| Sorry for the mess this morning... |
| 2005-03-25 |
| I installed a new antivirus program and the integrated firewall firewalled us all out. After about a dozen restarts I got the problem isolated. We should be good to go for now. I want to swap the server out next week to do some hardware maintenance on it, so we'll probably have another day like this morning. I'll try to give advance warning, though. |

| #26 Shipman and BigEd---All those stars are my navigational friends in the past. When the Arabs had their act together, they would use them to navigate. I do like the Alaska State Flag. Blue background, big dipper stars and the pole star polaris. Very simple and elegant. |

| #25 The ones that break down, or that you take off-line could be named, oh: Boris, Gentle, Murat, IToldYouSo,... |

| #24 Don't forget Churchill. Maybe you better call it Ward so you don't get ocnfused. Maybe WC for short. |

| #23 OS, FreeBSD and Apache would be also good 2 words. Not sure though how that relates to machine hostnames. Well, unless: Apache Comanche Hopi Sioux Lakota Cherokee Metis Iroquis ... etc. Or something more conspirational. |

| #16 Altho to be fair, Arab names for stars just plain sound good. AldeBaran is my favorite. |

| #15 Arab names for Rantburg servers? I da know.... I for one am waiting for the new Double Jasper class. |

| #13 We could name the machines after STARZ!!!! Alkaid Mezar Alioth Dubhe Alnilam Capella Kokab ....or not. |

| #12 Harriet was preceded by Dorothy, Ethelred,.. I always got a kick out of Concentric's four machine names when they offered a pseudo-shell service. They were Galileo, Mariner, Viking, and Voyager. |

| #11 Fred, just glad to see you are back! That, and Mucky's back! Now if anyone could tell me what the hell is up w/Instapundit, I'd be a happy girl. |

| #7 Harriet? Fred, my sister Harriet passed away some years ago. If her spirit haunts your server. Say, "Hi from 'Little Bro'"... |

| #6 I name machines 1-up alphabetically. I dunno why. Harriet was preceded by Dorothy, Ethelred, Francesco, and Gerthudion, and followed by Ike... |

| #5 Fred, if I haven't mentioned it before, you are a GOD! :-D Thanks for all you do. |

| #3 So where did the name Harriet come from for the server? |

| #2 Don't worry, it's always fun to read new cryptic error messages :-) |

| #1 Fred, you've done so much.. I doubt anyone here thinks you owe us an apology :-p If anything, we owe you more thanks! |
