For the record, I had to ask mikjaer 3 times for his VPS UUID and even had to explain that his replies must be typed above the line that reads "Add your reply above this line". My patience got thin at some point. brycec: i do enjoy the weekends for the part. I just pick a time to do a run of support tickets and pending orders, then close the laptop until the next day. occassionally, things go wrong. like... tonight... kvr08 finally gave out after 955 days of uptime. Really high swap. I decided to take that as an opportunity to do a kernel upgrade as well. So, since i've clocked a few unexpected hours on a weekend, i'll end work early on monday... :) speaking of which, I know this is like tempting fate, but -- $ ssh kvr06 uptime 04:28:36 up 999 days, 1:21, 1 user, load average: 2.17, 2.21, 2.25 $ up_the_irons: fair enough. Just wanted to get things sorted out for them. Bummer that they'd made things difficult like that. Now go enjoy your Sunday... which I guess you're already doing. :p (was just razzing about not working on weekends... I know how that shit goes.)
