techlog

This page is to be used for a log of tech "issues", as they come up. It is different from the "changeblog" in that a) it it for internal use ONLY (staff, sysadmin, webmin) and b) we should make note of any and all problems/ concerns here. Use the "changeblog" to publish larger changes, use the "techlog" to make note of daily weirdness.

DSL badness and new POP

yesterday, upstream connection was worse than ever. When I contacted WN, they gave me the new POP co-ordinates and things improved significantly. Mongoose load-ballancing now needs to be tweaked.

tweak

DSLreports.com reported d/l speeds of 72k and u/l of 142k.
For science, I set the WAN1 man u/l to 800k, and d/l to 3000k.. now testing..
d/l = 641
u/l = 134
.. hmm .. improved !

POP connection dropping

this morning Seneca observed outages. On reviewing mongoose logs, it was seen that the POP connection was lost over a dozen times, within a two hour period. I have sent word to WN, and am awaiting a reply.

WN visits

Steve and Damien came in for a visit, and to check things out. We swapped a DSL filter and (of course) everything behaved nicely while they were here.

Hawk down again

last night, Seneca set up a dd of Karinas disk (to hawk) and this morning hawk won't boot (won't get past "Loading OS")

moonbase bandwidth limits approaching

recieved email notification from moonbase that we have hit the 80% mark.
I replied that the bulk of the traffic was googlebots and we would be restricting that traffic. As well, there are only two days left in the month, and that I thought (sans bots) our package will hold for a bit

server room cable clean-up

Wrestled snakes, for a while, in the basement.
Tamed a few, hope I didn't screw anything up.
