Sni.ps vs Reblog

Playing with sni.ps, a service for annotating content to use in blogs. Pro: Dublin Core meta data on what post. Con: No easier than manual process I have. Reblog was way easier.

The Look

The Look that means he loves her through anything.

Christmas Vacay

We ate a good meal Christmas Day. I neglected to get any pictures I guess. On Boxing Day, we decided to go to the beach. So Saturday we drove down to Jekyll Island.

Jekyll Island Club Hotel where we ate a great lunch. We also took advantage of the sales at the shops nearby.

That isn't a lake at the bottom. Instead, it is the roof of my car.

In Need of a Sedative

Have not slept well the past week... I have been the on call DBA. So I have the pager. Monday we joked things seem to be worse when I have it. Well... this week has been a shining example.

Monday: OVIEW had issues starting at 5:15-ish. I had seen that behavior before and applied the previous fix. The monitoring showed a half dozen recoveries. So I went home. Well, on the way home it got much, much worse. So bad it was actually unavailable... but for only a couple minutes. :( I didn't go to bed until 1am because I was trying to figure out what went wrong.

Wednesday: Starting at 6pm, redux of Monday. Amy worked on that for me, but I ended up staying up until 1am again looking at logs trying to figure out what was the issue.

Thursday: "Emergency" restart of OVIEW to be more proactive. Didn't get to sleep until 3am.

Saturday: A node in OVIEW crashed. (Middle of the day so thankfully no loss of sleep.)

Sunday: A node in OVIEW failed its 3am restart. This might signal the same cause of the issue in Monday and Wednesday.

Ugh.

Thankfully I get to hand off the pager to a coworker tomorrow.

Technorati : sleep

Lives Intertwined

Britt and Adrianne with Minister

Had fun at Britt and Adrianne's wedding on Saturday. It was my first time pretending to know what I am doing with a camera and tripod. Adrianne is happy with the results, so I am happy. Photographing more weddings and learning from my mistakes will make me better.

Home Again

 

Had a great visit with family over the past week. I really do love my family. I ought to visit more often. After all, the point of not moving too far away was to make it EASIER to visit. Maybe I do live too far away?

The extended family is all over the world and visits my grandmother much less than I do. I could call, email, or chat through Facebook more. :)
