So I’m still doubling around with that odd server issue. I’m getting closer, I know the symptoms, just not sure about the best solution. While doing other things tomorrow, I think I need to bounce it,  stator it up, and once it’s started throw one file at it while logging the output of netstat every 30 or so. I’m assuming I’m hitting the built in cap on open network ports with the large number of small files I poke at. Now JobFlow seems to limit 5 files being processed at once just for this reason, but for some reason, I’m still running afoul of ports cycling too fast. Of course, this is all conjecture, so we’ll see if I see the cursed number hit.

Assuming that my auditions are correct, which is often the case,odo I increase the connection limit, add a delay for every file processed, add a delay based on the number of connections used, or something else. Totes not meh job description.

Jasmine rice – boiled seperately

1/2 red onion, chopped loosely

3 celery stalks

2 100% cooked andulie sausages chopped like hotdogs in Mac and cheese

1 large garlic clove done on the garlic thing

2 tomatoes – sliced

fried up in the cast iron

Per the Wif, and I agree, I should add some more spices

I’m currently trying to diagnose a problem that I can’t touch. I can’t allow anyone else to look at it. The people who can let others look at it won’t. So here I am. It’s kind of a blind flailing situation.

So tomorrow, I’ll update JobFlow (which I elect to do jack shit all). I’ll check the logs to see why things petered off at 5:16pm. My assumption is still that we’re looking at an issue in Apache. That’d be my guess. My current methods involve going through and killing all SMB access. I think Apache is insisting on opening and closing every freaking port it can find too fast, which means it’s just running out of open ports. This gets worse when there’s a backlog of files to process as suddenly there’s a race to finish one a port does open up.

This is getting so annoying that I’m actually blogging about what I do at work. I’m still intentionally vague, but this is the closest I’d ever get to really discussing it. 

There had to be a something wrong. There has to be a reason why or install is such complete trouble. I wonder if it was that one patch I found for Apache. Or maybe it’s the number of  that  never freaking die! Whelp, that’s tomorrow (today). 

Same idea as last time, same failing to take pictures. The variations were:

• Replaced the black beans, onion, and tomatoes with some of the Wif’s homemade chili
• Tin foiled the sheet pan
• Added a deseeded jalapeno and green onion under the cheese
• Replaced the cheddar with shredded and chunked whatever cheese I had handy

Next time I should nonstick the foil and encourage the Wif to not use a metal spatula.

Oh yes, it was delicious. #blessed

In the Den I have two recessed lights. This is another way to day I have two structurally sound, bear beams access points to mains voltage – with access to an emergency off button even. So if I replace one of those with an arm mount, the  ceiling  is the limit. Hahaha.

I’m thinking of going with a lazy Susan style mount, upside down of course, and then desk lamp style arm. I’ll probably go with bicycle brake lines

Bowden Cables. That’s what they’re called. Looking into efficiency of power transmission have me this.  Really cool article, not really what I’m doing, but it gives me an idea of what I’m looking at as well as a better understanding of waking kinematics.

So Bowden Cables are definitely in the running.

I got looking at a robot arm online. The commemorative model is in my price range, but I’m not sure about the real thing. I’m really not sure because they want me to twist a quote. Why do people do this? The analogy is a fancier fish serving restaurant, a fish house if you will, and a Market Price. How would I know how much a given fish is? Her BS. 

So I get looking at other and, and you have cheap plastic, and “request quote” industrial goods. A pro-am model would be great. Something to helprme in the Den. So that’s what I’m thinking about.  

Especially as this might be glass dust, I might need to think about dust collection in the Dremel(ish). Something about staying glass dust everywhere sounds like a bad idea. Maybe if I crank a computer fan fat enough connected to a house that sat at the end of the tool. This might be a terrible idea.

Tonight I’ll get expanding the shop some more. I need more shelves. I think I’ll take the one frame and mount it to one of the shelves. Maybe I’ll glass it in and make a terrarium like thing from it. That’ll kill a few birds with one stone.

I also need to look at the closet, and by closet I mean brewery. Not today, or even this week, I’ll look at putting an outlet in the inside (which well be child’s play). Really I just need to cut a whole in the wall and piggy bank off of the outlet on the other side of the closet wall. Suddenly I think I should think about that a bit more. Choose and stuff.

So:

Bottle cutting jig sucked (pictures to be added). Turns out that a raid blade does fudge all for scoring a bottle. 

Acetone did jack.  barely made the bottle warm. Maybe I need to do a lot more studying and acetone. I should try that tomorrow.

I started putting some shelves together. This still be the end game of something. Hell if I know what. Other than storage. Storage is kinda important.I need storage just to find things. Hell, I don’t even know where the tape measure with a level is. I even just found four W00t Stout.

I might need to look at cutting that shit with the dremel(ish). Patience is not my strong point. 

I looked up some Hayseed Dixie. They covered  The Darkness’ I Believe in a Thing Called Love. Wicked!

I realized I had a problem. Or as many problems as I have planters. The short version is that I need a voltage, going to a probe,  coming back out, through a voltage divider to another pin. For those of us at home, that’s two plus one common pin for all the probes. I think I can get away from that through a lot of sizes and multiplexing, but I need to map that out. For one thing, if I want to alternate current direction, to combat etching, I need a common ground on both ends…
