hah!� Slept late today too.� Didn't get out of the shower till a little after 9.
09:15 - dialed into the 9am OPS/ENG bridge.� Missed all the SAN stuff, but Mr. T said I already knew it and they just proceeded.� One Q about when PFF is going live, but I don't know the actual date.� PROD build starts July 1, that's all I know for sure.� I don't have the firm GO LIVE date.� (Fuck, it was suppsed to be March 15.)
9:50 - Pasted in yesterday's entry & Mr. T said we'll meet at 10:20 today for the weekly staph meating.� No problem.
10 - Need to figure out what I'm working on today.� My brain is scattered to the corners of the Earth.� Email exchange with "Windy Day Girl", we talked about having lunch sometime next week up in Skittsdale.� I go almost 3 years without meeting any intelligent, attractive lesbians, and suddenly they're falling out of the sky.� :)� Lucky me.
10:30 - Staph meating.� I can't fucking get logged into NewYork.� Every few weeks it gets fucko and won't let me in.� I even went through the Madison servers and still no-go.� Slick will look at that for me after the meating.
-- Becky will be out a few weeks starting Monday.� I know she's having a hysterectomy, but she didn't tell anyone else.� I just heard her allude to "traveling" so clearly she doesn't want to share with the boys.� I won't say a word.� (I'm aware of the fact that I just did, but you don't know her so its okay.� Privacy through Obscurity.)
-- More talk about the SAN upgrade/changes for this weekend.
-- Mid-Year reviews are coming up.
-- Lunch break.� Ran to Fry's to get cat food and a few other items.� Picked up a sammich at Subway.� Back home and working.
1:00 - Chez scored tix to a women's basketball game tonight.� I'm going to pick her up at her place and drive us both.� Only one parking pass + Chez will want a beer or two.� I'll be designated driver.
1:10 - Adjusted ticket queue.� Opened ticket for Pine disk add.� Checked status of disk add for minotaur cluster.� No forward motion.� She's probably busy working on the san switch stuff for this weekend.
1:40 - After much fucking around with our ticketing system I finally programmed 4 very useful auto-queries for myself.� One is "All tickets I've assigned to others", one is "My Active Assignments", one is "My Overdue Assignments", and the other is "All Engineering Unassigned Tickets".� I set them up to auto-start every time my system starts up, that way I can see at a glance what I've got in the works for the day.
1:45 - Started working on Pooh Bear's Oracle issues on the RHEL x_64 Delphi LM system.� Lots of packages to check/install.
�4:20 - working on weird issue for Becky.� she says:
"it's throwing this error:� [De scription: Resolving short name to full DN failed - no entry found. ]"
-- Daddy Google doesn't say much about it.� nslookup finds the hosts ok.� Dorked with the nsswitch file to make sure its looking in the right places for the names.� Checked with both short name & FQDN.� She put entries in the host table to see if it really isn't looking it up, all no good.
-- started watching network traffic as she was working with the developers, filtered out her IP, mine, and a few others to get a better handle on what's flowing where.� Flipped the nameservers around and even had it start querying the PROD NS instead of the LM NS, but no go.
-- Becky asked the developers to use the old code.� They said it works, old code, old servers.� Try the old code with the new servers, and it doesn't work.� Asked her to have them try the "old servers" with the "new code" to see if that works.� It might tell me if the problem is a configuration issue with the new servers, or if the new servers aren't configured properly in DNS.
-- 5:10 pm and I need to get my shit together to meet Chez.� Sent email to Slick and Grandpa Simpson to check the DNS on fosters in the AM.
I'm OUT!
