Hmm, so according to a friend, the El Rey‘s roof fell in, which explains why all the shows have been rescheduled. The Sleater-Kinney show got moved to the Highlands at the monstrosity pinnacle of American culture that is Hollywood & Highland. Incidentally, the Latin Grammy‘s were being held that same night. The traffic was blocked off, but it was rather amusing looking down from the outside balconies and seeing limos coming in but seeing very few people at the barriers. Maybe I shouldn’t lose all hope for humanity yet.
I just got back from the the jazzanova, at Fais Do-Do. Fun, but I left before they finished. Just too tiring of a week.
Earlier this week I spent some looooong hours finishing up some analysis on improving web server performance, and then I was trying to install Gentoo on a work server. The build instructions are very complete, but at the end of it, my compiled kernel just wasn’t finding sda, despite that 1) the live cd’s kernel didn’t have any problems finding it 2) all the SCSI drivers were being built in properly. So, I ended up just installing Red Hat today. The server is a P3/1.26GHz Dell PowerEdge am I’m using it now as a log processing box. I have it processing the past’s months of stats. It’s been going for over 7 hours now, but it’s past the 7GB point. Only a few more left. I’m using Sawmill, but have downloaded Wusage and Funnel to test out as well.
