Ate 3 donuts tonight, which was probably a bad idea, when added to the double espresso i had earlier. Guess i won't be going to sleep anytime soon. My DSL connection at home has been really spotty lately anyway, so there's little incentive for me to be there instead of here at work.

Say2's proof-of-concept server on bastille has gotten a small set of regulars now, so i guess it's a success so far. I've worked here and there on the code to hook it into an SQL database (for storing the user accounts) but haven't had a whole lot of time to put into it. Once that's done, i can either start looking at the SSL/SSH stuff (auth and encryption) or start trying to wedge channels into the infrastructure. Right now there's a single bogus channel just for testing.

Plaid is the coolest music i've been listening to lately. Other current faves: Club 8, Mojave 3 (hmm, some kind of number theme), 6ths, Godzuki, and for some inexplicable reason mfleming has gotten me hooked on an old Talking Heads album (which he claims he doesn't even listen to).

Greg bought the disks for the Linux rack-mount yesterday. We decided on a software raid-5 (parity raid) of 3 60G's, so we'll have 120G total. I get to foot the bill for the rest. :) Tried out serial tty support on Linux last night just to make sure my iBook will be able to talk to the machine once it's in a rack, and it looked okay. We're gonna try to put most of it together this weekend.
