Pack Back On Track

I spent Saturday afternoon hanging with my brother at our buddy Scott‘s house. We were on the edge of our seats watching N.C. State play at Florida State.

Fortunately, this one had a happy ending for Wolfpack fans. We were reminded of being there when the Wolfpack became the first ACC team to leave Tallahassee with a win.

Kudos to our team for a gritty, if not always pretty, win. Kudos also to Chuck and his coaches as they took what they had and they made it work. Let’s work hard and take this momentum to a bowl!

MT.Net Back After Brief Outage

I went to check email this morning and was puzzled when things didn’t work right. Seems that at that moment Maestro, the server hosting MT.Net decided to give up the ghost. The likely cause is an overheated CPU.

I didn’t sweat it, though. The family and I went out to catch a ride on the New Hope Valley Railway. It was a beautiful day for an open-air train ride through a woods filled with changing foilage. It was also T’s first train ride and he took it in stride. He even did the baby sign for “train” for the very first time! We were amazed, and so proud.

After lunch and naps for the kids, I wrestled again with Maestro, fetching a new power supply to put into it. When that didn’t work, I got the idea to switch out its CPU with one of another machine that’s not currently being used. I did that about ten minutes ago and it seems to have done the trick.

I’ll be moving the MT.Net universe over to a new, hosted server soon. I’ll just chalk up today’s troubles as a good dress rehearsal.
