Just cleared 100+ critical errors from our backup system... because I remembered that this happened before. We have a good, verified checkpoint from today, then 3 minutes later the next one failed. Good thing I knew where I had stored the secret commands!

Working through a list of systems that need to be rebooted... I'm seeing some absolutely horrifying uptime numbers.

horrifying, or impressive?

Sometimes I'm not sure.

Powershell- reboot =$all_system over 168hrs

How very optimistic of you to assume hours...

About to audition a new drummer!

Is it hard to drum up a drummer?

Ah, good one! But yes, it has been an agonizing experience. All the good drummers who actually conduct themselves in a professional manner are in 3 bands already. Until last night, the ones that have shown up were grossly unprepared. What part of "learn 2 or 3 songs for the audition" is ambiguous? We gave them all the time they needed, their choice of songs, etc. So many amateurs. Which is really sad when they are in their 40s (like us). You've had half a lifetime to develop some kind of work ethic.

May your drummer drum well!

I think this guy might be the one!

Working on inventory documentation for an upcoming self audit. Yuck.

Coffee and science...

Everyone back up, @RojoLoco is trying science.

I have a black t shirt that says exactly that! Well, it says "stand back..." Even better, I accidentally splashed some bleach onto it first time I washed it, so it has legit chemical damage!

Coffee and science...

Got some heavy tunes blasting, coffee brewing (again)... so much to do before heading across town for the xmas-ing.

I also just remembered it is 17F out, so I finally put a space heater in the garage to keep those pipes from freezing.

@Pete-S no doubt. I'm trying to put the list together for the shutdowns. But I also just double checked the email alerts on the iDRACs, everything is working.

Just got notified that our server room air conditioner is going to be shut down as of 3pm to keep it from freezing. So now I get to keep 1 eye ony phone all weekend. Or maybe it will be ok through tomorrow while the India team is working and then I'll shut it all down.

Making sure that nobody breaks anything before the holidays

That's what I told everyone in the morning meeting.

Just put in a ticket to get our new VDI servers racked up... also trying not to freeze to death (southern version). See below:

As you can see, the apocalypse will occur sometime over the weekend. Between holidays and the looming lack of temperature, I'm afraid to go outside. Probably WW3 going on at Walmart right now.

went xmas shopping for my wife. mmmmmm. tricky.

I actually managed to get most of the gifts for my GF early... which means I will spend the next week or so trying to figure out where I hid some of them...

@siringo said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

@travisdh1 that's a good idea.

I know it's a shipt topic, but ....

I can remember the trouble my mum had when dad passed away & there's been a few folks who are friends of friends who have died suddenly, just makes you think....

My Mom often tells me about where she has passwords/account numbers/etc written down and locked in a safe. Morbid but necessary shit. I had to think about it myself when I spent 3 weeks in hospital. Nobody would be able to get into anything of mine, personal or work.

I'm actually in the office today... yuck. But I guess I can work on the ever-growing junk pile. And if I get really bored, I might just work on some documentation.

I went to the historical Plaza Theater in Atlanta last night to see Chunky Shrapnel - the live concert documentary film by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard! What an absolutely beautiful, powerful piece of work. Glad I saw it on a big screen with big sound, the way the audio is done is so crazy and psychedelic.

Rainy Saturday... Not helping the effort to dry out the new kitchen floor. The water line to the ice maker had been leaking long enough for water to appear between the boards. Luckily it's fancy new laminate that is waterproof. The manufacturer guarantees it for 72 hours completely underwater, and my contractor said it's fine as long as we get it dry. So every fan and space heater has been called to activate duty, and I got a dehumidifier to boot.
