Restless sleep due to getting over a bout of "I haven't tried this *insert ethnic food* place before" and I was a drat zombie. My manager noticed that all I was doing was moving my mouse around attempting to work and sent me home. Not before a fatigue management lecture however. And as soon as I get home I feel absolutley fine, attempt to remote in to be honest and do some work....nope it's down, so beers here!

If you price it high enough, you only have to sell a few! This market theory is well documented in the literature with a lemonade stand as the example. See published work by Watterson, Bill.

evol262 posted:Erlang is really tricky and lovely about hostname resolution. Have you tried troubleshooting with Erl? This is so god drat true. It also tends to ignore DNS hostnames, so you have to hard code everything into /etc/hosts. But since this is being attempted on CentOS, it probably has some required package that is too old of a version. I do like CentOS, but god drat do they take forever to update their packages.

This week is going to suck, sorry this is more of a lovely business rant. Four of my coworkers are being laid off Wednesday, including my Jr. Admin/Desktop support tech. Just found out today and I'm not sure what to do. He'll get his bonus/severance/unemployment, but he just bought a house  . I knew it was going to happen sooner or later, we shrank so much this last year even I could not justify his position to my boss.

I just watched the last episode of Fringe on Netflix yesterday. Walter Bishop is pretty loving awesome. Back to your post, though, similar things have happened to me. My current gig, company got sold the day after I started. It got sold AGAIN 2 years after i started. For some reason, I'm still working there. I guess i'm lazy or something.

Where I live, I get to choose between slow aDSL and fast cable. The aDSL provider we're using has a fairly nice and neutral usage policy. The cable provider prohibits (freely translated) "running any servers, personal or commercial". I doubt they'd care about some ssh and a few games, but I don't want to commit to "let's hope they keep being nice". As I do every 6 months, I recently sent them a mail (through some anemic contact form) asking if they'd reconsider; so far they haven't answered that. They have, however, answered a tweet I also sent: Me: "Any chance of reconsidering the 'no private servers'-policy? Not tempting enough to swap the SSH servers for more bandwidth." Them: "Sadly, we are unable to restructure our network as of now".

Almost everything includes that in non business lines, they don't care unless you either use a gently caress ton of bandwidth or are making money. Even then they normally just call you and tell you to either cut it out or upgrade to business.

Pretty much this, it's there so that when Mr. "I'm-too-cheap-for-a-business-line-This-downtime-is-costing-me-THOUSANDS-!!!!" threatens legal action he doesn't have any basis for it. They won't care about some home use SSH servers, the traffic is no worse than your average multiplayer game that uses P2P instead of hosted servers.

Ugh. Other teams are doing poo poo in a less than ideal way, but I don't speak up because I'm stretched thin as it is. So my decision is to either work even harder, or sit back and watch people do things the wrong way. I might just be pissy today or something. Trying to give no fucks.

This doesn't piss me off because I don't have to deal with it, but it's still loving hilarious. So, a while back someone at the HDQ of my company (read: not someone in IT, since all the IT people including myself are at a different office) took it upon herself to upgrade a bunch of workstations of Office 2010. She is a complete loving dingbat airhead, so her logic was, I'll buy one copy of Office 2010 and upgrade all of these systems! That was 90 days ago as of yesterday. Guess what just happened?

Well poo poo, my review is next week. I've taken roughly four days off sick recently and its just hit me again. I really don't want to take more time off just before my review but I don't want to give it to anyone else. Bit of a pickle and its making me really angry. Two weeks from now and I wouldn't care.

Yeah, I really don't want to put this on anyone else. I think i'll offer to work from home, I can remote in and use my mobile to call customers back (better than the work phone lines right now anyway) and I won't give it to people. Just gotta see if my boss would be ok with me doing that.
