Chinese Monday celebrations begin in a few minutes

Current music: Jimmy Eat World - Clarity

So while I am still waiting for this crap to compile I decided to start looking at why my firewall has a load of 9+. For non-geeks please stop reading here...

Looks like there was some sort of rpm thing that Mandrake decided to throw into the daily cron. It was running some rpm query command, then sorting them all. Well, since there was one rpm hangup I think I have a corrupt rpm database and none of the jobs were finishing. They kept stacking. So I started killing them. Now my load is back in normal ranges... I am gonna have to look into what is corrupt about the database soon, but the celebrations have begun!
