8am mail from Mr. T.� forwarded chain

Environment audit.� Were business requirements appropriate and was "quality delivery" achieved.� This is regarding the failed Ruby/Rails project RTB.

RTB was killed because of issues bringing it in-house.� But they still want to do Ruby/Rails elsewhere.� There is another project BTI to do just that, but it isn't related to RTB.

Mr. T. replied that I had solved the template issues with bringing it in-house, but by the time I was able to get around the problem, they'd already decided to terminate the project due to the cost.� (Good enough as it is)� Asked me to confirm.

My reply:� XXX, you are correct.� The environment is standing, there is 500GB of SAN attached and it was ready for deployment when the project was killed.� I've been waiting final word on decom/reclaim for destruction of the env.

    CORALINE's Interests:

    About Me: Little Plastic Castle is an extension of This Child's Life which is not hosted at inboxjournal. This blog will make little sense to anyone other than myself. It's a stream of consciousness log of what I do on a daily basis in my job as a UNIX computer systems engineer. o/~ "They say goldfish have no memory, I guess their lives are much like mine...so the little plastic castle is a surprise every time, and its hard to say if they're happy, but they don't seem much to mind." o/~ I endeavor to respect confidentiality and thus I use nicknames for the people I work with. (Mr. T, Ratface, Jerry, Cartman, Grandpa Simpson, Slick, and so on.) I drop system names in here and abbreviations, but any note that requires something like a FQDN will always be marked private. You can comment if you like, but I'll only respond if I feel like it.

    Interests: Cast of Characters: Just a few of the names I use for people, this is the nickname and what their job responsibility is. Mr. T - My Direct Manager (Engineering) Slick - ESX Specialist Cartman - Network Engineering Lead Grandpa Simpson - Network Engineer Becky - WebSphere Engineer Ratface - Developer/Architect Jerry - Project Manager (BTI) Matt T. - Project Manager (Blackbird) The Martian - Application Developer AVP Ice Queen - Engineering AVP Chez - Assistant to Ice Queen Watts - Engineering/Development Sr. Mgr.
