A day off... hmmm... that is a new concept... I typically work 8 days a week
(Its like 4 something in the morning now) ...  I have thought of creating a
clone to do all the extra work so I could take off time from time to time,
but realized that if I made the clone just like me, it would revolt and
refuse to do more work that I did.  Still might get twice as much work done
though and collaboration would be kind of neat as we could bounce ideas off
of each other and have a clue what we were thinking.  I have problems
getting others to think like I do sometimes.

This would be hard to replicate offline as it is the interaction of the live
site and the server that causes it.  It is/was wierd how it would sometimes
work great, and then bam, nothing worked.

I would think that if you have access to the raw server logs for the site it
might give you a clue though.

I did some searching on the site which was causing it before and it seems to
be gone now so that is good.

It does help sometimes to have a development site so you can experiment and
test before moving over to production though.  I did that on the last
upgrade as I wanted to see what a completely new install looked like and
then slowly moved over the other sections of the site until I had it back
up.  I then just switched the sites.

Having access to the OS and the use of ZFS makes it a lot easier though.
