After the most recent power outage at home, our home server isn't turning on.  I tried turning it on, and off again, and watched as it flashed cryptic dell codes across the 1-2-3-4 pannel on the front.

So I activated the "DR plan", and figured I could have a new share up in 5 minutes... And we recovered just fine.  All of the important stuff at least, while I find a new home for the drives.

I now have all my data, and a happy wife, who was looking for something for teaching tomorrow.

Hurray for backups!

I love this time of year.  Even though most people found that the 32C that we hit today hot, I had a nice place to work outside in the shade.  Having somewhere nice to work meant it was easy to be productive, especially with no one else home.  32C in the shade with a breeze is actually nice to work in!

I've been dreaming of this kind of nice warm day with the opportunity to work outside for a while now.  It was doubly nice since I get to do it again tomorrow, and I got to avoid at least an hour of traffic.  I have to say outside at home was nicer.

I've decided to start a new feature on my blog called the DIY revolution.  It will document all the things I attempt to do that are "DYI" in nature, with the goal of reducing the amount of stuff I go through.
