I’m guessing something like this

is right out, and this

is iffy?

That’s awesome SilverStag.

Thanks 🙂 They only fired the sucker twice, so I was glad to be able to score that shot 😀
/split-second later, and it’s all smoke, no fire…

[olavf]

I’m sure I’ll find a use for it somewhere.

This one was cool too. I didn’t notice the can first time around. Probably too subtle for a contest though

It works, just not always on the first try. I’m going to have to call my ISP tomorrow and have them check their box =P

Anyway, rehosted:

I don’t doubt it orionid

/Been spending a lot of time watching the internets scroll by on wireshark lately, trying to figure out why my packets are breaking up like they do. The amount of poop on our local subnet alone is crazy.

[olavf]

If Fark decides to check your links , and the server hiccoughs, it’ll do that. But, I can’t tell you the rhyme, nor reason, because I was down for several hours the other night and it didn’t seem to care.

I think p’bucket’s been doing that more lately, and flickr has been having problems with issuing the correct size.

Honestly, I don’t know what the hell is going on. Somebody broke the internets.

[olavf]

Blah. I *think* I’m back up and running. Doesn’t look like Fark baleeted my posts though. weird.

[olavf]

Yeah, I keep everything backed up on a regular basis. If the thing completely failed, I’d have everything up to this morning or so, so no real worries there. I do need to make a backup of the database for my gallery though. I’d hate to have to recreate all that data 😛

With any luck, it’ll just be the motherboard. *theoretically* Back up in under an hour. Linux is pretty resilient to that kind of stuff. If the OS is hosed somehow, it’ll be sometime tomorrow, since the install process can take a while, and I’ve got to configure some stuff (like the firewall & web server) before I can get back online – the rest of the config can be done on a live box thankfully.

It’s been giving me fits for about two weeks now though, and I’ve tried everything else :/

[olavf]

Barely that for me. Between the computer problems and the fact that I’m way out-classed in this one… meh. Oh well. Hopefully next week is going to be more up my alley.

Speaking of computers – Elsinore, looks like I’m doing a motherboard swap tonight. If that doesn’t fix things, I’ll probably be reloading the OS tomorrow too. So, if my pics break tonight, don’t bother with the restore. I’ll have to let you know when I’m stable. Well, when my server is stable anyhow 😉

Sorry for the inconvenience – twice in four months is embarrassing :/

[olavf]

I seem to have been having what was, at best, and intermittent issue.

I’ve noticed intermittent problems the last two contests. Sometimes red X’s and sometimes properly sized frames with no pics. I’ll keep an eye out this week and let you know if I see it again.

I’d appreciate that. I *thought* I’d narrowed it down to a RAM issue. And, I literally beat the hell out of it Monday night – Lotsa pic linking around TF, plus offering up a 200MB .avi file – and it went through all that just fine. yesterday it was occasionally being flaky again, so I dunno. I tweaked some stuff that seems to have made things better again, but if it’s not that… I’ll be on my second motherboard in four months, and/or reloading the OS in case something just got corrupted =P

[olavf]

I can’t believe I forgot this one:

That’s the trouble with having 20,000 photos on file, I can’t remember where they are any more – or what they are, sometimes.

I keep meaning to go back and add keyword text files to all my folders for easy searching, but I have thus far failed to do so.

At least my directories are by date, and event/location =P

[olavf]

Thanks guys. It seems to be relatively stable. It’ll be interesting to see what happens when we go green, I guess 😛

[olavf]

Olavf, they’re loading fine so far. Is JK using your server tonight?

Thanks. I seem to have been having what was, at best, and intermittent issue. I changed a few things and it’s quieted down, so I decided to go for it and see what happens. It was giving me fits last week, and I thought I solved it Monday (beat the hell out of it Monday night) and yesterday it was being persnickety again. Hopefully it’s happy now.

Kat’s not – I asked if she wouldn’t mind hosting off-site, since I wanted to flutz with it when I got home from work – she had to run off right at posting time, or she may have waited. Are her pics having a problem?
