Just what I need...

...though, in the final analysis, it's not a big deal.

Something must have happened to the configuration of Alice, the Linux box at the front of the store, because it will not talk to anything - not even Borg, the machine at the back of the store - even after adding the DSL router as a gateway by hand. (For some reason, linuxconf doesn't seem to want to assign the router's address to the default route.)

The LEDs on the router tell me that some kind of regular communication occurs when I issue a 'ping' from Alice.

At times like this, I feel like a complete idiot, but console myself with the knowledge that Borg can still talk to the world.

Cheers...

Where'd it go?

The weather threatened snow this morning, but it turned out to be an empty threat. To make up for it, the wind howled particularly viciously around the house for the rest of the day.

I'd like to say I got a lot of work done once I got home from the store, but I didn't. I couldn't focus, and then Sasha started having a bad day around 2:30 pm. When she's like this, I basically drop everything and try to calm her down. In the past, she has calmed down pretty quickly, but today was different. By the time everyone came back from the store, I'd done very little in the way of translation.

And to make things even better, I got another 19 pages to translate.

I am going to call it a night and get back on track tomorrow.

Cheers...
