Frack.� The tickets to the Mercury game today are for 12:30 in the afternoon!� I can't go to that!� WTF?

--� BTI meeting was short, IWS Testing cancelled, PFF has nothing on calendar, and PAM/LDAP is going to be held late.

- I setup a script to auto-start SCS on documentum when it reboots.� I didn't even test it, but I sent an email to Tequila & Chops to drop it on all of the WICK boxes.� I copied Mr. T. and Carrot Cake because Mr. T. asked me about it yesterday.� This caused a firestorm of emails from Carrot Cake wanting me to fix every issue in the whole environment.� I explained that I only fixed the problem because I had time, there were caution & warnings going out, and nobody else would touch it.� Forwarded her requests to Tequila & Chops.

- Chops has some bell's palsy issue or something and half of his face is paralyzed and he looks like he's had a stroke, but he came into work anyway.� What a fucking loon.� I think anyone would agree with me when I say, "If half of your face is paralyzed, it's okay for you to stay home for the day."

3:00 - LDAP Meeting.

- my guniea pig server Pan is on the same ESX host as the apollo LDAP auth server so any traffic going to apollo from pan won't leave the ESX v-switch since they're on the same vlan.

- hoops wants a copy of pan to play with.� got an IP from Grandpa Simpson and spun out Pandora.� Re-ip'd it and sent login info to Hoops & Skipper.

- Check with TAMMY: Is it okay to use RHEL5 as an NFS primary?� Will I face any problems having RHEL3/4/5 and/or Solaris 7, 8, 9 mounting their /home's from an RHEL5 NFS server?� (firewalls will be involved but will have holes punched.)

- Slick is going to ask Grandpa Simpson to pull the latest rhel5 dvd down and will find a location for it.

- Build RHEL5 Gold

- Spin clone of 5 Gold into Homewood.� Stand up Homewood on Seer with 100GB slice.

- There seems to be some incompatibility between Tivoli, EDirectory, and our version of OpenLDAP.

- Squirrelface wants a RHEL4 or 5 image to play with.� Told him to open a fucking ticket and I'll get to it sometime in August.

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.
