08:15 - (ch)InkPen sent ST message about odysseus and hypnos.� Apparently they aren't communicating with the backup server.� (I'll have to check nsr to see which server they're going to, but they're nonprod so probably brahms)�

- Logged into odysseus and the first thing I tried to do was reverse lookup on haydn or brahms and neither will resolve.� I look at resolv.conf and am just completely bewildered by what I see.� The search line is referencing a domain we don't even populate.� The resolver is 1 digit off.� Who does this shit?� How long as this been fucko?� Did it EVER work?

9:10 Looks like ESX Host Druid just crashed.� Called Slick & left VM, then called Grandpa Simpson.� He's in that 9am LM presentation that Mr. T. is doing and I was going to call into but got sidetracked with this.� Druid is prod.

-- Trying to access dckvmmgt.� Can't get there from desk.� Go in from Fairbanks and the java app starts but when I try to log in, it says "remote host not responding".

9:45 - Squirrelface says he can get logged in, but he's going in from renton NJ.

9:50 - Grandpa Simpson seems to have just restarted Druid and all the vms on it.� Looking in the message logs of druid I see nothing unusual.� Awesome.

10:00 LDAP/PAM Meating.� Skipper wants to push to QA next Thurs.� I blocked off 4 hours on my calendar to do it.

10:30 - PFF - SS called me to do code migration.� I asked him why I'm doing these anyway because the person who's going to manage this app once it goes live is the person who needs to know how to do it.� I asked Matt T. about it in ST and he sent the full text (misspelling and all) to Rene and Watts.� What a jackss.� Never quote someone's ST messages unless you ASK THEM FIRST.� (or at least fix their lazy spelling errors.)

- SS is supposed to call back at noon to complete the work.

12:00 (ch)InkPen opened ticket 462074.X for me to look at odysseus and hypnos.� I fixed their resolvers and closed the ticket.� Hopefully that fixes the problem.

    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
