Episode 155: Hajime the Chaos

I am going to call this week’s episode the miracle episode. I call it this because it was the episode that almost didn’t happen. Ichigo let me know that he needed me to do the show cause he was going to be busy this last weekend, well that is normally all good and fine, except this time I was chillin with a 102 fever and a case of strep throat. Throw on top of that, that I accepted a new job, and then the icing on the cake the site goes down and this time it wasn’t getting back up before the 10 count. Ichigo really broke it this time, oh sure he claims it was the hosting company, but we all know Ichigo broke it. So with the site down, well the server, there was no email, couldn’t send out the email for the recording. We managed to get around that, I got better another hurtle cleared. Hell I even got Tim and Weltall on the show too. So with out further ado, the miracle on anime st. episode 155, go listen and enjoy.

I didn’t think anything of it until I noticed that the server was down when I checked at 9 AM Friday. I sent a support ticket and they told me that upon restart of the server (note that we’re on a VPS on a very, very large RAID array) it required a fsck.
