I spent all Halloween day popping up ceiling tiles in an old building that was built in the 70's. (This is back in the early Noughties). I was pulling network cable from another part of the building. All these creepy black spiders kept falling down on me from inside the ceiling. Then at the end of the day, I went out to the parking lot to have a smoke. (I have since quit smoking, no need to shame me). It was already dark out and I was pondering the irony of a power plant not having lights in the parking lot. Then I noticed the turbine team from Mitsubishi standing there smoking beside me. Japanese gentlemen with white lab coats, hard hats and goggles. As the last dim light from the setting Sun faded over the already spooky scene that is the Salton Sea, I got a chill. Would one of these Mitsubishi folks suddenly point to something in the distance and shriek "Godzilla". Cue the Blue Oyster Cult song from the Seventies and you have a Halloween to remember.

I have several efforts in flight at the moment. All seem stymied by one component failure or another. I cannot afford to retreat entirely. And rarely if ever would I. So how to move forward? Start a new initiative and come back for these later? Or just keep hammering, hammering. Time for more prayer to settle the mind. I have to win over myself to win in these challenges.

Woah! I've been busy playing with Raspberry PI and even Arduino. 14 videos in the Microprocessor playlist on ShotokuTech's YouTube Channel. Did you miss one? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KAgE1-LfX4&list=PLVPBipeObwMOReID4tLMMC0v2AKk3prTR #RaspberryPI #Arduino #Microprocessors

DHCP Failover and Make the Hot Spare the Active Server. My DHCP Failover Lab video was well received. But then they asked what would happen if the active DHCP server failed permanently? How to make the hot spare into the active server and give it another hot spare? I didn't see any ready answers. But I forged ahead anyway. There are a couple of plot twists and a few surprises. But in the end it all works out. https://youtu.be/GRMv_R4L_SI #DHCPFailover #HotSpare #Active
