Little Plastic Castle

07:30 - UP!� Man, I woke up early today.� Got the cats fed and coffee going.� My cold is pretty much gone but I'm still a little woogy from all the nyquil.� R.I.P. George Carlin!

- Saturday I got out for a little while & went down to Chandler Mall.� I got a salad for lunch at Paradise and sat at a book store reading for a while.� Saw Chez and Kellie on Sunday to drop something off.� Chez said that Ice-Queen was having her quarterly meeting this morning in Jasper, but I don't have it on my calendar so feck it.

- Email from SS @ EMC regarding TZ format on petrel & shearwater.� He says: "it seems that the short date format has been set on petrel and shearwater to be different than mm/dd/yyyy. On Crow and towhee it is set correctly"

This doesn't make any sense to me.� The servers are clones of one another so all of their TZ info is identical.

Checking locale (locale -a, locale -k LC_TIME), shows identical settings.

-- Requested clarification from SS.

9:15 - Guy from Mojo Systems reseller.� Wants to purchase our decomm hardware when we decide to sell.

- Contractor Adam S. wants "cron assistance" for server magnum.� This server doesn't show up on my list of systems (though I can't locate the SvrAss sheet offhand), since I know them all fairly intimately.� I can't ssh into it.� If this IP is valid for us, it'll be on CORE but I don't see it anywhere.� Will keep trying to locate it.� Asked Adam to call me.

9:45 - After much dilligent searching I located the svrass sheet and found magnum.� The IP in the sheet isn't what nslookup is reporting.� Something is out of whack.� Will wait for Adam to call.

9:55 - IM from Matt T.� - Code Migration from dev to QA this morning from 11-1 with SS from EMC.� Will clear up the TZ issue with him then.� Ahh-Nold is out of this one.� His mom died this weekend.

10:10 - Call from Adam S.� Seems he sent his question about cron to the generic unix-admin email account.� The server he's looking for is in Ohio, not Arizona.� Bounced him back to his own group.

10:45 - Grabbed tuna & crackers for lunch with tomato soup

10:50 - Slick reminded me of the work on vidalia for Hopalong.� Sent hoppy an IM asking him to open a ticket for me on vidalia.� Its been so long since I was asked about that, I forgot what they need.� I think they just need the machine spun out and stood up, but for some reason I seem to recall them needing additional disk.�

11:00 - Talked with SS on the code migration.� He started it up & said it'll take a couple of hours.� We talked about the TZ issue.� He said Cliff reported the problem to him, and he didn't verify or check it, just forwarded it off to me.

- I explain to SS that the locale formats on the two machines are identical.� He says Cliff told him they aren't.� He goes to verify.

- SS says that BOTH machines are showing the date as Jun 23, 2008, but they need to report 06/23/2008.

1:00 -- Fixed 113 for Brett.� Dunno wtf grandpa simpson did to his account but I had to delete it and re-add it again.� hooked him up with sudoers.� He says "all LM Portal servers" need to have this done, but I'm not entirely sure what that means.� Added the portal admin accts to sudoers for 113, 146, and 147.� Asked him for a list of IPs he needs the work done on just in case these aren't all.� (I'm fairly sure they aren't)

1:06 - Trevis is going to drop something off.� Told him I'd be here all day.

1:10 - Looking into problem pointed out by the Appliance guy on the Pathways servers.

1:15 - Brett sent a whole list of IPs.� 83, 112, 135, 138, 153, 154, 166, 169, 174, 207, 208.� Do these after fixing the pathways problem.

1:40 - the Pathways mounts were mounting as root.� I edited the fstab and put a mount option in: uid=4502 and remounted.� All files under the /pff mount now show with apache owner, create & delete of files doesn't give error.�

4:00 - The goddamn PFF code migration failed at 3:30 and SS had to restart the 2nd part of it.� It'll be another 2 hours before it finishes.� Let Matt T. know.�
