The plot thickens…

So my machine’s back… mysteriously.

But the uptime says it’s been on for 5 days (remember 5 days ago?) so something else must have happened.

Did the network cable become unplugged or something?

Someone better fess up, I hope this isn’t a repeating problem (i.e. a burnt out network card.)

[random cursing]

My Linux machine has died again.

I don’t know why, all I know is that it stopped responding to pings, yet the gateway still is up, so the power’s still on in the room.

Looks like I’ve got an interesting evening ahead of me.

WHY ME! DAMMIT! ARGH! Is it too much to ask for something that DOESN’T BREAK! I’m not even messing with it! I’m not installing new hardware, I’m not installing new software… I even gave up on trying to get the printer working again!

ARGH!
