���������������� We should never sleep alone if we have a chance together. We can even sing a song to make it better. Do we have to feel alone forever. Why do we wait? And what’s it for?
����������������� I need help but no one around to ask for. It’s cold and hot. Such a discomfort. Can’t help being so desperate. Waiting for a quiet moment when everything feels so right. When there is no one to stop us.
���������������� What I’ve tried in the past, it never worked out. Now I am scared of loosing what I have. Every little thing. Even when it’s a sacrifice for what I really want. I can’t say the words. I can’t make the first move.
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.
Quote Of The Day "An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind." - M.K. Gandhi Universe Entry Of The Day Has it occurred to you that you could ask for more? Not just more than what you now have, but more than you're now asking for? This is why I'm HOT -The Universe- Journal Entry Of The Day So things sometimes move along a lot faster than any of us could have planned for. I mean, we've all probably been part of the drama of sudden death or tragedy of some capacity. Although things seem like slow motion, hind sight tells us those times fly by. I am immersed in my own life and I find myself stopping and forcing myslef to appreciate what's actually happening. Things are unfolding at a rapid rate and they are good things. Money is beginning to boil over like I planned and that is always a good thing. I am practicing discipline and looking for order as always. I am in search of the peace that comes from no thought or meditation. I always realize that discipline weighs ounces and regret weighs tons. MaxGXL has given me a new lease on life. I feel amazing and my body feels 10 - 15 years younger. Nancy and I just started MaxWLX this week and we are ever optimistic that it will change our world. It's a Friday, the world is your oyster. What are you going to do with your weekend?
Its Friday and I need a break for a change.
Maybe I'll go have a pedicure.�
I need to quit biting my damn fingernails and let them grow out again.� I'm ruining them.� I want them to be long for the wedding, not all nubby and chewed up!
Quote of the day: "If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea." - Antoine de Saint-Exupery Universe Entry of the day: Ten thousand years from now, Ed, your presence will still be felt, your name will still be whispered, and your goodness will still be expanding. And that's just for the stuff you've already done! You're a supa-star, The Universe Journal entry of the day So, I've been busy the last few dyas. Really busy. Probably busier than I've been in the last few years to be honest. Guess what? You know the answer, it feels great, that's what! I am busy, busy, busy promoting Max International, and the products they produce, MaxGXL and MaxWLX. We have created this wave of momentum and are not looking back. It's been a long time since I went dog at it from 6am - 12 midnight. Barely eating and not feeling tired is a really nice feeling. We have the lifestyle we deisre, we get up when we want, work when we want and play when we want. Want some of this too?
Today I am another year older. Dad was great of course. He got me a few shirts and we went to Mels for some dinner. Most of the day dad and i both had seperate doctors appointments.
It's funny how people who call themself "close friends" have forgotten my simple birthday. Makes you wonder how "close of a friend"� they really are,� And it's funny how a simple thing like telling someone Happy Birthday can become a big things- esp when people forget.
I saw my diabetic doctor toay and I am released to go back to work on Monday.� The diabetic doctor is happy with how things are. we have a ways to go...but this is a great start!
I will go to work on monday. Oh boy on that one.
Dad got his phone wet.� he has to get another one. Uncle Gary got a job with is good. well, ok well enough of this. I want to go to sleep.� This headache is killing me!!� Oh I got a perm today-they used the orange big rods and the solution took in 5 minutes and it looks cute!� The shirts dad got me for my bday look great!!� Ok the end of this journal!
���������������� Is that where I belong? My value is so little compare to them. I can only say I’m not worth it. I don’t deserve you. You don’t want to hear my words. I am always talking. You don’t hear me. Look up closer. All I am is what is left of me in your heart. There isn’t much. After all this time I got so little. Less than all of them.
-- Most of Thursday's notes were private and dealing with LDAP and SAN (DMX) conversions.
-- LDAP successfully rolled out to Dev Portal environment.
-- Staph-o wants me to set up monitor accounts in the LM gold and the LM IWS boxes.
08:10 - Call from Gunslinger about the IWS perftest this morning.� The phone rang the instant I sat down at my desk.� I guess this was to start at 7?� Dunno, I know I wasn't the only one to show up at 8:10.
- Started monitoring on pine, olive, spruce, and thymeLM 135.
- Thyme is choking within just a few minutes of the test.� Swapping.� Memory is set to 1gb.� Get the ok from Gunslinger to bring it down and jack the ram to 3gb.� (Country Boy said that the JVM Heap alone is supposed to be 2GB.)
- Bring server down & up the RAM.� Undeploy first.� Pushed it to 3072 and restart, IP change to 215.
9:10 - Biker Babe says the thyme ovqa box is having the same problems.� I shut it down and up it to 3gb as well.� IP change to 218.
-- Squirrelface still wants the RHEL4 box spun out to workstation on his desktop & I told him that his manager won't allow that.� (He should know this, he's the head tech on the Risk Mgmt team)� Told him I can spin one out in LM for him to "play with samba and winbind" on.
9:30 - Team Staph Meating.� Mid-years are due in a week.� Grandpa Simpson said he hadn't even started pulling the images that I asked for yesterday.� Must need a new onion for his belt.� He thinks we use AS, I had to tell him it's ES and then explain why.
-- Mr. T. said something about it taking Grandpa Simpson and Cartman bloody ages to push firewall rules because apparently there are bazillions of them that need changed.� I made the crack, "That's weird, DannyBoy could always do it in just a few minutes."� Slick cracked up, nobody else got it apparently.
11:30 - Testing is done and Gunslinger wants everything in spreadsheets with graphs.� Righty-o man.� righty-o.
11:45 Margie called.� She wants to know if I've done the filesystem grow on giant, titan, and pine yet.� I haven't.� She says to go ahead and grow giant & titan on Thursday, but Pine will have to be done after they do their SAN work Thurs night.� I'll coordinate with Mac.
12:00 - I'm getting food.
1:34 - Just got off the phone with Slick.� Apparently The Martian talked with him and Hoops yesterday regarding our IT department's seeming lack of ability to get anything of substance "done", and the constant "roadblocks" thrown up for no apparent reason.
Slick and I are firm in our position that Cartman doesn't actually _do_ anything useful and the entire Network Engineering group (which just consists of Cartman and Grandpa Simpson), is entirely too liesurely.� They never complete anything on time, they always claim to be working ~60-70 hours per week, half the time things are done wrong, the other half they "forget" to do them at all.
Try to FTP a file out of our company and into a vendor.� It can't be done.� Try to move an image from point A to point B in the environment, it can't be done.� THe VLANS are all mismatched, VM's are moved around to locations where they won't work, consoles aren't connected, and the entire layout of our network is simply lunacy.
We can't get LDAP working from pan to apollo and they're on the same goddamn esx host.� There is no excuse for this.� If these two are working 50 hours a week, I'd like to have some progress to show for it.
What _really_ sucks about this is the fact that I LIKE both of them.� I LIKE Grandpa Simpson and Cartman on a personal level.� I think they're both fun guys to work with, and we've done a couple of things away from the office just because we're friends.� I just can't understand why they won't get on the ball and get some work done too.
