September turned out to be much like August, in that I didn't have much spare time to read. Example: I'm just getting back from a week-long trip to DC. Thus, the month's reading list is a bit thin.
The old server is offline, probably for good. Something more than the fan appears to have gone wrong. I'm currently copying data out of the VMs via a double-nested mount (vmfs-fuse, losetup, and mount). It'll be awhile as, even at 18.5 MB/s, it's taking 2 hours 45 minutes to copy off a 200 GB VM.
The box was missed because both the DMS and the VPN are offline. This made the trip to DC (for work) a bit abysmal in that I could not work on documents. I'm now two weeks behind and the queue is already up to 200+ docs.
The good news is that the Frankenbox will be getting a fanless video card and I'll have a couple 1-inch displays to play with, courtesy of Amazon. I also have the server replacement picked out (just need the funds).
In any case, this past month's reading...
