Site Down

Last night just before the midnight, there’s power outage in the area lasting for almost 30 minutes. After that, the server stopped running due to some unknown reasons. I worked for over 2 hours to get nowhere. Finally I gave up and went to sleep entirely dissatisfied.

The server is running a few sites one of which is for the students. Whenever there’s such an accident causing disruption of services, I felt burdened by the inconvenience imposed on other people. That is a kind of burden that would dissuade me from continue the public site. Any loss of data or stoppage of services on a personal level is one thing, the same on the public level is quite another. Day by day I cannot but feel the responsibilities imposed on my shoulders to take good care of the server and the data stored therein.

Why the hell am I doing this to make my already busy days more difficult to cope with? I ask myself several times whenever the like accident occurs. Yet I cannot deny that once the server goes back to normal, I feel happy and satisfied again. Probably I am addicted to this wired fantasy and become too sick to get myself out of it.

Well, what the hell. Just do it as long as I can afford it. If one day I cannot go on, there must be some alternative solutions to that.
