Started the day well enough, and after fiddling around for a bit, got the transfer of the 12GB of Morgan backup data (rar'ed up to halve it in size) going across to the new portal server. We can FTP out from the new servers, so that did simplify things a bit.
Then, around lunch time things started to go pear shaped (unfortunate term) and I disappeared home at about half past three with my stomach doing some pretty impressive and hugely uncomfortable gyrations.
The next morning I discover that the network pinged down and up last night, and abort the FTP copy of the OFOR files, so I knocked up a very short Perl script to use wget to retrieve the final ones. This one was set running inside screen, so if anything goes wrong again with my network connection - it should still carry on. You'd think I'd have learned by now.
The rest of the day was spent very frustratingly trying to determine what was going on with Georgie's new machine, and the openFabric install on it. Whilst retrieving the softrules from her home server, packets from the server arrived with longer and longer periods between them. Eventually the delay would exceed the socket timeout value, and the request would fail.
The very odd thing about it is that I tried exactly the same thing from here, which is, networkalogically, much further away, and it ran through with no problems.
