Fishmeal

General 2004-07-01

One and a half hour ago, I had my first cup of fishmeal mixed with water. It was such a shock I almost vomited, and I still feel it crawling up, trying to get out of my stomache. Not delicate at all. I was aware that the taste and smell was repulsive, but I can’t have mixed it out allright, ‘cause it felt like sand mixed with water. Ugh… oh well, at least I’m prepared for my next cup tomorrow. I’ll be sure to have a good cup of coffee around, then. Now I had only chewing gum, and I assure you that there’s no amount of gum to chew that can instantly make the taste and feel in your body go away. I’m taking it on the recommendation of a father of a friend of mine who’s a nutrition researcher. Together with a couple of tablets, this should help protect my arms and my general wellbeing. I’m quite convinced this is a good thing, but ugh…


RAID

A raid disk failed at work. HP box, RAID controller, replacing the disk was done in a sec:

<br /> ciss0: *** Hot-plug drive removed: SCSI port 1 ID 1<br /> ciss0: *** Hot-plug drive inserted: SCSI port 1 ID 1<br /> ciss0: *** State change, logical drive 0<br /> ciss0: logical drive 0 (da0) changed status interim recovery->ready for recovery, spare status 0x0<br /> ciss0: *** State change, logical drive 0<br /> ciss0: logical drive 0 (da0) changed status ready for recovery->recovering, spare status 0x0<br />

However, going with two IDE disks and FreeBSD’s ATARAID gave not even a panic, just instant boot. Still work to be done.

This site is a good springboard to lots of fun :)


I don’t usually do this, but, since David is such a good bloke:
