Mmmm, sleep

I clearly don't get enough sleep these days... at least, I sure miss my after lunch and/or 2:00 nap. ...

... wha?! Oh, yeah. Journal. Hi.

The Journal won't be appearing on the recently edited box on the right of the main screen until/when I put it back under the TWiki umbrella again. Hope y'all can stand it.

What is today, Tuesday? I'm tired, so I guess this is Tired Tuesday.

W.Eng (name suppressed due to a snippy e-mail from one of the principles; doesn't want a Google search to show that things may not all be beer and skittles there) is having problems with some stuff... of course, they went and fiddle with a BUNCH of stuff, much of it relevant, and now they are in a panic. Of course, with my system problems, nothing is available for my poking at it -- no compiler, the CVS tools, the source code, nothing. Fortunately, I have the environment backed up and I can re-install the tools.

But who has time for this?! Ugh. And of course, my computer keeps dying. It's an IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL error, or something like that (typed from memory). Means a driver is bad, or some hardware is bad, or an update is bad... really, it's a non-specific "I'm Messed Up" error.

I'm thinking the on-board IDE controller, since I put the new boot drive on that, and that's when this specific damage started. So I'll try moving the boot HD onto the RAID; it has extra channels, so what the hell.

It's got to be better than the "repair computer with sledgehammer" approach I'm often inspired to try.
