Down for a while...

My server at train.ed.psu.edu, which serves all images on this blog, was down for over a week. The Office of the Physical Plant at Penn State turned off the electrical power to our building 8 days ago. My server used to restart and get up and running after a power down/up. No longer.

Now, to be sure, I am running Mac System 7.5.3 on the server. Why so old, you ask? This is the server that Apple gave me through a program that Russ Vaught was able to negotiate to make Apple equipment available to faculty trying to innovate. I was trying to innovate. Russ really helped me out so that I could wean myself from the University UNIX servers. I did a lot of development. And, I think I did innovate.

Lots of French Roast coffee today. Needed it. Stressful day.Coffee, hot and dark

Coffee should be black as hell, strong as death, and sweet as love.
