I told myself I'd wake up at 6am and get a head start on my massive amounts of work I need to do.  Today seems to really be the start of the new year as I am done with my sickness of the last two weeks and the workload is now expected to get completed.  Yet, I didn't wake up until 7:45.  Ooops.  Oh well, I am solo the next three weeks and have 2.4 million dollars of the latest generation of server and network equipment that I need to get running.  Let the fun begin.

Do you actually set up the server hardware, or do you do software? If you do hardware, you should check out r/cableporn on Reddit.

Do you actually set up the server hardware, or do you do software? If you do hardware, you should check out r/cableporn on Reddit.

We purchase the racks fully loaded and cabled already, the work these guys do would qualify for cableporn (I've seen the reddit and have done plenty of nice cable work myself but not quite as good as what's on there).  They do such an awesome job and the new design is a real pain in the ass for cabling, but they still nailed it well.  Most of my job is on the network side and setting up the servers to be accessible to our data base and we have automation tools to install base OSs on them once I get the network online.  Then it's off to systems engineering to do the real software work and get the servers doing whatever they are supposed to do (this case, all my hardware is for ad serving).

Today I've got everything powered up (the power up process is a PITA just because I am not allowed to touch any of it and I need the building engineers to confirm everything before they energize new racks).  Got half of my network configs approved by engineering (the other half I wrote up but didnt put in for approval yet since Im trying not to kill these guys and gal today).  Got all my uplinks in place (the only cabling I really need to do, these are all 100GB connections, 40 meter cables ran across the top of the room).  And I am starting to load my network configs onto the new switches so I can hopefully turn everything online tomorrow if all goes well.

Blob,  saw that video of the cat that you commented about.  I agree, I loved the strut but the back legs look weird walking in unison with the front legs.

Calgary is colder than a witches cunt ... -27C, and the windows in this hotel room are about as useful as a mint flavored suppository.  I've got the thermostat cranked to 24.5C (it's as high as it'll go), but it sure as hell is fighting a losing battle against the windows.

Hope things go as well as they can with radiation on King Sr.

Yea this week we finally got out of the freezing weather and while only 40F it feels like summer.  The snow should be gone by tomorrow as it's supposed to hit the 50s.

Good morning peeps.

I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

I think I finally got this hotel room warmed up.  I only had one meeting today, so I was cooped up in here most of the day.  I took a couple of opportunities to work elsewhere (hotel restaurant, and an adjoining atrium) because it was just too damned chilly in here.  Now that I'm about to get under the covers, it's finally a comfortable temperature.
