Call me kooky

I finaly got around to getting a UPS for the server.  Prices dropped and I have the time to deal with it….. which I needed.  First, I forgot the outlet in the other room was buried so I had to shuffle things around to get to the outlet.  Then I went ahead and setup a raid1 on the server and dusted the poor thing along with some cable management.  Much to my annoyance, linux wanted to resync blank drives…. for three fucking hours.  And apcupsd wouldn’t work.  Once the sync was done, I could reboot the machine and test my settings for apcupsd which didn’t work.  Turns out debian doesn’t create the hiddev entries by default (old debian) so apcupsd couldn’t even talk to the UPS.  Then there was some stupid bullshit option in the kernel that needed to be enabled…… and I broke iptables (needed for ds wireless!).  I compiled the kerenel more yesterday than I have for several years but everything seems to be working now.

whoooo?
