Sickness spreads
I felt well enough to go to work today, but neither of my daughters did. I guess whatever bug is making the rounds is currently running around in our house. Let's hope it leaves quickly. The sickness led to a need for comfort food though, which meant that since it was Tuesday we went out to eat at Boston Pizza for their "Pasta Tuesday" where all of their pastas dinners a much cheaper than usual. It would appear, however, that the service is also much slower than usual on Pasta Tuesdays as we had to wait over 30 minutes for our food to arrive. I do not remember ever having to wait that long for our meal before.

Work was interesting today as I finally set into motion the change of disk for the backup catalog. We have been very lucky in the last few weeks that we have not run out of disk space. Of course, it has meant moving or deleting all non-essential files off of that filesystem to make sure we did not run out. The plan is to switch over tomorrow. I must confess to having doubts that we will be done moving the almost 500Gb of data from the current disk to the new one. We have a copy going right now - it would appear that it will take about 24 hours to complete however. And once that one is done we need to shut all activity on the old disk so that we can copy the final changes to the new disk. We are all hoping that the final copy will take less than 4 hours since that is all the time we have to complete the changeover. We shall see.

Good night!
