I hate unexplained phenomena...

... especially when they're unexplained warnings from my intrusion-detection script. Especially when they only happen once, and can't be repeated by rerunning the script in the morning. Had I been cracked again?

( longwinded technical explanation )

So things were OK after all, and apart from making me waste all morning chasing my tail, no damage was done. But at least I get an interesting post out of it.

Saturday evening update

Went out for a nice little (about one and a half hours) drive with the flower_cat this afternoon -- no guests at the Starport. We're expecting some tomorrow. (Yes, that's a hint.)

I seem to be mostly over my cold; made it through the day without Sudafed, just Flonase and Claritin.

Work on the network upgrade continues, now that I've solved my little mystery.
