Bloody garbage truck woke me up this morning, I got a phone call a short time later, it was my mate a the shop, he asked me about problems accessing websites or something, and also problems with mail, I had a look, it was getting spammed again, and there was 4mb free, as I watched the huge spamd process (me again) finished, and it went back to having 500MB free ram.

The phone's been going off it's head all day since then.

I wrote some documentation for the tivo mailing list, took me ages with all the phone calls going on.

Someone else called with problems with something.

A guy I used to work at CSC called, he wanted to talk about a business opportunity, I told him what was going on, chatted for a while, I'll call him back in a couple of weeks when I have some time.

The guy who called yesterday after the blackout was complaing dns was broken, I logged in, and found that dns was not running on one box (oops, that script I need to fix), and dns was broken on the other box, I had to kill -9 it and restart it, that was fixed,

Then I had to make several calls back and forth about the bandwidth in Gosford, I thought it was just throttled, but it seems that it's saturated, probably all that spam, now I have to worry about trying to get static IPs moved to the Sydney pop.

I still need to find some MPEG2 software that works, otherwise I'll just DivX/XviD this stuff and be done with it.
