Blair's Blog

Didja even notice? No, don’t answer that. The blog was off the air for over two weeks due to some kind of oddball failure related to VMWare. This blog is hosted on a virtual machine on a VMWare ESXi host and a VMTools update some how broke the webserver’s ability to do host name resolution. I built a dedicated DNS server to try remedy the situation but that didn’t work. Eventually I just had to rebuild from scratch, thankfully I had good backups from the same day as the failure occurred.
It’s good to be back.
