sigma7 | Nice rack

So, a few weeks and $3K later, we've got the new server, name of Molly. Not that the DNS is set up for her, though, because to do that, I'd need to e-mail the campus DNS people, and to do that, I'd need to be able to login to my campus e-mail, which I haven't been able to do for the better part of a year now. (The "reset password" function allows me to set a new password, but I can't seem to login with it. The IT Halp Desk warns me that they're also upgrading the server today, so it'll probably be 5 pm before my manually-reset password takes.)

To make matters worse...no, not worse, just...annoying, the server rack back in the deep dark closet is a Belkin, which...is fine, I guess. Except that the rails that came with the server won't fit inside it. I disassembled a few of the Belkin rack's rails and tried to get the server to play nice with them, but that has met with profound abject failure so far. And I seem to shock myself every time I touch the server. That's not good.

So I think I'll just amuse myself by setting up the server, adding the staff directory, configuring blogs and wikis. Hee. I like wikis.
