I’ve spent a fair chunk of my day up here in my computer room working on getting a second server box going to take over handling email and such while I rebuild my primary server. Oh what fun. I need to finish backing up data from the primary server tomorrow evening, then I can start rebuilding. Yay. :)
I got to chit-chat with Liz’s roommate Liz a little while on AIM tonight. I think that was one of the high points of my day … that and the Packers’ dominating the Bills this afternoon. Go Pack! :)

Yeah, I know I don’t post too often. It’s hard to find time these days, and when I do think about it I don’t know what to post. I spent some time with beldurnik and czar_sonja today … we went and saw The Two Towers. I really enjoyed it. I look forward to seeing it again. We went to TGI Friday’s afterwords for dinner. Yummy.
I had to return my angel to her father today. It was sad, but at least we got to spend last night together (original plan had been to return her last night, but thankfully the weather didn’t cooperate very well).
Tomorrow I shall continue preparations for rebuilding my file/web/ftp/database/dns/email server (trinity) … it’s a Debian linux box. Email is the only really critical thing so I’m going to get that up and running on another box so I can take down trinity. The OS install is about 3 years old or so and junk has accumulated to the point where I’m running out of space in some areas. I’d like to get up and running on a newer kernel too … currently at 2.2.9 due to the sound driver I’m using.
Well, off to bed for me.
