(well, planned for me but unplanned for you ;-)

I am taking two days off from work to both celebrate my 30th birthday --
let the mocking commence -- and also to build out the oldskool network
Mark II.  I am going to migrate a shitload of stuff from all of my
various machines over to the new fileserver that I assembled, bring
ftp.oldskool.org back online, decommission some old boxes, and other
stuff.  Most importantly, I'm going to install a regular backup
procedure with monthly fulls and daily incrementals.  At some point, I
will move www.oldskool.org into my house and transfer all of my DNS and
MX stuff off of berkhirt.com.  

Needless to say, there will be downtime of some things during this
migration.  (*EXCEPT* the mailing lists -- those will continue to work
fine.)

And the fileserver?  Technology is a beautiful thing.  I never thought
I'd own something like this:

[root@vault /root]# df -k
Filesystem           1k-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1              1007880    815308    141376  86% /
/dev/sda5              7408392     32880   7375512   1% /usr/local
/dev/sdb5             67109416     32840  67076576   1% /big
/dev/sdb6            108724564     32840 108691724   1% /bigger

No, you are not misplacing a zero; that's about 200 gigabytes of
storage.  Welcome to the wonderful world of 3ware's IDE RAID card and
cheap drives.  Finally the "I" in "RAID" is a reality.

Anyway, if you don't hear from me in a couple of days, this is why. 
Sorry for the lengthy message.  I'll still be here, you can email me and
everything, but I won't have a chance to reply until maybe Monday or
Tuesday of next week.
