Server Status: Up

Lumpy is back online. Apparently they had done some moving of computers and in the process, the power strip that Lumpy was on got turned off. So I've flipped the switch and Lumpy, and the alternate mail server, are back online and functioning.
Server Status: Up (Lumpy is Down)
Server Notes
Well, it seems that Lumpy is currently offline. During my weekly test, Lumpy failed to respond. Unfortunately, because Lumpy isn't located at my house (Which was partly the point) I'm going to have to go to it to reboot it. Unfortunately, I won't be able to do this till tomorrow. So Lumpy will have to remain offline for a while until I have a chance to go work on him.

Well, I'm currently posting via Motoko from her new position: in my bedroom. We haven't popped the breaker again, although that was relatively true before the relocation, so I'm not sure that it actually says that much. But the hope is that in it's new location, Motoko will not be a significant player in any future power concerns in the guest room. However, since my computer shares it's circuit with the washing machine, it will be interesting to see how things go, especially considering that the relatively high load UPS device is also connected now to that circuit.
There are a few concerns I have personally. Most of them are trivial, but things like, "Why where we popping it after the move, but not before it, despite the fact that no additional devices where connected (And more importantly, why only when there are a small number of laptops connected? Why wasn't it popping on Fridays?) The second is, why was the ground fault interrupt protection tripping on the outlet the UPS was on? Was it the UPS' fault? Thirdly, every time the breaker popped, the lights went out in the family room. Is it possible that the problem is related to the fact that there are 4 100 Watt lightbulbs connected? Should we replace them with more efficient, but slower to warm up fluorescent bulbs?
And lastly, what am I going to do about bedtime when I have a 24/7 computer living in my room? Luckily it's not Phoenix, who emits about 60 dB of sound constantly. Motoko only runs at about 40 dB, so I have that in my favor. But I've also added three new lights (Power, HDD, UPS Power) to the room, which can be terribly distracting when I'm trying to sleep. ^.^;;;

As you know, we've continuously blown the breaker in the basement during some of the hotter weather. So I've decided (mostly to make the 'head of the household' scowl less) to relocate Motoko into my room from the basement corner. Because of this, the server will be offline for as long as it takes for me to get the arrangements worked out. I suspect that she'll be back up some time in/on/around 6:30-7:00 PM MDT tonight (8/4/04) Lumpy, however, remains functional and happy, so your emails are, in-fact, safe.
