WH/UW project needs admin work done.ï¿½ Another fucking project in limbo.ï¿½ No time for this silliness, I forward to Curious and Duke to see if they can get one of the kids on it.

Matt T.ï¿½ Wants to do Tomcat > WAS migration 7/1-7/15ï¿½ is asking Mr. T. to lock my time.

Remembered to forward apollo downtime message off to portal admins.ï¿½ oops.

MTG: 3:30 - 4pm today - Discuss timing for IWS work later this week.

Calvin the LDAP guy wants to coordinate some work with my apollo work today.ï¿½ No Problem.

Mr. T. stood up a new IWS DC Test Env in LM.ï¿½ zorn2-lm, guiness, killian need prompt adjustments in /etc/bashrc in this new env so we know they're iwsqa.

1pm : Apollow shutdown and remediate.ï¿½ Work with Boody to get apps down, then proceed.ï¿½ All goes well.ï¿½ Return users at 2:22pm

Sent email to Skipper letting him know I installed the asset manager package on my target server. (naboo)ï¿½ Seemed to go fine, copied the rest of the list.

We discuss rolling the LDAP changes out to QA on Tuesday.ï¿½ We're locked in from 11am-8pm Tuesday for my changes plus rollout of the IWS work.

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.
