Your Daily WTF
At scazon's request, I retell the dream I had last night:
There was a server controlling the world in some way, not entirely clear to me in the dream. (It wasn't as though the world was a computer simulation, but the server's functioning was clearly integral to the continued running of the world.) Suddenly, whenever I tried to access it, I got a "502 Server Error" ("the server could not handle your request"), and knew that I had to fix the server. There were people guarding it, whom I defeated in an epic and vaguely nightmarish battle (the whole dream was rather uncomfortable and disconcerting, but never quite crossed the line into nightmare), only to find that the server was running "Windows Server '92", which I'm not sure is even an actual OS. I didn't know how to fix it, because I'd never used Windows Server 92 before, and I couldn't google my problems, because the world-server was down.
And then I woke up.
I can identify some portions of the dream:
- The last few days, Perseus has been inaccessible-- whenever I try to reach the Perseus collections, I get a 502 Server Error.
- When I was doing volunteer tech support for Green Empowerment before break, I had to suddenly learn how to run Windows Server 2000, which is an immensely frustrating OS.
But still. What?
