Moving of server seems to go quite well. There were some outages for users during night because of too big TTL in DNS, but after setting up redirector at old IP during morning, this should not be a problem. Now only few hosted sites were still unable to change their DNS settings, but it's not my problem :-).
On the other hand, it looks that moving server to new server room will have some positive effect on it's health:
This night, long delayed operation has been done and server which gives you this page has been moved to another server room. It should bring a bit better conditions for server and you should not notice this except short outage in this night till all DNS caches on the way will will update their records. This is a theory and lets see what problems will appear tomorrow morning ;-).
Při psaní minulého zápisku o fungování pošty , jsem ani nedoufal, že by mi peníze mohly dorazit v dohledné době a počítal jsem spíš s dalšími pár měsíci. Ale při pohledu na transakce na účtě jsem s překvapením zjistil, že se neuvěřitelné stalo skutečností - po pouhém půl roce mi dorazily peníze za dobírku. Teď jsem jenom zvědavý až mi přijde výsledek reklamace a jestli se z něj dozvím jestli chyba byla na české nebo slovenské straně hranic :-).
Update: Tak oznámení o výsledku reklamačního řízení jsem našel dnes ve schránce - reklamace je odůvodněná, omlouváme se Vám. Zásilka byla dodána 10. 1. 2008. Dobírková částka byla opětovně zaslána 10. 6. 2008.
Why the hell do I have to hit various obscure pieces of code today? Current winner is part of system-config-printer:
def monitor_session (*args):
pass
try:
bus = dbus.SessionBus()
bus.add_signal_receiver (monitor_session)
except:
print >> sys.stderr, "%s: failed to connect to session D-Bus" % \
PROGRAM_NAME
sys.exit (1)
If you don't know D-Bus or Python: It listens to all signals on session bus and does nothing with them. All this code causes is eating up memory and CPU cycles when there is some higher load on session bus.
PS: Maybe I miss some nice idea behind this code, please enlighten me.
Okay, I will again miss DebConf. This time it is not because of time, but because of money. The flight to Buenos Aires is far too expensive to go there just for DebConf and I didn't manage to plan some more travelling around South America...
Hopefully it will get better next year, at least DebConf will be much closer :-).
PS: Just after deadline for confirmation and my decision for not going there, I got an email that my sponsorship for travel was approved. Unfortunately too late to change my decision.
