Bangalore Trip Day Two
or: Episode II, Attack of the Squirts
I’ve had very little time to myself, and thus very little time to write. The contractor they hired here to help me has been helpful indeed, but he was asked to “shadow” me and I think he may be taking it to a bit of an [...]

Right now, at this very moment, I am sincerely considering an enormous career move. I just wish I had the nerves right now, at this very moment, to come up with even a clue of what that new career would be.
I’ve never been one of the “FUCK MICRO$OFT!” a-holes, but in the last several months, [...]
More than ever before, these last few weeks have been extremely busy at work. This job has taught me that some people really do work for a living. Most days are non-stop “excitement” from the moment I set foot in the building until I leave. It’s rare that I don’t eat lunch at my desk [...]
Things that get remembered when you turn over all your hapzardly glued together scripts to your employee:
“What the hell does ‘donotrunthisscripteverunlessyouknowwhereyourtowelis.sh’ mean?”
In retrosopect, nobody ever ran that script. Of course, only one other guy had root and could run it. But still.
I’ve been increasingly worried about money lately. It seems no matter how much I try to cut the fat, I never end up accumulating savings at a decent rate, and then something happens that requires me to dip into those paltry savings and I start from scratch again.

Here I am, at work again
Complaining to you all

I need some help, but we’re so cheap
I cannot hire Jim
So now I have to make the leap
For some schmo half as leet as him
If you know any decent nerds
Who need some steady cheese
So long as they [...]
If you’re handy with Linux, NFS and possibly EVMS, please let me know. I need to pull in some help on a huge disaster at work.
Update: I finally got the problem solved, without compromise, around 7am. Thanks for the offers and moral support.
In about thirteen minutes, I will pull the trigger on probably the most dangerous IT stunt I’ve ever had to pull. I’ve been planning this for several months, and I have backups upon backups, so theoretically there’s room for a little bit of error. I’m still scared shitless.
With the high-availability needs of my co-workers, it [...]
Although I still narrate in rhyme
Listen up, there’s more this time
In two weeks I will leave the state
And then two more my job will wait
I’ll try to leave my work completely
On auto pilot, so they won’t need me
But such a statement leaves most laugin’
For we all know that shit does happen
So if you know a [...]
