Phone interview done. Now I wait. /sigh

What did you apply for? I have been sick for what seems like a month, ever since I took that late flu shot. I dont know how everyone got along without me :person_climbing_medium-dark_skin_tone:

A "server administrator" position. I'll be part of a team, and from what I've gathered about the environment, it seems like a logical "next step" for me.

Hope you're feeling better.

I came across this at a client site today . I was so impressed I had to stop to take a picture. Looks like they were going for water tight flexible conduit.

They win Networks & Dragons!

Contemplating current infrastructure, seeing all the stuff that still needs improvement. . .

I know someone who can help with that

It's the stuff of "I Can't Even," some mine, some inherited, but at the very least (thanks to ML) I've learned a ton.

We made it to Friday!

Starting the hunt for less expensive apartment.

Just purchased some hard drives from xbyte.

Reading Jared's guide about setting up a reverse proxy:

/sigh A's lost, but at least got a basic configuration of NAT and firewall rules going on my VyOS VM.

About to head to FedEx to pack and ship my lab server to Colocation America.

Discussing if we need to rip out the tub now, or not. This small project is getting bigger by the moment.

Hello Scope Creep, my old friend.

I finally managed to nail the "magic guitar solo" on one of our new songs... I've never had such a hard time relearning something that I wrote. Now we just need 1x trombone solo and 2x lead vocals and the new album will be ready for mixing and mastering!

Why use a trombone solo, when you can hire a local saxophonist to play the part of tenor saxophone.

About to sit in on an interview.

It is to early to be starting a Monday... yet - here we are doing just that..

sigh.. needs coffee...

I'd rather just have more sleep.

About to watch the corporate office ping-pong finals. One of our DBAs vs. some other person in the company

Come on DBA! You can win!

He did. 2 straight (2 out of 3)

It's almost always possible to correct someone without being a jerk -- though it can be a challenge. It's impossible to control exactly how someone will perceive a correction or control how they'll respond to a correction.

I do agree with the OP about thread derailment. I'd rather see something like this.

Thread 1, Post 1, has an error. Post 2 corrects it. Post 3 argues post 2's correction. Forked thread for Post 4 - Post 100's debate on Post 2's correction. Once it's settled, return to Thread 1 to finish the discussion about Post 1's original point.

The above will probably never happen, but one can brainstorm :).

I have a feeling we may be moving to an impasse. In my experience I've found "brutal honesty" used to try to excuse the behavior of "being a dick."

Lamenting the fact I had to find something like this,(GCIM win32_operatingsystem).lastbootuptime, to give me the same results as uptime -s.

Weekend lab goal = complete! Configuration and tinkering begins later this week
