Archive for October, 2005This morning started well. I woke up this morning, as I do most mornings, to find that Anthony had been up and playing for quite some time. His first words to me were "Daddy, I have poopy." This was a good thing.

However, the simple reboot wasn't so simple. It turns out that the BIOS option to "turn machine on when power restored after a power failure" didn't work, and so the machine sat powered off for a week until someone could actually visit the colo to power it back on.
