I didn't buy his second mixtape. I still have his first one lying around somewhere, never listened to it. The lady I talked to at the Deli brought him up. "He came in a while ago and I bought a CD from him. It was awful!"

Here's a song by him: https://soundcloud.com/claytg/coffee-and-buns

This is just amazing.

I can't stop laughing every time he says "cauwhfee." His whole song is so inadvertantly un-threatening and adorable :3:

It's really starting to grind my gears, I tell you.

Anyways, details. I didn't get the school job. I ended up getting an IT Director position at a factory. Leading a team of 4. I start first of the year, to give me a chance to finish moving into my new place and getting divorce paperwork finalized for the final stretch, but that's as much as I really know at this point. Gonna head in next week for some orientation.

Yeah, I'm in the same boat. Like I knew they existed, but I never knew what horrible pieces of poo poo they were. Now when I'm at Microcenter and I see them sitting there on the shelf I start laughing. Yeah, I get a lot of funny looks, but what do they know, right?

Backstory: A set of developers use a server for a shared workspace for working with Eclipse. I've pushed and pushed and pushed against this, but whatever - you can only do so much. At least it's not a production VM.

Ticket: "Folder Access"
Content: " when Eclipse tries to access this folder, it displays an error message:
WORKSPACE UNAVAILABLE.
Workspace in use or cannot be created, choose a different one"

HMMMM. I dunno champ. Maybe its "in use" by one of your buddies, sharing the same Eclipse installation, on the same server?

I swapped out a RAID controller battery in a Nexsan unit which involves swapping the volumes over to the other controller and failing the other one to pop it.

Turns out this causes one of the linux boxes here to freak the gently caress out and crash. This should't have happened but I'm assuming it saw a change in the LUN mapping and promptly poo poo itself.

Also the battery looks like something the bomb squad would be very interested it. I need to remember to take it out of my bag before I fly home for Christmas.

hihifellow: Jun 17, 2005; seriously where the fuck did this genre come from

I've got a nightly script that drifts password last set times so they don't expire on our users in the middle of the day. It runs and drops logs on one of my secondary domain controllers, so I c$ share in to take a look at the logs.

code:

Error: host unreachable

Uhhhhhh let's try rdp

code:

Error: host unreachable

Well is it talking to the other domain controllers??

code:

Error: replication failed to DC3.Foo last 5 times. 
   Last successful replication at 6:43:00

wheeeee

Turns out because it was our lone physical DC and because no one changed the label from what it used to be before it was a DC when they cleaned out the racks this morning they saw it, went "that's not in use anymore", and unracked the box. Thankfully caught it before it got wiped and tossed.
