A Day Late

Both my students are gone on vacation which leaves the weekly system backup in my hands. So, here I am on a perfectly good Friday night, loading tapes. Ok, I’ll be honest it’s not like I’d be doing anything better if I didn’t have to work. Now I’m left with the dilemna of what to do for the next four hours (9pm-1am). I thought about renting a movie but I can’t think of much I want to see right now. I bought a new book the other day, Linux Server Hacks, and haven’t had much time to look through it so that’s an option. I’ll probably end up working on my powerbook. I need to setup a simple script using rsync and ssh to synchronize my public web folder on the server with a directory on my powerbook, but I’m guessing that’ll take all of 15 minutes. I just remembered I didn’t eat dinner, so a walk down to Wendy’s, or the DQ (”always a place for me at the DQ”, those who can name that movie get extra points) or one of the many other eating establishments might be called for. Ah the joys of working the Friday night backup shift. Although it’s not something I like to do on a regular basis I have to admit it’s nice to have the place to myself.
