I shouldn’t be allowed to poke around with linux when I’m tired. After setting various things up on my VPS (httpd, postgresql, subversion) I was trying to get apache to work properly with my name based setup (Things weren’t working exactly) so I was poking about various tools and reading the man pages for them etc. But I wasn’t paying attention and forgot the man part of sys-unconfig. Here’s some free advice. Don’t.
Needless to say the box being a VPS (Sorry Paul again!) it has wiped out its network settings and I can no longer access it. I’d die for a IPMI card about now.
I’ve come home today to find I card shaped letter waiting for me, and as I was not expecting a card my curiosity was aroused. And I’ve opened it up to find a picture of earth from the moon and inside it says the following:
Thank You

Now it may not seem like much but I have to say I was surprised to actually get a card from a business that I deal with regularly. It’s the little personal touch that would encourage me to give more business to them in the future.
