Basically have this up on my laptop 24/7 2) yeah, but i'm still trying to be awesome at my job, or at least look like I care when I really really do not. 3) ooh she poopin'. three times yesterday. bonus points : apparently fresh air down there makes her pee or something, as the nurse had to change her 3 times in a row because as soon as she hit the open air and a new diaper was put around her, she'd hose it down. She's going to be spoiled as poo poo, considering she's the first female to be born into either side of my wife's family in 30 and change years. I'm not helping either : edit : vvvvv : yeah. NICU nurses are superhuman. Summer's bubbliest nurse I just don't understand. She was as bright and cheerful and peppy at the end of her 12 hour shift the other day as she was at the beginning. Nerdrock fucked around with this message at 14:20 on Jun 6, 2018 |

Legit though, make sure to take care of yourself (and your wife) a bit. This poo poo is stressful. Also, if the NICU nurses there are anything like every NICU nurse I've ever met, they are amongst the best of the best - your family is in good hands.

I love being asked at the start of my day to help users break into another user's profile because said other user didn't finish charting on a patient. But what's even better than that is when members of our own clinical support team ask me to do it, then get snappy with me when I mention that I have fairly strong reservations about resetting the password of a user in good standing without their consent.

Yeah if I ever get asked to change a password of another user it comes from management, not from a co-worker. That got me bit in the arse once. Never again.

My older daughter was (only six weeks) early, but she practically lived in our arms from the moment she got the boot from the NICU until she was around 8 months old. Baby wearing all the time doing all the things was a way of life.

So I thought I had 'd into a datacentre role but it seems that being able to find my way to a specific security door buried deep in the racks to test it and then get back to the NOC is an achievement so unheard of that they actually had to check the CCTV to make sure I actually did it...

Question time: I'm writing a script to automate the mounting and spot checking our full-system backups and I'm wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a file that I can check that would change pretty frequently? I don't think something like this exists and so we might need to manually add something to our backup jobs to create some kind of text file with a timestamp in it that I can check for staleness (e.g. if the timestamp is older than one day, we know that the backup isn't grabbing the latest version of the file and so we should investigate), but if something like this already exists, I'd love to know about it.

Run a script on the computer that writes the timestamp to C:\Somewhere\filename.txt, then check that. Way better than checking some file that *probably* updates every day.

The Claptain posted:This. I would just create a scheduled task which runs a script that writes to a file daily. This is how I test all my backup related stuff. The script creates the file if it doesn't exist and appends the timestamp and a newline to the end of the file. Script is scheduled to run X times per day. If I'm also testing databases, the script checks for a table, creates it if it doesn't exist, then adds the timestamp on a new row. Then when I restore, I check those things and always know if it's got the latest data.

Woke up very early this morning to a torrent of alert messages regarding a European partner of ours. drat near all of their sites were completely unreachable. Could get intermittent connectivity from the US, but from anything in their country, it was down. After a lot of bullshit, turns out that the data center that provided DNS to their region had a gas leak and power was shut down to the building.

Our 9 year old Cisco switch stacks started to develop... issues. POE disabling, not able to SSH into them... Just not providing network to certain ports... Turns out their uptime was 8.5 years, and so when powered off today, they did not turn back on. This was planned for, so I spent the better part of 12 hours with the boss today moving about 600 network ports into new* switches in three different IDF closets. There are 4 other stacks that are the same age/uptime. We do not have any more spares. *New to us! The spares were made in 2012!

IT's me, I'm the ticket I just wrecked my work laptop by trying to reclaim 40gb of an unused partition to the main drive using gparted. I had to de-bitlocker it first though Gparted worked fine but it wouldn't boot and I of course did not backup poo poo or create a recovery media or anything luckily I had a windows 10 usb media hidden in a forgotten pocket of my bag (found my favorite pen too in the same pocket!) that i happened to remember and used that to get a win10 cmd prompt and fix the boot mgr bdc or something now i got that sweet sweet 40gb to fill with more poo poo from sharefile and other pain in the rear end development stuff

I had that fun experience of copying a user's data from his old laptop to his new one the other day, going into his Pictures folders and watching a few rows of thumbnails of rugged shirtless cowboys populate before deciding to switch to details view. Thanks goodness for remote desktop and not doing it with him over my shoulder.

Don't let your boss know, or you'll be tasked with soldering in new caps for all of them. I'd also glance at the power delivery for that stack, see if there were any events that might have come through and killed the switches.

Florida user forgot their login, ignored I.T.'s attempts to follow up on the ticket, nobody got background checked on a gun for a yearquote:Infuriatingly, Wilde didn’t go through the proper channels to report the issue, choosing to send an email to the public email address for the Florida Department of Law Enforcement’s (FDLE) firearm purchasing program instead of directly contacting someone who could help. Her email was forwarded to the proper person, and she was informed the username she provided was wrong. Wilde was given the correct username, which hadn’t been used to login for more than a month, but still reported experiencing issues.

Turns out their uptime was 8.5 years, and so when powered off today, they did not turn back on. What is your rack layout like? That strikes me as a very long time for that number of ports. Rack layouts vary and sometimes it's not possible but -- not to sound smug -- ours allows a switch replacement process for failed units that makes replacement of each 48-port switch only a few minutes per switch. If you're using chassis or your rack layout interlaces switches and patch panels that'll be hard to do. Did all of the switches in all of these stacks refuse to power on? It's very unusual for that to happen all at once unless there was a big time power event. Do you have UPSes on these stacks? (If so, how old are these UPSes? I would expect to have to replace the units or at least the batteries after 5 to 7 years, but you said the uptime on these switches is past that.) You might want to schedule an ~annual switch reboot (reload at hh:mm dd month on Cisco IOS, as in reload at 23:00 30 june). Getting more backup stock shouldn't take too long if the money is there, maybe a month or so from a reseller, but at 8 1/2 years of age I'd wonder if I should be looking at replacing with a newer model instead. Whatever you're using is probably approaching EOL if it's not there already.

Good luck Nerdrock. All kids are different. My first would wake up for an hour+ if you flushed the toilet or squeaked the floor. Multiple times a night every night for the first six months. My second has been sleeping through the night since day one other than feedings. You just don’t know what to expect. Also you may need to sell your motorcycles anyway because your wife is going to want that space for strollers and wagons. Plus you will have zero free time to ride.

If you're using chassis or your rack layout interlaces switches and patch panels that'll be hard to do. They're the only things in the IDF closets, they're 1U switches with a 1U gap between them with the panels in the racks to each side, so we interwove them to move ports easy. The actual racking and moving for everything with cleanup probably only took a couple hours max. But there was a lot of fuckery between closets since the idiots configuring them couldn't figure it out and there was a lot of powering off and on. Corporate controls the switches, not the local team. We don't know what the gently caress they were doing. Of the 15 switches, ( 5 per stack) 4 had no power ever come back, and 10 just sat there with one solitary green light and never did anything else. The last 1 seems to have survived. The whole building is on a UPS, that's well maintained at least. So no power events AFAIK. They were generally working until we reset them, and they just never came back. The network people were pretty sure they'd fail on reboot. They didn't tell us why they thought that, if it was just the age or if they'd seen this before. Annual reboots will be part of the process with the replacements according to bossman. I've seen the quote for replacing our entire network infrastructure, everything shy of the cables. It's ALL EOL'ed. We have one advocate higher up that has been saying we really need to drop the coin to replace it, while everyone else that can approve that has that attitude of "Well, it's all still working isn't it? " So there'll be some conversations this week thanks to this event. The last two years have involved a company merger and change of leadership, so there is a lot of poo poo that got put to one side. It's all above my pay grade, I just deal with the fallout. EoRaptor posted:I guessing cap failure. Don't let your boss know, or you'll be tasked with soldering in new caps for all of them. Thankfully my boss isn't into loving around with repairs like that for something so critical.
