Great weekend, got home to find the bathroom redecorated! Sheer quality, I hate doing the DIY stuff. Nice to have the I/L's with us too, always top to see them.
My webcam came today - very quick delivery, kudos to Dabs.
Spent the day beating rsync into submission as well as getting the cam up and going. For some reason rsync insisted on dieing on a certain file in the directory I was trying to transfer, always the same file. Google was oddly useless, but I sorted it in the end.
OH YES!!!
Scary database day!
Have spent the day getting ready to do the DB migration, and on the way have migrated a Radius service!
It's now 16:30 and the backup DB server is going to be on for the weekend, I'm too scared to risk migrating back at the last minute before I go home, I have much better things to do with my Friday night.
Ordered the webcam, should be here in 1 - 3 working days, which is quite exciting.
The in-laws are staying for the weekend, so hacking time is going to hit zero for a couple of days, which is a pain, cos I was going to try and get the new release of my diary ready.
About to do the migration, probably put my views of how it went up on Monday.
Well, figure I should pop a diary entry in to kick this off, gonna try to keep it up to date from here on in.
Fun day writing some shell/perl scripts to migrate a whole bunch of MySQL DBs from one machine to another. If only we could get 3.23.xx to build on a MIPS box or two, we could have replication, which would make our life considerably easier.
Been thinking about my own diary software, definately needs some more work doing on it before I totally get out of the groove...
Nearly bought (well, ordered) a webcam today, the RiggCam's been offline for far too long (over 18 months now) and it should (and will) make a return, using Free Software of course.
New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.
