So I work until 11:30 this evening at a coworker's house, doing boring computer stuff. I hop on the red line and catch the final metro home. As soon as I walk in, I check the internet, and for a lark check my office mail.

The mail server doesn't respond. Grr.

I end up walking over halfway there and catching a cab the rest of the way. I walk into my office to discover: the server is fine. The room is blazing hot, but the computer is okay. Confused, I check the logs and discover that the fix I thought of last time, namely, having the server reboot when it gets too hot, has worked like a charm. Except, of course, that it hasn't cooled down any. I do some tweaking, and then chill out to make sure it doesn't reboot again.

Then I try to catch a cab home. Again, I make it halfway before one appears. Total money lost on cab rides this evening: $20. It makes me wonder why I bothered trying to earn any spare cash.

I'm very tired now. Time to get some well-deserved rest.
