Flashes of Panic

[admin@raven admin]$ uptime

I don't know why I get a little flash of glee at that uptime number. Maybe it's that, having built the system, it's reassuring to see that it has been running for nearly half a year without a reboot, or any other significant tweaking. It's as though, last August, I hit a little "got it right" target and now my geek score keeps running up.

Or perhaps I should be concerned that our primary webserver has zero load. Hello? Anybody out there? (By the way, no, this domain is not hosted on the company server.)

A few dozen things I thought about writing about here in the last day or so, including the sudden appearance of sap buckets and tube systems in the past week, the high school musical, and the drunk cretin on the street last night who was convinced that I was somebody from his school with the nickname "Jockstrap." (Sorry, bub, anyone looking like you wouldn't have survived long at my school.) How I was worried that this morning's lap-swim earworms would be "Annie" songs, but was saved by the classic rock station the swim coach had on.

But perhaps I should come to terms with the idea that I can't log every idea, can't chase every link? Hm.
