Am behind tha computah taiping mai keys...

Congrats on the hockey .. but I missed everything since I started watching curling.

Hope it didn't get absorbed by the concrete if it rots you might get murderous tendencies if you have to pay the bill.

You guys got positions for different kinds of admins?

Okay, on my card it says systems engineer ... and actually it means if it blinks runs on electricity and runs software, I have to know and manage it.

... awesome ...

[HELLFIRE]

I hope it was the XX'ers you were staring at... But hey, whatever floats your boat.

I'll check around and let you know...

Another two days before the weekend... and I can actually buy groceries. I'm sustaining myself off
whatever's left in my cupboard. D**n expenses...

Tall And Cold, please.

So .. I traded my car ... Out goes the 2007 Ibiza .. in comes the 2011 Civic.

[HELLFIRE]

Any particular reason you tossed the Ibiza?

Well, got last-minuted again -- got a call last week saturday saying "we're coming
in to fix the flooring, please move your stuff out of our way." Good news is I
have the truck, the elevator and labor to move this stuff... and I'm stuffing what
I can into my bathroom to minimize things going into the moving van.

HOPING by end of month I can have my life back...

Will let everyone know how it goes!

[Taurec]

Selling it now would give me the max ROI with the current mileage on it.
Next year the market will be flooded with a new batch of small fuel efficient cars .. and it probably would lower the trade in price since we still are in crisis mode.

Hopy you can throw a second housewarming soon

[Taurec]

And we have fully migrated to Exchange online .. . guess the nsa is reading my exploits now

[HELLFIRE]

Meh, 3letter agencies can perform a certain *bleep* as far as I'm concerned.

Was happy to walk into my place last night and saw flooring had been started.
I was afraid I'd find I'd been bumped for a "higher priority" job... bedroom's
nearly done, and their tools are all over the place, so I guess that's progress.

...I think...

[KiLlEr]

Hi guys and gals! Figured I'd drop in for a glass or a few.

Got my hands on South Park:Stick of Truth on the PS3 been having a blast.

Beyond that its been scary at my job. New sheriffs and deputies abound looking to make huge changes. The changes are absolutely needed in my opinion (being centered around software quality, or lack there of). But will have to see how this rides out.

A tall one please....

[Taurec]

When is all the work done?

I might pick that up if it's in the steam bargain bin. Currently low on monies <g>

I loved the rock - paper - kick in the nuts one LOL
Have your jug of suck-up ready .. what are you working on?

Well I guess the robot laws went out the window...

*cancels oculus rift order*

fudgie you facebook....

[KiLlEr]

I'm working on system wide logging, and on automation of operation processes.

#1 is write more shit to the log files so that we can have more shit to look at to determine that we have no idea why things went wrong.

#2 is so that you can bulk add/remove users to our system.

I finished Stick of truth. It was a blast. I'll replay it with a different class next time. But next, I'll be playing "Witch and the Hundred Night".

Then I'll go back to finishing "Mugen Souls" or (when the Wife ain't looking) "Ar Tonelico". LOL

Oh yeah, I've been messing around in my studio and posted a few jams on my website. Switched to guitar stuff for now. Nothing planned or fancy so expect some glitchy playing as I explore blending scales:

Ocultus Rift eh? It reminds me of something... wait...

.HACK//SIGN

[HELLFIRE]

....FINALLY back... and I have to say

I HAZORS FLOORING AGAIN!!!

D**N, did I miss it. Mined out the bathroom, and need time to sort it out.
Also got a more appropos desk for my setup.

Otherwise, winding down at work.. but STILL they insist on dumping stuff
on us... we cut over to a new ticketing system that's "ITIL compliant,"
but everyone and their dog insists on not following the basic process -- like
ACTUALLY giving us the information to do our jobs and not saying "problem!
you fix!" all the time...

Saw the Oculus announcement... ABF, man, ABF (Anybody But Facebook).

Tall and Cold... got the weekend, then I start my new position... Mar 31 / Apr 1's
going to be interesting, I'll say that.

[HELLFIRE]

#2 sounds pretty useful to me Killer... as for #1, so long as you're not the one reviewing the logs.
I love syslogs, the only time I hate them is a) they're not there when you need them most, or b)
someone sends you theirs and expects YOU to figure them out... like app guys without a fscking
clue in the world what they're doing / asking for.

@Joe Inner Calm seems a song for a soft core porno ...
Conference of Wizards +1

Yesterday was like .. Hey did you know we are going to disconnect all power in the whole office tomorrow?

We had a meeting before and they said, We will talk to you when we can disconnect the power .. but seemingly somebody wrote .. power can go down tomorrow.

I'm like " No .... no no .. oh hell no .. "
I get this blank stare, "But you have a UPS right?", like they would run all day.

So this morning been running around with extension cords creating an electrical powercord spiderweb to make sure my desktop / servers had power.
But they still complained that the coffee machine didn't work. (For them ) I had mine running on a different UPS.
