Server uptime

// September 29th, 2008 // No Comments » // Server Stuff

I certainly got very close:

11:47:10 up 322 days, 2:35, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00

Almost a full year of uptime on a server that generally used to be very busy. That stat was run on my old colocated server before I switched to the virtual server at another facility. I hate to pull the plug on the old girl, but it must be done. Maybe I can bring the server back home and fire it up versus putting it in the graveyard for good…

Richard Wright, RIP

Richard Wright

Richard Wright (born July 28, 1943) died today after a short struggle with cancer. If you don’t know who Richard Wright is, SHAME ON YOU. He was one of the founding members of one of the greatest bands of all time, Pink Floyd.

Richard wrote The Great Gig In The Sky and Us And Them from The Dark Side Of The Moon, among many other great Pink Floyd songs…

Eagles opener

// September 7th, 2008 // No Comments » // NFL, The Eagles

Although I do understand that the Eagles were playing the Rams (last year they were 3-13), I still think they looked pretty darned good today. Sure, the score was 38-3 and Donnie Mac went 21-33 with 361 yards. Still, there was room for improvement. Glad to see Tony Hunt from Penn State punch in a 1 yard TD run. All in all, it seemed to be a good start.

Oh yeah, and in other news, the rumor around the NFL is that Tom Brady of the Patriots is out for the season with an ACL tear…

Yeeeee hawwwww!
