I’m trying to cope with the loss of our wonderful boy. All I managed to pen were these words that I emailed to www.danerescue.net.
To the folks at GDRNT:
It is with great sadness that I am informing you that our Dane Dill passed away this morning. We adopted him from Great Dane Rescue in 2001 and we have never known a dog more wonderful than him. We are very grateful to all those who have made GDRNT possible and want to thank you for bringing this gentle giant into our lives.
They’re out! They started making a showing last weekend. The earliest of the bloomers are the red Asiatics…the yellow Asiatics started popping out about 2 days later. Hot on their heels are the Lollipops, with their creamy centers rimmed with rose pink.
Blargh…looks like a problem with the form plugin this site is using. I’m troubleshooting the problem, and I’ll hopefully get it back up and running soon.
I heard some disturbing hard drive noise from the server over the last week. I began to suspect imminent failure, but the click of doom was too intermittent and unusual sounding to indicate a hard drive failure. Just this week I began experiencing issues browsing the server using RDP. A defrag didn’t help speed things up…Windows Explorer would hourglass and take a very long while to open folders and navigate through directories. A big concern.
I checked task manager and discovered TSVNCache.exe sitting in the top 10 list…so I Googled up the process and discovered it was quite a cpu/memory hog. I ended the process right away and Windows Explorer was back to its zippy self.
I still have to perform some diagnostics on the server this weekend after a lightning strike blew the UPS up. My workstation setup is currently running on surge protectors.
