Tuesday… computer snagettes!
Nov 28th 2007PeterTech stuff
Apologies for the absence of the blog for the last couple of evenings – this has been while I restore the computer back to its normal configuration. Last night was spent installing the two discs for the RAID 1 array, and tonight was spent migrating the data off the single hard drive (shown resting on the top of the chassis) to the RAID array (one disk can just be seen at the top of the case) This didn’t go quite as smoothly as I expected – partly my fault – I carelessly deleted a logical volume, but because the changes aren’t recognised by the kernel until a reboot, the data was still accessible – until the computer was turned off, so I could copy it all to the array. The computer underneath will be the backup server.
Tomorrow I will be putting it back in its case and starting to configure the backup server, so it will be down for an hour or so.
O&U!!

Just a few minutes left on the library computer, so have been catching uop a bit on the blog. Great that appointment is now 2 months, and that you are having the same probs that the rest of us have – washing maching, mice, etc, oh, and computers! Am not taking mine to Aus. as there are good iCafes (better that in Glasgow which is not tricky!) Enjoy the festive season when it arrives – it is nearly December and the celebrations seem to have started really early this year. O&U Happy Crimble

I must confess that Olivia makes a better picture compared to your IT boxes and wires.
On the eye thing it may be too early for you but my youngest has taken to the lenses that are kept in over night and then there is no need to wear any all day, good for diving etc.
Best stuff Richard

Elspeth – Thank you – must talk about photos – I’ve left a comment on your blog.
Richard – she does, but nothing like a bit of variety! I think I might be a bit old for those overnight contact lenses – busy trialling different types – one lot I really didn’t get on with! Not sure when I will be diving again 🙁

Oh yes does it mean that the mice/rat repeller does not work?
