So they take down a guy’s machine that I admin for him, leading me into three days of system administration hell. Now fixed. Annoying as all get out.

Props to the folks at Voxel who helped immensely and got the server back up and reinstalled in no time at all. Much love to Raj, Derek, John, and Mattias.

Change is good…
