Three Things Make A Post

Thing #1

It looks like my Windycon schedule is in flux. More details when I have them.

Thing #2

I have a lot of remote monitoring turned on for my work network. Last night, one of the servers monitored had a millisecond-long hiccup which spit out an alert. If I hadn't had the alerts turned on, I wouldn't have known about it. I did so I did, but it proved to be a non-problem. Sometimes monitoring systems has you chasing ghosts.

Thing #3

I lit off the fireplaces in my house last night. I did this for a couple of reasons, one of which was as an experiment. When I first moved to Chicago, my apartment lost power during a spring snowstorm. I was just about ready to abandon it for a hotel due to lack of heat when the power came back on. Even if you have gas heat (which I did) no power means no heat. So, the first thing I bought when I moved to my first house was a kerosene heater, just in case. So, last night, I tested to see if the gas fireplaces could heat the building. Yes, but not terribly well, is the answer.
