Ceiling cat is watching me elucidate
I've been in a bit if a funk lately (LJ audience: "What else is new?!?"). Having trouble focusing on stuff that needs doing, getting fed up at work at the sorry state of affairs cause by (mis)management, etc. It's that 'one step forward, two steps back' rhythm that I sometimes fall into. Not to worry, really, things usually turn themselves around eventually, usually if I blog and bitch enough about it (and get offa my duff).
Jeff and I have one more little camping trip at the beginning of next month. It's back up to Knoebel's Amusement park for their annual "Covered Bridge and Arts Festival" weekend. One of their last operating weekends of the year, this is when the pathways and pavilions inside the park become home to craftspeople showing, telling and selling their wares, with artists and live music throughout the day. The park's major rides and attractions are also in operation as well. This should be a fun and relaxing weekend, the last before I put the trailer away and winterize it 'til next year. It should also earn some extra gay points as well.
If anyone is interested in this, let me know It'd be great to hang out and enjoy the weekend. Plus, it's free. Cant do better than free.
I need to do something about the computer infrastructure here at the Garage of Mayhem. The server aint gonna last much longer, the uber-UPS that powers it needs repair, and I need to upgrade to gigabit as well as add some huge NAS disks. Once winter rolls in and most of my time is spent indoors, it will be time to bring my shit into the 21st century. All my stuff needs some serious backing up, as well as at least one copy of everything outside the house or in some other safe place. A simple LAN-attached bigass drive out in the garage would do, but that environment might not be the happiest place for it. Decisions, decisions. I also gotta host my domains and make use of them. I need something better than what Comcast throws in with their 'net service. This is one of the primary reasons for ot posting much in the way of pictures and other goodies. No convenient space.
