Yay for lame new sites. I just switched the DNS records over to the three TC machines instead of the main web machine so the site might not load for everyone yet, but should for most people.
Know something about me? Tell me.
Get your own ThingsAboutME.com page
I feel like there's massive possibility that I overlooked something considering this site is quite easy and basic.. Yet it's been a work in progress for amost a year, and things come together very chaotically here in the end.
Long story short, let me know if you run into any bugs.
Facebook version to come.. eventually.

I don't know what I'll do with this, if anything.

Issues.. Issues. Life is funny in the fact that the power only went out at my house ONCE in the entire time I've lived there.. and now the power keeps going out.. Not only there, but in Cedar Springs as well. I woke up 50 minutes after the power went out and came back on.. but fell asleep again. An hour later to get a call from Shane saying everything was down.
It's been a battle to get everything back up. But I'm almost there.
The only good news in this is that due to everything being down when I got here anyway, I was able to get my new battery backup installed. When I test it, it says I have 12 minutes of back up.. So hopefully that should cover these recent hiccups in power in the area. And if I'm on top of a longer outage.. There's still nothing I can do I suppose because I don't have a generator yet. ;)
The only problem with the test, and it's gotten better with each test.. Is some of the TC machines go down, but the router is on that backup and it sucks a lot of power. Only one TC machine is going down now when I try it. Which isn't much of a big deal. The MAIN stuff, switch, database, dns, and main web all stay up. OF course, with no router they're worthless but the router seems to be fine on every test.
I'm going home and sleeping now. If you find problems, comment..

Looking at old guild stuff

I didn't really realize how much I really invested in that stuff.

Power went out in Cedar Springs. Go figs. Never goes out until I get the servers there with no backup power whatsoever. Even just the small ones would have helped this very short outage.
Anywho, it was all preplanned. I never leave AIM open all night, but tonight I did, with my laptop right next to my bed. Then if I leave AIM open, why would I leave the volume on? I don't know, but I did. Jessa randomly decided to IM me at 5:30.. 15 minutes later THE ONLY thing in my house to lose power was my air purifier in my room. I would have never noticed it if I wasn't awake and sitting right next to it.
There's no reason for a power outage way out here at my house to mean anything happened in Cedar but I immediately loaded up the sites.. They were all down. Came back up on their own a few minutes later but a couple servers weren't responding so I drove into town anyway. All but two (TC servers) came back up on their own. And they all went down because I had to restart some stuff on the email server when I got back home.
So anyway, it was cool only having to drive a total of 12 miles roundtrip to do something with my servers... Instead of the near 2 hour drive there and back down to the old data center. However, such a simple power outage would never happen at the old data center. Har. (Though, that's not true. Just a few months ago a critical server crashed and I had to drive down there. I got there and fixed the problem, but 5 other servers (TC servers, so I didn't notice) of mine were POWERED DOWN! Somebody knocked out a power strip)
The roads are really bad out there. The main intersection next to my house had slide marks everywhere, and several new ones just in the 15 minutes from when I first left to when I came back. The curves on 18 mile had more slideoff marks than I've ever seen it have before.
And now I return to sleeping.. And maybe I'll go buy some cheapo (yet still retardedly expensive) battery backup power strips tomorrow.

Well, everything is up and running here at the Cedar Springs location. Almost everything. The 4 rather critical servers are up, and then I've got 3 of the TC servers up. I want to get the other 5 servers up (6 actually, but one is having network interface issues) too but I don't want to push the power situation any further. I need to get the backroom finished and get an electrician to wire up a beefy power source.
If you can't reach the sites, you obviously aren't reading this, but you'll just have to wait it out. Everything is working exactly as it should and you need to wait for your internet provider's dns records to refresh and point you to the new IP addresses.
It's very exciting to have all of the servers here 6 feet from me, and to be able to go plug a monitor into each and every one of them any time I want.
Yay.

Alright, so this is a heads up. All of my sites will start having 'issues' sometime from tomorrow until the weekend. That's not to say they'll STOP having issues by the weekend, but they'll START having issues somewhere around that time. I'm thinking tomorrow.. or Thursday.. I suppose I could push it back until Friday.
I will be removing the servers from their current data center, moving them 45 minutes north and placing them in my new offices. Obviously the move itself (unmounting 13 servers, transporting them, and remounting them) will take several hours.
Then I will need to reconfigure all of their IP addresses, since all of the IP addresses are changing.. And hopefully everything should work. But I'm sure there's going to be a config here and there that I forget to change. PLUS, it's going to depend on how long it'll take MY DNS servers, and the DNS YOU are using.. to update all of the information and start pointing you in the right direction. Finally, it depends on whether or not my T1 lines here are going to perform as they should or not. I worry, because sometimes it seems like they don't. But it might just be the wireless router I use for my laptop.
Eventually once things get settled there will be more downtime as I move the servers to a permanent location (yet to be started or finished) in the office.. But that shouldn't take too long and I'll do it at like 3am anyway.
Also, if there's storms and the power goes out or something.. That will be a problem since I don't have automatic backup power. I plan to get a generator, but it still will require me to know when the power goes down, and to drive to the building. Yay.
Big exciting changes.

I want to be with him, but I think old feelings for another are coming back. I can't do that to him..
Why did you do this to me? Why? I was letting go.. I was becoming happy with my life again. I was falling in love with someone who loves me back. I've been locked inside your cage for years, and I've finally squeezed inbetween the bars.. and instead of letting me go you lock me back up again.

I've looked at my past entries carefully.. and I notice how stupid, how cliche, how immature they sound. I have a journal I write in. One with paper, bound in between two pieces of cardboard.. and within it's covers lie such deep, thoughtful musings. I wish I could write that way here, but I can't.. knowing that practically anyone, given the will and want to come and enlighten themselves about my life, can read this.. I feel the need to saturate my thoughts and write them in the manner I have in the past. I hate it, and I probably can help it.. maybe I don't want to. I don't know.
He told me I'm beautiful and he loves me. Two guys tell me they love me, now. One, I've chased for over a year.. another, out of the blue. What am I going to do, only my heart can decide..

Sorry for the lack of updates..
So, I told * that I thought I was falling for someone.. and for whatever reason, he started fighting and being an asshole with me about it. What the fuck..? I thought he was my best friend, why the hell is acting that way? He HAS a girlfriend-- no, a fiancee. I chased after him for such a long time, if he wanted me he should of taken me then. Am I not allowed to date someone..? Does he just want me to chase after him and be misreble for the rest of my life?
FUCK.

I haven't updated in a while.. oops. I blame summer.
So.. I kinda met someone. Call it a hunch but I think he likes me? Maybe? Or am I getting my hopes up all of a sudden?
To be honest, the thought of having someone liking me scares me. I'm so fucking disgusting, fat and ugly, and I only have so much time before he's going to want to see a picture of me and well..
..I kind of like him too.
Showing him my picture = he'll stop liking me.
Fuck.

I've reached my weight "goal". I'm still going to work on it, though.. so, next year I'll work on getting.. 120-130.
In other news, I'm actually feeling kind of happy, for once. I think I'm finally letting go of him. I'm meeting a lot of new people--online and offline--, family life is slowly getting better, and I'm looking towards getting a job.

I think it's time I start to move on.. I'm going to get nowhere if I keep chasing him when it's obvious he feels nothing for me.
Plus I'm getting the impression him and her don't even want me AROUND.
I'm sorry..? Sigh..

Now I have a question. Why the heck do I check my e-mail over one hundred times a day? And why do I check it five minutes after the last time I checked it? Note to self: NO ONE IS SENDING YOU E-MAIL, AND IF YOU GET ANY, IT'S ADS FOR PILLS AND ENLARGING YOUR PENIS!
I like my penis how it is, thanks.

So.. him and I talked, and this time he seriously knew something was wrong. I had done alot of sulking and crying the last three days.. unable to shake this feeling whenever I thought of him. We talked for a long time.. what he told me surprised me. I saw a side of him.. I never saw before. I feel so much closer to him now.. I know he loves her, and I told him I'm okay with that. All I want him to do is to be happy.

I told * my feelings for him. I did it. Him and I have gotten so close over the years, and I got this vibe he really liked me. He always seems so happy to see me, and he puts me before everyone else it seems. Him and I talk for hours and hours on end.. and when I realized my feelings for him were flourishing, I started to hope his was too. He asked me if I ever had a crush on him, and if so, who.. I told him yes and it was a secret {stupid}, so he asked me if I liked him. I denied it at first.. but when he asked again, I thought, "What do I have to lose? Maybe he does like me?".. so I told him. He then went from some really mature, supportive guy to a really immature kid, and gave me some childish responce. I would rather trip and land on my face and have people point and laugh than the feeling I got from that.. I ended up leaving.
I haven't talked to him since. I was wrong about how he feels.
I hate this..
