20 30 mph

11:35pm Thursday 23 August 2001

Today near the end of my time at work, while I was getting some programming done, the pager beeped. The pager that should have been with Dave, but that he left on his desk. For some reason, the web server checker thought the web server was down, and paged 911-911-911 on the pager.

The server is up and responding quickly. I don't know what the problem was. However, I was being paged consistently every 30 minutes. Turns out there's a 30 minute server checker, and it will trigger every 30 minutes until it's reset. Unfortunately, one has to go in to work to reset it.

So I rode my bike to work to fix it. I determined that it's just a tad over 5 miles to work. I think that's correct. I didn't specifically time it, but I remember I turned over 130,000 miles in my car on my way to work; I was almost there, and now I have 130,007 miles on my car.

I got to work in 13 minutes, according to Wende timing me. (I called her when I arrived). That's better than 20 miles per hour!

I left work and arrived back at the house in 11 minutes. That's just about 30 miles per hour!!!

Wow wow wow. So at some point I will more carefully determine the mileage between home and work, but for now, wow. 30 miles per hour on my bike seems pretty awesomely fast.

Super duper thanks to Maggie tonight for trying to get Wende's computer working. Maggie wasn't able to get it resuscitated.
