What Are You Doing Right Now
-
Came in to chaos, fortigate blew up sometime early this morning. Zero interwebz for 3.5h and counting.
Really wish I could help my boss more than running interference and Joe jobs. I know what I'm doing is important but its not as much as I could be doing.

Debating the life expectancy of a PATA drive in this old ASUS Netbook and if I want to replace it with a SSD drive or just get another piece of spinny rust. It currently has a 140GB drive in it..
Only reason I'm keeping it is for back up and to run in the truck ( the PSU is a true 12v power system, so it will run direct).

PATA drives? Wow!

your netbook has a PATA drive? How will you put a SSD in there? aren't all SSDs SATA?

Pretty sure PATA SSD exists, but maybe I just imagined that.

yes they aren't very large,.. 32GB - but they are there

If you're trying to revive a laptop with PATA, odds are capacity is your last concern.

LOL damn!

It is,.. It is still running, WinXP - but it is running. Currently even with all the games and iTunes data, only about 34GB is being used. The planned OS for this will be Linux Mint.

First days are always filled with waiting, paperwork, waiting, introductions waiting, more paper work and here's your office.
Congrats!

I've got the office and workstation setup. Done most of the introductions... now waiting for access and direction. So far so good though.

Enjoy the quiet!

I always liked the feeling of the first day. Kind of like a first date.

Hopefully Ubiquiti comes out with an update soon. We can't use L2TP for the billing office because there's an issue with openswan/strongswan where if you have multiple clients coming from one NATed address it won't work. Granted, that's a stupid set up because you would just set up a site-to-site but since the other end refuses to do that, we pretty much have our hands tied.

I wish - one of my old jobs was labeled as an "assistant" position and I applied hoping to learn from whoever I was assisting. I had some skills from doing a similar position for a college group, but nothing formal or extensive. My first day was a group orientation going over general employee manual stuff, then we separated to go into job-specific training.
Turns out I was "assisting" the organization as a whole by being the entire department. My training was "here's the account password, good luck and this is what we need by the end of the week!" My predecessor had already moved on, and as I frantically searched for documentation I mostly just found their plans to eventually write documentation and be there to help transition. Neither happened, so I got to spend about a year straight furiously googling how to do various aspects of my job.
On the bright side, they were one of my first freelance clients as soon as I left, so I guess it turned out okay
