Begin the Beguine….
Not the song.. the paperwork. Entered 60 plus docs today just to have them swept away on the wings of a farcical internets mood. Blast it to random particles.. Oh.. its there already. Now I will have to start again. Or.. perhaps I will try a different tack on Monday as its way past the time I can do anything about it today.
The song… mediocre in my ears.
Watch the song “Swing by Zero 7” on YouTube or whatever video site you find. It must be the in studio version. Interesting squeeze box there.
The other things done today were.. shift, transfer, restart all processes and units on AWIPS. Done. I need a list for all the parts. I keep getting mixed up with only our stalwart ITO to deal with it. Har! We were musing that one or two ( mirrored ) servers running VMS could do everything the separate segments are doing… And mirroring it means hot spare on the fly. Even to the point of segment switching on failure. I think it would be great. I'd go as far as to have a backup running too of the main system. If a side goes down..wipe and install the whole thing… start recovery from the operational side and then switch. Its much easier to rewrite the whole than to cut and paste a segment. One slight error and very interesting things might happen.. nothing you would want happening though. Its a thought. Along with that thought it… could I or should I create a system that is just a raid system. Up and running and all the drives connected to it then use a mirroring setting. It wouldn't change anything but that I do not have to verify all the files are the same. Problem is the portability. Some of the files I want to work with are big. Moving them across the nets would suck. I guess I could have a drive to tote with me and connect it back up to the main system and dump whatever I did and have the system do the moving and mirroring… Hmmm… thoughts…… very dangerous. I would need a UPS and a good rugged PC. Hate to have it crash. Hmmm… Its all in that minimizing I have been on.
I stood in the doorway of the computer room again last night and stared at it. Trying to figure out what I could remove and not bother with. Clutter. Its as bad as knowing there's a corner in a round room.. you just can't see it….. quite.
Off to process some pics that catch mine eye. That hurt. Too much details to fill in.. too tired to do it...

Just change the oil.
And the doors and the engine and the side mirrors and the.....
Only the last shot was easy to do... and I cheated on the other ones.

If it is in your need to travel during the holidays.. I salute you.. THen bold my door.. board up the windows and remove the welcome mat.. Oh.. its never been out.
A truth has been found!!!
There are some good links I didn't add to this list. I could go on ad nauseum but I already did that.
I heard some very adventurous friends are heading over Pikes Peak in HOt Air Balloons.. I salute you also! Wished I could be there.. wished I wasnt so introverted.
