It's shaping up to be one of those weeks. Today was particularly annoying with hassle coming from all quarters. It was made worse by not having the car so I had to traipse half a mile across town with a laptop in tow to deliver to an ungrateful user.
I got the car back this evening. It was definitely the crankshaft sensor so they put in a new one and it's running perfectly now. I hadn't realised how rough it was running while the light was on but I suppose that's understandable if it was in limp mode. As to the cost, I don't know as the garage guy didn't have the bill handy so is posting it.
Played around a bit with the RS/6000. I successfully mirrored the hard drives, which is something I remembered doing on the course. This is really why I wanted one because the AIX implementation of LVM is really powerful and flexible, but it's not easy to practice without a machine that doesn't matter if I break it. I'd like to get a couple of tapes for the drive in it so I can back it up before trying stuff that might break the OS, as it took quite some time to install. It's an ancient DDS3 drive and the tapes are about £1 each these days.
Anyway, I'm going to shut it down now and try and relax.
