"14 great Cthulhu toys that make devouring souls fun"

Have any of you not seen SciFi Wire's list of 14 great Cthulhu toys that make devouring souls fun?

Hey, fmsv - you going to get the Cthulhu Plush Christmas Wreath?

For anyone who's a fan of Niven's Kzinti AND Lolcats

Baen Books is having a LolKzin contest. Make a LolKzin out of the cover image for one of their Man-Kzin books, and win a print.

The editors of Baen Books will be the judges. Entries will be judged on originality, sophisticated word play (yes, we mean puns) and overall fun factor.
Winner will receive a Man-Kzin print autographed by the artist, Stephen Hickman. The creator of the bestselling Man-Kzin Wars series, Larry Niven, disclaims any responsibility for this contest.

PSA: Server work at fireopal.org

I'm going to be upgrading my server from Debian Etch (4.0) to Debian Lenny (5.0) over the next two days.

This involves at least one (but probably only one) system reboot - I got a new kernel as part of this.

If you see any problems, first try e-mailing me directly at sraun@fireopal.org. If that bounces, try fyreopal@gmail.com - I don't check the G-Mail account with any regularity, but I'll try to do so between now and Sunday evening.

PSA: fireopal.org is down

That was unpleasant.

In mid-upgrade, the disk space in use was slowly going down, and then it leapt up to 100%. And the upgrade died. And now the system is unbootable. I think there's file system corruption problem.

I'm currently downloading a Debian Live Rescue CD ISO. It's got an hour plus to go - since it's 8:25 my time, and I'm already feeling tired, I'm afraid I'm not going to be working on it any more tonight. I'll burn the ISO when I get up tomorrow, and deal with it then.
