Bad news: Just like on Friday, the Snap! server crashed this morning, costing me an entire productive day of work. The symptoms were identical to Friday’s, which were atypical for the monthly crashes we’ve grown used to.

Of course, when I say “grown used to” I mean “grown increasingly fearful of each and every month, to the point where jaws clench and stomach acids churn and tempers fray like cheap twine.” Or something to that effect.

Good news: We’ve finally ordered the parts for what will become the new central office server, replacing Tokimi (the Snap! server was named after the “evil” goddess from the Tenchi Muyo OAVs, yes) and Arthur (our current main Netware server, named according to Ben’s “Holy Grail” theme). It’ll only take me three solid days and nights of work to make the transition… if nothing goes wrong.

Starting either tomorrow or Wednesday I’ll probably be living at the office for a few days. Anybody have a cot I can borrow?
