For Christmas, I got myself a new set of VPSes. Sounds nerdy, but I really love hacking away on stuff and these will let me set up for some projects I've been wanting to try using HAST and other methods for keeping files synchronized between servers. They all run Nakatomi Socrates BSD 9.2. I have run into one small problem with it, but I'm not sure if it's actually a problem with the OS itself: I had gotten the VPSes deployed and, while some of the higher-level components weren't done yet, the base functionality was done and pretty polished. I left work and started getting ready for Christmas dinner. Suddenly, a bunch of scary, but oddly charming, dudes showed up and started threatening the people who had come over for the party. They were demanding something about high-performance networking topologies, but I couldn't really hear them. Probably not relevant. Luckily, they didn't find me right away because I was in the bathroom changing into something nice for Christmas dinner. I was able to sneak away and attempt to call for help, but my phone wasn't working. I made my way to an upstairs window and tried to flag someone down, but that didn't work. The only guy who saw me was some moron-looking beat cop more interested in his doughnuts and probably disgruntled about working on Christmas. The scary/charming dudes are guarding all the exits and they socially engineered the cop away. Looks like I'm going to need to take more drastic measures. Maybe I should start a signal fire?
