More server crashes today…
it seems that the processor itself is the problem.

Signed Aya in for the language school from november on.
I hope that she’ll decide to come…
Kiss you, darling.

30th may 1999

Compiled Apache1.3.6 again with PHP3.0.8 and IMAP+SSL-Support now
working ! YEAH !!!
Configured TWIG (a fabulous eMail-Webfrontend with almost the same
features like Outlook)
and installed everything new compiled on www.stun.de.

Facts of the day:
– SSL now works with our own certificate,
– IMAP(TWIG) works with SSL-Connections,
– more Admin Howto’s written,
– Boogie Database Code Updates (now with auto indexing + improved
database access),
– fixed some script-errors which occured since the RH6 upgrade,
(what are they doing ?)

Talked to Uli on the phone who experienced some trouble when
compiling gtk+ with gimp.

Called to Aya and she seemed to busy and tired again…. go on
work, work, work,
some people need their time to get wiser.

Making MD for Aya and CD for Tomo.

29th may 1999

Lazy day, just enjoying the BBQ in my garden.

28th may 1999

Called to school if they also have holidays. They don’t !

27th may 1999

More than good day for me.

Received Aya’s school papers, finally.
Thanks, that’s what I needed to loose my nervousity.

Invited my parents for dinner.

No programming

26th may 1999

Can’t remember, sorry.

25th may 1999

Wrote some scripts to fill the boogie database automatically.

Gave some hints to RedHat 6.0 Bugzilla, concerning RAID
problems
after upgrading.

Hotmail seems to be crashed AGAIN ??? ))) (OS-Problem ???)
Damn, I need this to stay in contact with my beauty.
(maybe yesterdays letter fault)

And I’m still waiting for Aya’s translation papers… HEY WHAT ARE
YOU DOING ???

24th may 1999

Holiday.
Aya wrote me a long letter, and I wrote a really long letter back
to her.

Tried to compile Apache again with SSL in addition, and
guess.
It failed… Grrrrrrrrrrrrr…………..
(maybe it’s just because lack of diskspace)
The 6.0 update is eating up my drives. And I install very
selective.

23th may 1999

Repaired my Raid after a failed upgrade of Redhat 5.2 to 6.0.
The new 0.90 raidtools don’t know the old raidpartitions,
and the bloody RPM deleted my old ckraid and raidrun
commands.
So it was a little bit tricky the get back my disks.
(But I’m sure that I’m not the only.)

22th may 1999

Downloaded the whole RedHat 6.0 via Rsync.
Hey I love that tool. Kill FTP.

Installed MySQL on www.stun.de.

Installed the boogie database on www.stun.de.

Wrote some new admin pages for MySQL and PHP3 on www.stun.de.

21th may 1999

Extracted all the boogie bio’s from the old HTML pages.

Compiled Apache with PHP3 and MySQL support, which now, finally
works
without errors. Transferred everything to www.stun.de.

20th may 1999

Wrote the PHP3 code for displaying the boogie woogie players
biographies
out of the MySQL database. And it works fine (after some
tuning).

19th may 1999

Upgraded the RC5-proxies to 3.06 and also some clients which now
can
switch to OGR as well.

18th may 1999

Compiled 2.2.9 kernel on zuse1 and www.stun.de

Played around with the setiathome package, but it seems they
compiled
without proxy support. Bad luck, maybe next version.

17th may 1999

Stress day. Three Server crashes within the same hour.
Discovered wrong configured encapsulations for hot standby
routing.

16th may 1999

Emergency at work, our backbones need help.

15th may 1999

Weekend Work… ((
Power shutdown at work, and Reconfiguration of a netware
server.

14th may 1999

Prepared the power shutdown for tomorrow.

13th may 1999
Had to work on this holy day, but thanks god nothing more
then a couple of server crashs and in the meantime found
some quiet minutes to study more japanese vocabulary.
Also found out how to fix my BTTV problem, which crashes
the whole machine after 10-25 minutes, and DESTROYS
my Soft-RAID !!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
(So all folks of you with the same problem try loading
bttv with TRITON1=1 and it should be fixed, hopefully,
because I’m 100 pc sure not to own a Triton board…)
Kernelpatch 2.2.8 arrived at home, but had no time yet to
patch and compile.

12th may 1999
Continued burning CD’s while playing the japanese version
of Bushido Blade II on my playstation. Hey I love that game,
it’s rather bloody but who cares….
Talked with Reyk on the phone and it looks like we agreed
a new date of installation for the FFM-Server, YES FFM again
!
We’re also thinking of using Soft-RAID with 9GB disks,
but I’m scared about power shortage problems.
Met with Tom and Gerd at O’Reillys Irish Pub, thought that
Reyk and Babsi would join, but they didn’t ? What’s up ?

11th may 1999
Big burning day, so many japanese CD’s )))
Blasted Muckis playstation when installing the mc, but I’m
sure
not to be responsible, because someone already tried this
before, according to the soldering points.

10th may 1999
Free day, because of my coming emergency support week.
Did big big big big big big big shopping….expensive too,
just for food.
Worked in our garden, cleaning the roof and finished the day
in chinese restaurant across the street. Yammi.

9th may 1999
Called Aya this morning 3AM my time, 10AM japan time,
but she doesn’t seem to have much time for me. ((( Heiki ?
Demonstrated MD to my parents, and totally fascinated they
want this to be their xmas present this year… hmmm… ok.
Throw away that tape stuff, throw away old records.
Time for small smart mini discs.

8th may 1999
Converted lots of CD’s and MP3 songs to MiniDisc, especially
all the Japan songs, to get karaoke feeling for my morning
shower ))
Called to Aya as every Saturday, but she said that she feels
bad and tired, and I should call her in the morning. Odaiji ni
!

7th may 1999
Made a complete backup of our MP3 server to ZIP media,
which is very hard work ! Don’t try this, it’s easier to
connect
a cd-recorder directly instead.
Burned 3 new MP3-CD’s at home, so now the FPS collection
counts 15 MP3 CD’s all together. 250 hours of music ))))

6th may 1999

Reyk is ill, and can not join the Linux show.
The Microsoft presentation of Windows 2000 was pretty
impressive, but Linux bored so much because of
incompetence sf the speaker.
I think he has never seen Linux before.
I already had my doubts when I saw Powerpoint as
the presentation software. ))

But anyway, a nice start for the day.
And also a nice present of the company, a big analog
clock, made in china, which is 5 minutes two fast
within two hours. But maybe it changes when the
batteries are going low. ))

Ate Sushi to get back that japanese feeling

5th may 1999

Some problems with our 3.11 SFT-III server at work,
I wonder how they’ll get this machine into Y2K ?

Bought a MD-recorder today. Also something that
disturbed my inner peace since Japan.
Aya tried to convince me to buy MD in Japan, and
Albert also tried, but at that time I could resist.
OK, Aya you won !!! Kiss !
Expect some MD-exchange the next weeks

Wanted to buy a dbox which makes it possible to
watch digital-TV and to see more foreign(english)
TV-stations. But it’s so expensive without signing
a contract for the additional use of PAY-TV.
So now it’s easy. KAP will give me Sat-Stuff on
Friday I guess, so that I can test a little bit.
There’s also japanese (PAYTV) on Astra I heard.
I think about it, for you Aya, if you need ?
Anyway I do….

4th may 1999

Got invitation for Linux and Microsoft trade show from Tom
at his company for 6th may.

Bought a CD-recorder today, and I’m so happy to get back
my valuable space on harddisk.

Searched for video-stores that sell or are able of ordering
japanese videos. But bad luck for today.

3rd may 1999

Wrong alarm again. My coworker still is not father yet.

2nd may 1999

Compiled Linux 2.2.7 on my system and on www.stun.de.
And hurray !!!
My CD-changer is now supported, which forced me to
reactivate the bloody IDE interfaces on board.

1st may 1999

Started the barbeque for this year in our garden.
It would have been something nice for you Aya ! ))

Had a nice cocktail party with Tom, and we cooked
together.

Called to Aya tonight, and she wants to send me her
translated documents. Sounds nice. I love you !

30th april 1999

Our biggest Novell server crashed today.
I never saw this: The system generated more and more
filelocks until almost every user was locked out.
Nice. (I guess this to be a feature of our increasing
number of NT machines ??? Who’ll join ?)

29th april 1999

Ordered my playstation MOD-Chip so that I can play
japanese games as well as “backups”

Met with Reyk for eating japanese noodle-soup “Ramen”
and some sushis for dessert went on to O’Reillys
Irish Pub, and we drunk a lot, after that we visited
Schuhmanns for some nice cocktails &-} Oh my head !!!

28th april 1999

Nice server crash after we tried a volume repair on
a machine that lacks memory.

27th april 1999

I thought that software piracy is finally gone with
a compact system, but NOPE !
Try searching the web for MOD-CHIPS )))))
and additional hardware is becoming more and more,
like: trainers, pads, guns, vcd-players, mega-memory
cards, …

26th april 1999

My coworker thought he would become father today,
but it was wrong alarm.

Successfully fascinated Tom of my new playstation.
But he said he doesn’t play anymore… ok I said the
same in the last three years )
No more crashed systems, no more driver problems,
no expensive hardware… cool ! That’s plug and play !
anyway he seemed to enjoy some of the games, and
especially if he got the good vibrations !

25th april 1999

Found out more about playstation.
How to repair and laser tuning… they’re all crazy !
Bought Civilization II for playstation.

Slept the whole day. 24 hours Jetlag ?

19th april 1999

Arrived back in Munich airport, one hour too late.
My parents picked me up, and I was so sleepy.

My phone bill balanced well, because I could
save money the last three weeks. (And I pulled
the plug out of my machine in holiday.
Just in case, you know !)

Got a letter from Naoko, thanks !
And I had to hear that she visited munich in the
begin of april… AHHHH !!!! Damn !
Sorry, it would have been so nice to meet you again.
Maybe next time ? Or in Japan, together with Aya ?

I miss Japan, and being surrounded by japanese people.
Whenever I see someone japanese I try to get closer
and listen what they say. But my japanese is anything
more than better since my visit. HELP !!!

Again a server crash, but who cares, netware is promised
dead and it’s Bill’s turn now.

More DNS entries today, and I think their concept also
leeks. If they do round robin, they’ll get surprise…
…but let’s see if they find out themselves.

Had no contact to Aya for 42 hours, which made it a really
bad day too.

Configured Raid-5 on one single harddisk just for testing
repair capabilities.
And wonder….
RedHat starts and stops them without having configured
anything.

which “makes it a little bit better.”
Go to /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_sack enter 0
Go to /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_timestamps enter 0
Go to /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_window_scaling enter 0

Last day at work, after a nice server crash.
Had a meeting how to upgrade all servers to 100MB ethernet.
But finished the time at work with a cool guiness )))

BIG SECURITY ALERT: Linux-WORM found.
See RedHat’s Linux-Security Newsgroup for details.

Quit church finally. So much trouble in office just for
one easy step. Unbelievable. I had to go to three people
and into 5 different rooms.

Played a little bit on our 622MB ATM testing network.
And discovered some nice IPX trouple with old revision
boards.

NATO attacks Serbia, and german pilots have to join for

Kernel patch 2.2.4 released, but had no time for update yet.

Everything on my local machine (except Root-Boot, I’m not tough
enough

Compiled and installed kernel 2.2.3 for WWW.Stun.de,
updated lots of RPMs and wrote some new pages for the Admins.
Everyone has his own server-statistics-graph now !

Hey, someone give me a one or two 4 GB drive and we switch to Raid1

Listened to my japanese learning CD, and slept in. Sorry.

Raid-5 destruction-and-rebuild test was successful, but is

But I also miss one additional harddrive to switch to Raid-5.

Redesigning my system partitions, to match Raid-1 mirroring,

Again a server crash, but who cares, netware is promised
dead and it’s Bill’s turn now.

More DNS entries today, and I think their concept also
leeks. If they do round robin, they’ll get surprise…
…but let’s see if they find out themselves.

Had no contact to Aya for 42 hours, which made it a really
bad day too.

Configured Raid-5 on one single harddisk just for testing
repair capabilities.
And wonder….
RedHat starts and stops them without having configured
anything.
That’s nice guys…. how long is that code in rc.system and
K99halt now ? I’ve never seen before.

Kernel 2.2.2 tcp timeout problems seems solved.
For those who can’t wait for patchfix here’s a small
workaround,
which “makes it a little bit better.”
Go to /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_sack enter 0
Go to /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_timestamps enter 0
Go to /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_window_scaling enter 0

If you even can’t download the 2.2.3 version, because of

GIMP runs again. Wow.

Updated all ADSM clients of our servers at work and did
finish
the most OS patches and library updates that are necessary
for
Year 2000 compliance.
But I think there will be some more patches even after Year
2000.

Surprised by updating PC-BIOS which seems to have destroyed
the
harddisks partition table. Never seen that before.
System partition boots. DOS partition even after fdisk /mbr
reactivating, sys a: c: and some other tools cannot force the
drive to boot. What’s up here ?
Any hints ?

11th february 1999

Fighted with a netware server which doesn’t want to work 100 MB

It’s official now, I’m the “one” (poor one) (armes Schwein)
that
is responsible for making every netware server in the company
ready for the next millenium.
A hint for all people with the same “order”:
Don’t try to migrate more than five servers a day, you’ll
start
making mistakes. Suddenly human again. I know that now.

Two of the three stale servers are stable again, but we need
more
hardware for swapping, that’s because there’s already the next
weak
machine.

Got 100 MB and 16 MB together working now in a 3.12 machine,
which had severe library problems with IPXRTR.NLM.

The first day I can feel harmony again, Aya didn’t start
working
and I think we’re both happy now.

3rd february 1999

Oh god, what a day !
Three netware servers damaged at once.
One defective motherboard, two SIMM chips and a very obscure

Worked 14 hours today. That’s enough for me.
But my colleagues worked 22 yesterday and stayed at home for

Now who’s baaka ? I think it’s me.

Had no time to learn japanese today, and I’m missing Aya so

Configured some firewall stuff.
Patched Arcserve and some netware servers to become Y2K

Learned a lot new japanese sentences and grammar.

Called to Aya and felt happy after I heard her voice.
Aya called me back four hours later and I felt very sad

(What are you doing with me girl !)

Talked to Reyk about the FFM server (soon the MUC server),

7th february 1999

Downloaded kernel 2.2.1 and the RedHat 5.2 to kernel 2.2 upgrade
RPM’s.
But I don’t dare to install now. INET connection is to important
at
the moment.

More eMails. And japanese learning !
Now learning how to write Kana !

6th february 1999

Finally reached my long weekend.

glibc 2.1 has been released, and the big surprise:
StarOffice 5.0 doesn’t work with it ! Perfect ! (

Wrote many eMails to Aya and we tried to meet in chat.

5th february 1999

Did not fix the problem on a netware server which displays
symbol errors after every update I made. I hate that !
I need RPM for netware ? Somewhere hacking in progress ???

Changed my holiday to be in Japan in April !

It’s official now, I’m the “one” (poor one) (armes Schwein)
that
is responsible for making every netware server in the company
ready for the next millenium.
A hint for all people with the same “order”:
Don’t try to migrate more than five servers a day, you’ll
start
making mistakes. Suddenly human again. I know that now.

Two of the three stale servers are stable again, but we need
more
hardware for swapping, that’s because there’s already the next
weak
machine.

Got 100 MB and 16 MB together working now in a 3.12 machine,
which had severe library problems with IPXRTR.NLM.

The first day I can feel harmony again, Aya didn’t start
working
and I think we’re both happy now.

3rd february 1999

Oh god, what a day !
Three netware servers damaged at once.
One defective motherboard, two SIMM chips and a very obscure
problem with a harddisk array.

Worked 14 hours today. That’s enough for me.
But my colleagues worked 22 yesterday and stayed at home for
today.
Now who’s baaka ? I think it’s me.

Had no time to learn japanese today, and I’m missing Aya so
much.

2nd february 1999

Had so much work to do today, I could shout !
Configured some firewall stuff.
Patched Arcserve and some netware servers to become Y2K
compliant.

Learned a lot new japanese sentences and grammar.

Called to Aya and felt happy after I heard her voice.
Aya called me back four hours later and I felt very sad
again.
(What are you doing with me girl !)

Talked to Reyk about the FFM server (soon the MUC server),
and after that talked to Tom about his upcoming MCSE exam
on friday.

1st february 1999

Had to fight with some SNA problems on a AIX machine…

Upgraded to 434 RC5 clients and 304 perproxy.

Downloaded some japanese songs in MP3 format, but they are all
encrypted.
Maybe some decryption time tomorrow

Wrote six eMails to my love. Ganbatte kudasai.

jwotd: (aishiteru/I love you.)

To make my japanese learning more
efficient here’s my
(new “jwotd”: japanese word of the day)
to bad that I can’t view you the kanji version too.
But I think the unicode guys are working on it.
