Server Move

Have you noticed that my entries here aren’t nearly as funny as they were when I was working in Monorails?

A few days ago, my only Windows machine, squit, had a network card pop. Unfortunately my most recent Quicken data is sitting on there. Rather than buy a laptop or upgrade my Mac Mini (lady) to do the Boot Camp thing I decided to promote slappy (file server) to my desk and install vmware.

While installing vmware, I was also trying to learn how to configure porterhouse (the Sun Fire server). I set it up in what was formerly Tracie’s room because it’s so loud.

As if that wasn’t enough going on, Ryan and I were doing last minute configuration on chuck (my new-to-me Dell Poweredge 1650) and moving shank (a virtual machine that hosts proteinspill.com and several other sites) over to it. Hopefully nobody noticed the 20 minutes or so of downtime while the vm was copied over.

Yesterday I emailed Karin to ask about the possibility of going part time here at work. I’m working so much even my fun time looks a lot like work. She suggested that maybe I cut Disney.. what?! That’s my sanity break there. If I were to leave Disney completely, I’d have nothing to say to you people but stuff about traffic on I-4 and plugging computers together. Bleh

  2. Hey, is it true that a monorail caught on fire during the parade last week? I figured you might have heard something through a former co-worker.

  3. I heard that Lime had a problem similar to what happened to Orange last summer (resistor bank grounding out, putting up a nice smoke show) but I don’t have any details. Maybe someone else can help us out

  4. All I have to say is, don’t piss off Karin (whoever she is) and maybe mess up the chance of getting your contract renewed just because you want to continue to work for Disney. You may like it better, but you remember being broke, right?? :)
