More Spring Cleaning (May 31 2007)

Wow. No real major crises today. Time was, about 10 years ago, when it was just me and Jeff and Dan crammed in a tiny office working on SERENDIP, dealing with server problems occupied about 5% of my time. The last 8 years it has been more like 99%.

So I got to catch up on some nagging tasks today. Worked on ravamping my stripchart code (which takesvarious system readings and alerts us when things are amiss) to ease the process of incorpating new servers. Cleaned up the lab in 329 - we have literal piles of retired/dead machines now. When Sun recently donated that new thumper server they also gave us a "parts" machine to upgrade jocelyn so I finally started looking into that. Worked a bit on a script to automate the new multibeam splitter process (whenever we're ready to start that up). Patched isaac's RAID firmware on the off chance that might fix its recent penchant for crashing - it didn't help, but running in a non-xen kernel seems to be a functional workaround. Fixed some broken web pages (donation page, the connecting client types page..). Discussed the next step in server closet upgrades with Jeff - he reminded me there's going to be a lab-wide power outage on Saturday, June 9th lasting all night. How convenient.

Oh.. I see the UOTD updates stopped working, too. Stuff breaks unexpectedly when you hastily retire servers like we've been doing recently...
