and on the 5th day, a lil’ after 5 in the evening, but just before dinner, He created…

VACATION.
Sadly, my boss is right. I will not be able to ‘not-work’ on crap around the house.
The drywall mudding is not going according to plan. And I’ve had to re do the frigging server because I’m trying to use spare parts. I’m trying to only work on either before da wife wakes up so as to spend time NOT working on the house together.

Drywall.
at least it’s a ‘put it up there and let it dry until tomorrow’ kind of thing. I just need to figure out what is going on with the mud itself. It just won’t behave. Perhaps it’s not mixed well enough. I’ll find out shortly I’m sure.

Server.
The new hard drive came in from NewEgg. The problem I ran into is that the SATA controller card is not compatible with the motherboard I’ve been using on the server. My intent was to change the motherboard out with another that I have, but after the replacement capacitors got in. It does not appear that it is going to work out that way. I’m currently once again installing linux on the server. It should go relatively smoothly this time. I’ll just have to see what new mistakes I can come up with this time. :)
On the plus side, DAMN that drive is fast and quiet. The electrical hum of the monitor is louder than the drive.
