MySQL 5.0

Setting up an import of Ensembl into MySQL 5.0.x - the first time I've built a database from the flat file dumps (in nearly 6 years) - set it going before 9.00 this morning and it's still going - (it's on to e) couldn't get MyISAM to work at all - but now trying InnoDB although Mart has tickled a max blocksize "buglet" - looks like we can't use a a stock mysqld but will have to compile ourselves argh! Currently appox 120G through 500G of data to importatn

Crashing servers and County competition

Today was the start of County Competition for the Scouts - this year we have four teams in the competition - hoping the forecast is wrong as I'm on the bottom end of a high ropes course safety line all day!

Day started off bad with having to rush around after rebooting web-2 for the guys at work! caught it within 10 minutes of the problem - but still couldn't see what it was aargh!
