Bad Machine Day

I was working from home this morning when my connection blinked out, wiping out about an hour's worth of work. Grr.

Anyway, I came in to work to find my machine disconnected. Grabbed the sysadmins, forced them to get it hooked back up to the network. They said they reused the port because the light wasn't on.

Huh?

Apparently, my machine has decided to go into a save state, sleep, reboot, restore state loop. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be an easy way out of this (it's a Sun box) at the moment.

I think I'll just write the day off as a loss.
