It's the scheduled day at the office. Prior to sitting down at my
desk:
- I get a call from R (for whom I manage a few servers). One of R clients
is mentioning the terms “proxy,” “multiple IP addresses” and “redundant servers,” which to me
screams “reverse proxy” which
means at best, a recompile of Apache (since I never compiled in
reverse proxy support) or worse, a complete reinstall of the latest version
of Apache. Oh, and the client wants it done by tonight.
- There are no parking spots available at the office. None. I
have to drive to the end of the building and around the corner before I'm
able to find a parking spot. This has never happened in the few years I've
been working with Smirk.
- The three-phase power system to the Data Center is blown. We're running
on the backup generator and the three A/C units in the Data Center are off line.
It can only get better from here, right? Right?
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
