Isn't system administration fun?

  • Spent a few hours this morning cleaning up some of my systems here. Had to complete the move from .home.com to .rogers.com, and in the process of cycling network interfaces, found out that my policy based routes using iproute2 don't restore themselves properly, which is bad, since it pretty much breaks all of my internet connectivity, in and out. After looking for some iproute2 based init scripts, I wrote my own.
  • Decided it was time to start backing up all of the RCS repositories I have on various machines... They're much less handy when you're trigger happy with 'rm'. :)
  • Other than that, there's not much happening. Lucy's going back to puppy school next week, although we're a bit worried, because not only is she not allowed to have treats, she's also been a fair bit more aggressive towards other dogs lately. Hopefully it doesn't stick.
