Twice in two days, the server upon which my sites reside has locked up; I will be keeping an eye on it and looking to know what’s causing this.
Step one was tightening up the firewalls on the box, so please let me know if there’s a problem you note with the day-to-day functioning here; it’s possible I will have blocked a port that is in internal use.
Step two will involve setting up some logging apparatus this week.
All of which may mean extended, mysterious outages and the like, darn it.
The night after we brought Mavis home, Dave picked up a copy of The Stranger, Seattle’s gen-x alternstive weekly, which has generally suffered at the hands of Seattle Weekly’s backing by Village Voice media and by a lack of staff turnover.
The paper still shows sparks of former greatess, however, and one such spark has been the inclusion of poster reviews since Seattle returned to the blessed state of well and widely postered.
Lo and behold, this week, they’d picked our neighbors’ lost pet flyer, featuring the protagonist of yesterday’s entry, the lost and lonely Mavis!
Mavis is doing well, her family reports. “She’s an indoor kitty now,” says Christian.
