Friday 6/13

Des Moines flooded & Tim Russert died.� Weird start.

8:20 Jess wants diagrams/graphs of the main resources of the linux systems that I collected during the IWS perf test.� I didn't do them, I just watched in real-time.� Didn't see any issues, so I didn't graph.� Guess I can do that sometime next week?� Who the hell has time to graph data that's going to be flat?

8:30 - Jerry wants the BTI info.

- Talked to Ratface about the BTi stuff I need to email to Ashy.� Talked with Mr. T. about it a little and agreed we're going to house it with pff.� at least the prod part.� I don't know what the deal is exactly so I just took the configs for the pff boxes and sent them to ashy.� Mr. T. said something about the prod sharing on sparta but the dev and qa not being on carson and wabasha.� buying new hardware for them?� That makes no sense.� I don't need new hardware.� Even if they aren't in core network there's plenty of excess capacity elsewhere.

- Left a couple of messages for Jerry regarding this BTI stuff.� No call back.� Ended up just going with what I got from Ratface & Mr. T.�

-- Sent this off around 3:30, she wanted it by 2, but no such luck. :(� She seemed to think it was excellent though so?� ok!

Mr. T. is out for the rest of the day.� Might be w@h early next week.

�9-- sper-dooge says to call K. rogers at NW if we need anything asafp and can't get a response from anone else.

-- Talked with Slick about the meeting we had scheduled for today.� Margie and Hooper had to bail.� Nobody else was interested.� Fuck it, he's going to reschedule.� This will give me more time to mess with the IWS LM stuff that's fucko. and other things like moving anhinga and blackbird over to sparta etc.

11ish - 1ish Some vague fumble-fucking around with Drew about something that won't run properly on the thyme LM servers.� Can't get access to page on specific port using localhost 127.0.0.1, I asked "did you just try the word 'localhost' with the port?", he tries it and it works.� I abandon my search for the proper port in /etc/system or by doing tcpdump.� He swears it was working but my tcpdump said it wasn't.� I dunno.� Fuck it.� He's happy, I'm happy.� Stop fucking calling me with silly shit!

12:45 Ramen Noodles from NW hooks me up with some other folk.

3ish - Got the stuff for Jerry together and sent off, everybody is happy so far.

Calling it a day.� happy friday.

    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. Hoppy - I.T. Security LDAP Squirrelface - I.T. Security Accts Woodchuck - I.T. Security Accts Russian Bride - Application Tester Trisha - Testing AVP Tequila - UNIX Admin OPS Chops - UNIX Admin OPS Mac - UNIX Engineer (Contractor, works with Tequila & Chops) Margie - SAN specialist (ch)InkPen - Backup Specialist Chimpy - OPS Mgr Duke - UNIX Lead even though he knows nothing about UNIX
