I went down there, unplugged some stuff.

One of our servers was running off power in the other rack, so I just shut it down, moved it, and rebooted it.

Not too much mucking around to get everything sorted out.

I was about to leave, when I got a phone call about an issue with the server. I checked it, it had run out of memory. I tried to reboot it properly, but aftr waiting several minutes, and it doing nothing, I got annoyed and just reset it.

I then had to wait 10 minutes for it to disk check all the partitions, and reboot again.

I left, I went to the electronics place, bought more bits to make another tivo serial cable, and came home.

I made up the cable, emailed around a bit.

I was watching tv, it's really annoying, every minute or so the video drops out for a few seconds, I think it's because the signal level is so low. That tree is still in the way, and the rain from the last couple of days must have waterlogged it again.

I made up yet more remote codes for the tivo, I found that the remote for this decoder works on a frequency that Omniremote can't autodetect, I entered it manually, captured the codes, and made up another file for the tivo. It works, but it's still not great, I'm not sure why, I think this decoder is just dodgy, even the proper remote doesn't make it change channels everytime properly.

I was looking on eBay, and I remembered I'd bid on a decoder a couple of days ago. I started watching the auction, I'd bid $150, I was still the high bidder. I got outbid, at $152.50, so I rebid $160, and got it back. I forgot about it, and went to bed.
