well gently caress me if I wasn't just thinking 'hey, I could really use a partner for mushroom sorting and cutting on an industrial scale!'

Huh. Van Asseldonk is pretty much the best name ever for a mushroom company.

niceee saved a production database tonight solely by virtue of my creative "hacking" skills. dumb poo poo moved a mission critical SQL database application to a new server this weekend. I'm responsible for managing the database, but don't have SU on the new server. The admin copied a version of the database that was like a week old, which is a huge fuckup. So, I had to restore a database from a more recent backup before 7am, and while I had permissions to create new databases and assign myself rights to them, this dumb as poo poo admin didn't give me rights on the DB he transferred over, so I couldn't drop it and recreate it from my newer backup. even though I had rights to drop tables. which I realized after I jus fuckin drop EVERY table. I was freaking the gently caress out because it's basically I'd lose a client if the app wasn't live in the morning, and the app was basically completely dead. all the front end for the DB is PHP, and references the old production DB name, and uses a user I had no idea the credentials for to connect to it. so over the 45 minute course of slowly realizing how hosed I was going to be in several hours, I suddenly realize I have admin rights to the webserver the front end for the DB is housed on. I don't know a thing about the code or how to configure it, but so I just download a local copy of the entire webserver and start digging around like a greppin' pro. I eventually find where the connection string is stored in the app's config file, and lo and behold, there's the user with the unknown password, but it's sitting there hashed. buahahha. so I copy the hashed password, rewrite the connection string to reference a new database on the server, create that new database, upload all the tables and poo poo from my backup, and then because I have owner privileges on that DB, assign this user the appropriate rights, upload my modified config to the front-end webserver, hit refresh, and badabing badabam I just saved the day.  IT work can be pretty dull, but it has it's moments too I guess. It's a cool feeling when everything is about to explode but then you lateral-think hard enough and are able to come up with a creative solution.

also it's fun working with small businesses because "oh let's just do everything on the production server over the weekend with no backup or clear discussion between parties involved? what could possibly go wrong!!!"

That.. that is what I miss hard from the days where people would allow me to actually touch productive systems. The tight deadlines, the building panic, the dark metal pumping in your headphones, punishing your eardrums to the brink of hemoraging, the coffeine, nicotine and whatever -ine there is in poor pizzas, while the world closes in around you, and night gradually starts turning to dawn. The metal taste of the rushes of the adrenalin flooding your brain, followed up by the sweet, sweet feeling of success - looking for more code to crunch, or something, anything to gently caress. It is the best high I've ever had, alcohol or hash doesn't even come close.

I guess that depends on if you are a girl or boy, what race (or animal, or whatever you guys call it) you're cosplaying, how many other people are in the shot, the quality of your fursuit, what the ambience is like, how convincing your dialog is, how the sun glistens off your fur, how drunk I am, how dirty you're willing to talk, what I had for dinner that night, the quality of the pictures/video, if you have HIV/AIDS or not, if you're available, if you've already got children, if you like cilantro, how many times you've flown overseas, if you think depeche mode is a legitimate form of music, what you think of the number 2, how much you weigh, if you like computers, what color your hair is, et cetera

I mean - a trojan is something that is the outcome of a sneaky and sly plan (ok - there it fits), filled with little guys(fits too), gives the receiver joy (fits too), but will burst open when you least expect it, and out will come all the little guys who will display their wroth by wreaking havoc, and generally ruining everybodys day! Why would you use that as a brand?

But that's because you share a common misconception about the Trojans. Actually, it was the Greeks who were sneaky and sly. The Trojans lived in a fortified city state that was reputedly unconquerable.

I love lunches where I get to down delicious brews. Went to a beer focused bar for lunch today (they don't serve food, but they allow people to bring in food so we brought a pizza). Got two draft beers there: a Milk Stout Nitro from Left Hand Brewing Co. and a Sofie from Goose Island. The Milk Stout was a bit too sweet for a stout for my taste, but still drat good. The Sofie was superb; tart and a touch sour, but not overbearingly so, with a wonderful nose and a smooth finish. Extremely quaffable and just delightful. Man, work in the afternoon is just so much more pleasant with a slight buzz.
