Well, the replacement power supply for this iBook showed up this morning, which is good. I had a nervous time this weekend working on the book, hoping I didn't run out of power. It didn't help that we had a good ice storm sweep through, and we lost power a few times. (I really need to get a journalling filesystem installed on the Linux server. The time it takes to boot from a crash is just too damn long, and this weekend it was racing the next power outage. Crashing during a fsck isn't a good thing.
I also got a new coffee maker. I managed to drop the carafe for the old one. Of course, nobody carries replacement carafes for these things. (Every store has exactly one in stock, and it's always for the coffee maker that nobody actually owns) Getting a new coffee maker only cost twice as much as a replacement carafe anyway, so we just broke down and did it. The old one's scheduled to be cleaned up and sent off to Goodwill. Hopefully they'll have an abundance of carafes and a shortage of coffee makers, and can hook the two up.
Finally, the neverending stream of BIND 8 bugs finally nudged me into upgrading to BIND 9. I'm tired of wondering if some skript kiddie is going to break in and do Evil Things. Hopefully this'll be the last upgrade for a while, though I expect I won't be that lucky.
