Spike: We got a history, him and me. Fred: What? Spike: It was a long time ago. He was a young Watcher, fresh out of the academy when we crossed paths. It was a, what-you-call battle of wills and blood was spilled. Vendettas were sworn. It was a whole-- Fred: My God you're so full of crap. Spike: Yeah. Okay.

Everything seemed to be fine, except the web server wasn't running. No problems with Plesk. I don't know if they fixed the problem and just didn't restart the server, or if there's still a problem I don't know about.

BTW, I don't have command-line root access any more.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

They temporarily changed the password to let SWSoft in to poke around. Stuff was well and truly jacked up back there, yet somehow we were (mostly) running.

I've instructed them to add you to the ongoing fixit convo, Tom, since I will be out of pocket from this evening. As things stand, it looks like the Plesk upgrade is still partial. Webmail's still down, but it is down in English now.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Hah, I was just going to mention that.

Now I can't get the phrase t cue cheesy German accent "Ve haff freed ourselves from ze Bedouin yoke." out of my head. Lord knows why that even needed an accent.

Especially since it switched from cheesy German to cheesy French midway through...

It's a whole WW2 mishmash in my head. Of course, now I'm going to obsess on how you transliterate the cheesy German "the."

Oy. I should have breakfast.

You can't go wrong with "das" in cheesy German transliteration, even though Bedouins would probably be more than a little upset at being neutered.

move out and draw fire

Ve haff freed ourselfs from der Bedovin yoke.

Though, I like it in French better, for that whole Beau Geste thing.

Anyway - YAY for the board being back! Since I'm probably the only on who was trying to get on between midnight and 4am board time, a good time for Plesk-cleaning. But I was disconcerted.

I was trying to get on, too. It was disconcerting.
