At first glance I thought my CV boots were torn. Turns out that I had just glanced under the car quickly and was actually looking at the protective boots for my steering rack. Still a big deal, but less of a big deal than the CV boots.

Thank the media for the traffic jam.
If yesterday’s truck accident wasn’t bad enough, rubberneckers and news crews caused a huge tieup and traffic jam hours after the accident was completely cleaned up yesterday. During rush hour on the commute home, dozens of reporters, multiple news vans, satellite vans and state troopers were still camped out in the grass at the junction of Routes 128 and 93 in Woburn yesterday evening.
The resulting gridlock made getting onto Route 93 North impossible traffic was at a complete standstill. There was absolutely no reason for the news crews to still be there because there was no news to report. No accident. No truck. No fire. Just traffic. And, to add insult to injury, I can’t even find any coverage of the evening rush hour on the local news sites. So the news crews caused a traffic jam for no reason whatsoever.

The Snap Server 2200 isn’t worth the plastic it’s housed in…
Our Snap Server 2200 has failed for the third time in 12 months resulting in total data loss. The first time was due to a software hiccup where the disk lost its drive configuration. The second and third times were due to physical disk failure. Since the disk was configured for RAID0 (striping), a single disk failure meant total data loss. I was aware of this while configuring it so it didn’t come as a big shock…although three failures in 12 months is rather surprising for the self-proclaimed global leader in network storage systems.
That’s why the appliance was being used as a dumping grounds for crap that wasn’t mission critical but was nice to have around like installers, old data snapshots, random tarballs that had already been dumped to tape or CD, etc. Since the system had already failed previously, it was no longer trusted and treated as such: a gyroscopic paperweight.
