(This was at work. That message wouldn't have had a prayer of making it to my inbox at home.)
The sun is going down right now, and I finally noticed it was getting rather dark in my living room.

This is my employer's ISP.
They're in the next office park over.

We've had a periodic problem on a set of identical Dell PowerEdge 2550s where top bombs out with a floating point exception. I first suspected that the kernel had become out of sync with the userland (by the latter being upgraded but the former not), or even that I had installed a new kernel but [...]
Where the fuck do you edit PATH under XP?
