Updating our dev/testing environment + coffee and reggae.

Wondering why I'm indoors on such a lovely day. Oh yeah... work.

@RojoLoco Was there anything good in there? I have determined I need to build the home lab back up.

Nope, all old junk, no servers in this run. But I have a pile of Dell 12G and 13G rack servers that are going to be on the chopping block soon.

The junk pile has been taken away for recycling! An estimated 2000lbs! And secure destruction of all the hard drives!

Junk cleaning at the office today. I get to purge a bunch of dead laptops, printers, and battery backups. Oh, and also the whole training room!!!

Waiting on the dough to chill so we can make some Jamaican beef patties!

I would guess human + power button. But it could be human + idrac power button.

That's what we thought, too. Happy to have more eyes on it. We BELIEVE a human walked over and hit the power button mistaking a request for reboot "approval" with a request for reboot. We were about to soft reboot from the hypervisor when it power cycled on us.

I think there would be a log entry in the idrac if it was initiated from there, so almost certainly a meatware issue.

We did a show on Saturday with our new drummer... turned out ok. Here's a link to the 1st two songs.

At the data center getting the final stuff set up for our disaster recovery system / 3rd backup.

Sweet! I wish you luck and good testing! ... You are going to test it, right?

We were going to test it, but I sat there all day waiting for my manager to get done with some call, so still at square one on this project.

Preparing myself for a long rehearsal... we have to get the new drummer up to speed quick, we booked a gig for March 4th!

May it be productive

It was very productive. We're nailing everything without the click track. It's all coming together like Voltron.

Securing some new dev laptops, then it's off to the local FedExery to ship them out.
