What Are You Doing Right Now

Recovering after a power loss here.

Not sure what happened, but there were two explosions and the main cables between poles exploded off the poles.

And a tree was on fire.

Michael Bay making a movie again?

This should be interesting... Power back on yet, or did you get a visit by the fire department... details man... details!

The fire department was definitely here. A Marshall, and a few police cars.

I shut everything down before the UPS ran out. The power people (PSEG) came after about an hour. They took out that segment and somehow got the power back on, but they warned us they'll be back to rewire the part that is now missing.

I'll admit I am not well versed in power distribution at that level.

At one place I worked, several buildings on the same block were owned by the same people and it had a private high voltage transformer (not sure if Auto Bot or Deceptacon ) to distribute power to all the buildings. We didn't know this when we relocated there (24x7 data requirements). One day the transformer went "pop!" and well... mains power was out for a week. It took a while to figure out what it was, being that the transformer was a fair way up the street.

Long story short, the building owners did get a generator the size of a 20' sea container (can't remember the KVA rating) as a work around for everyone, so we were only without power for two days.

I switched my SW email account away from my work account so my work mailbox didn't get filled with their spam.

Got an email today in my work mailbox from "$person from Spiceworks Desktop App"...

Not happy. IMO The desktop app shouldn't allow this to happen. Unsubscribed and they had an option to tell them that I thought it was spam... so dutifully, I reported it.

The desktop app was not on the list of options for our new helpdesk app. The above spam just cements its exclusion.

Things must be getting desperate.

Arguing with an Elastix system that does not want to conform to my idea of logic.

So I told it to piss off and wrote up a couple cron commands to make it do what i wanted.

Basically I need multiple destinations hit with multiple time conditions and could not logic it out via the built in time conditions and time groups settings.

SO I went the old fashioned route and setup the single time condition with an override day/night group and then set another day/night group in front to handle the extra, but I toggled that day/night setting via cron.
