Post-Purchase Nausea

« previous next »

OK, I did it. I just bought the long-anticipated new server. Fully three years after I originally planned to, this is the first "major" purchase of a tangible object (i.e.: not including travel) in three years. Honestly it's not a huge amount of money, but it's more than I've let myself spend on any one thing in a long time, so I got that moment of nausea that comes with spending an amount in excess of a month's rent. I plan to pick it up Saturday and start work on migrating over to it on the weekend. The old P-133 back-up server will fall off the bottom end of things and I'll be consolidating bits from the current server and my workstation into a single box that will be my "new" workstation, so where I now have three boxes, I'll have two.
