2012-06-14T11:33:59  <oddball> Whoops, looks like a round of layoffs is going through.  Several "it's been nice working with you" emails coming through.
2012-06-14T11:38:21  <benthemeek> eww yucky
2012-06-14T11:38:34  <benthemeek> I hate those kind of days oddball
2012-06-14T11:50:01  <oddball> Annnnnd my boss has been given a different position.  I'm guessing a downgrad since he suddenly took a couple days off starting yesterday afternoon.
2012-06-14T12:00:06  <Dagmar> Break a bunch of shit
2012-06-14T12:00:36  <Dagmar> If they've cut staff below the point where you can reasonably operate, break some shit
2012-06-14T12:01:25  <Dagmar> Make it painfully clear there's a minimum amount of man hours they have to allow for for operations to proceed normally
2012-06-14T12:01:58  <Dagmar> After last night I'm just about ready to start circulating my resume around
2012-06-14T12:02:16  <Dagmar> If I hear one motherfucker try to lay the blame for downtime on me, I will cause an "incident"
2012-06-14T12:02:25  <Dagmar> I'm sick of the pampered bullshit that's going on here.
2012-06-14T12:03:32  <oddball> Dagmar: I work for a large international company that supplies software to other large international companies.  I'd have to break all sorts of shit before they noticed.
2012-06-14T12:03:48  <Dagmar> Sounds like you have your work cut out for you then.
2012-06-14T12:04:18  <Dagmar> oddball: I had to reboot a couple boxes last night to get the fucking backup agent working again
2012-06-14T12:04:30  <Dagmar> Guess which department STILL DOESN'T UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT OF DAEMON
2012-06-14T12:04:32  <oddball> And, frankly, I haven't been here long enough to really know if this is cutting down to far or just cutting down.
2012-06-14T12:04:42  <oddball> heh
2012-06-14T12:04:57  <Dagmar> I have no idea what this amateur hour bullshit is about, but I'm sick of it
2012-06-14T12:05:18  <oddball> I know there will be some pain due to knowledge loss, but beyond that...
2012-06-14T12:05:18  <Dagmar> Troy and I are responsible for literally everything that fucking touches the LInux boxes here, somehow
2012-06-14T12:05:40  <Dagmar> ...and for this we seem to always wind up taking the blame when some pampered fucktard does something stupid
2012-06-14T12:06:27  <Dagmar> Listening to "admins" not know which machine I'm talking about when I'm talking about it by it's exact freaking hostname is lunacy incarnate
2012-06-14T12:06:37  <Dagmar> Michael wanted to claim he didn't know which machine I was rebooting.
2012-06-14T12:06:57  <Dagmar> I'm like, it was in both the subject and body of the email where you guys told me to do it at 9pm instead of 6pm
2012-06-14T12:09:12  <Dagmar> So, not only is it somehow my responsibility to keep the machines running, it's my responsibility to keep their services running, my responsibility to know where their services are, and my responsibility to maintain them
2012-06-14T12:09:17  <Dagmar> Fuck these people.
2012-06-14T12:09:18  <Dagmar> SEriously.
2012-06-14T12:10:17  <Dolemite> Sounds like a real fustercluck
2012-06-14T12:10:43  <Dagmar> Slowly but surely you're actually being absolved of the bullshit, man
2012-06-14T12:11:02  <Dolemite> Hahaha, no more blaming on me?
2012-06-14T12:11:15  <Dagmar> I'm going to be climbing through the phones at people today if I hear those guys try blaming the 30 minutes of non-redundancy on me
2012-06-14T12:11:31  <Dagmar> No, now I can see why you'd wind up doing that
2012-06-14T12:11:40  <Dagmar> THese guys just arne't interested in doing professional work
2012-06-14T12:13:11  <Dolemite> Yeah, you can lead the whores to water, but you can't make them think
2012-06-14T12:13:21  <Dagmar> I know in the last year at least twice I have told them services shouldn't require an admin to be present when the system is rebooted
2012-06-14T12:13:32  <Dolemite> Hell, you know the trouble we had just trying to get admins to enter service checks for their own systems in Nagios...
2012-06-14T12:13:48  <Dagmar> ...and they didn't even know what system I was talking to them about when I had to start calling them.
2012-06-14T12:13:49  <Dolemite> They're too damn lazy
2012-06-14T12:14:00  <Dagmar> Dolemite: Oh they've totally stopped doing that now
2012-06-14T12:14:09  <Dolemite> And the Med Center people actually disconnect at 5 PM
2012-06-14T12:14:33  <Dagmar> There's a new girl I had hopes for who tried, got it all entirely wrong to the point where Cacti couldnl't even export it, and then went and just put them in SCOM anyway
2012-06-14T12:14:48  <Dagmar> Dolemite; You ain't shitting
2012-06-14T12:14:51  <Dolemite> So Nagios is more of a ghost town these days?
2012-06-14T12:15:13  <Dagmar> They "merged" ITS's Unix (which is only Troy and myself now) with EAI
2012-06-14T12:15:13  <Dolemite> SCOM is a great tool, but not for actual monitoring.
2012-06-14T12:15:28  <Dolemite> Yeah, Troy was telling me about the culture changes
2012-06-14T12:15:32  <Dagmar> No, Nagios is running like a top becuase I've been in there repeatedly tweaking and improving the checks
2012-06-14T12:16:10  <Dagmar> I gotta get some clear space in the day to try something that might actually finally solve the random snmp misses problem.  The UDP recieve buffers are apparently still smaller than a couple jumbo frames
2012-06-14T12:16:40  <Dagmar> ...but it doesn't even matter because half the time you get blank stares askig someone what it is they want to test
2012-06-14T12:17:27  <Dagmar> They want to bog down and obssess over the fact that there's no rigid schedule for when tests occur
2012-06-14T12:17:42  <Dolemite> Yeah, and the always crazy Q: "What do you want to meter via SNMP in Cacti?"  A:  "Oh, whatever you think needs to be metered."
2012-06-14T12:17:46  <Dagmar> ...and then not actually define what it was they needed testing
2012-06-14T12:18:12  <Dagmar> Yeah awstats broke a long while back.  Another thing I have to find a couple of days to seriously dig into and fix everywhere
2012-06-14T12:18:45  <Dagmar> I'm not filing a change for that.  It's not happening if I have to do that.
2012-06-14T12:19:09  <Dagmar> I'm not wasting any more time writing up paperwork just so Taj can pretend she's not simply holding things up.
2012-06-14T12:19:13  <Dolemite> Heh, do you have to run everything through Med Center's change management, now that you're in EAI?
2012-06-14T12:19:26  <Dolemite> Or wait, EAI never bothered to enter changes in either system
2012-06-14T12:19:27  <Dagmar> If I say "zero impact" I mean "zero impact" so they should just shut up and approve it
2012-06-14T12:19:46  <Dagmar> I finally got two magic tickets in about website replication
2012-06-14T12:20:10  <Dagmar> It took two days to write a new, really obsessive script to eliminate all the bugs from the one Peter got pushed into coding in a hurry
2012-06-14T12:20:15  <Dagmar> Two more days to test the crap out of it
2012-06-14T12:20:24  <Dagmar> *THREE MONTHS* for managers to stop fucking around
2012-06-14T12:21:04  <Dagmar> They didnt' even want to listen when I was trying to explain what our one sole risk factor there was: "It might start working"
2012-06-14T12:21:30  <Dagmar> Everything in a filename that could be problematic was breaking the replication script
2012-06-14T12:23:06  <Dagmar> Users were across the board treaating it like an angry voodoo god
2012-06-14T12:23:41  <Dagmar> I'm still waiting for someone to complain that their files were being synched unidirectionally instead of bidirectionally, and they never noticed because it wasn't working before
2012-06-14T12:36:59  <Dolemite> woot.  git commit done, time for some lunch.

2012-06-14T22:26:06  <Bahhumbug> No, it's definitely her voice.
2012-06-14T22:26:17  <Bahhumbug> I twitch just thinking about it.
2012-06-14T22:27:59  <Bahhumbug> Is Canada's Showcase rebroadcast on Comcast?
2012-06-14T22:28:45  <Evilpig> I hve no idea what that is
2012-06-14T22:29:04  <Bahhumbug> It's a Canuck cable station.
2012-06-14T22:29:11  <Bahhumbug> Continuum is on it, for instance.
2012-06-14T22:29:19  <Evilpig> never heard of it
2012-06-14T22:29:37  <Bahhumbug> Continuum's not a bad show if you ever get bored.
2012-06-14T22:29:44  <Bahhumbug> And it looks like it's Canuckland only.
2012-06-14T22:29:53  <Evilpig> I am often bored, howeverthis is not one of those times.
2012-06-14T22:30:02  <Evilpig> told dolemite I would try to get this installer written tonight.
2012-06-14T22:30:43  <Dagmar> One googles down.
2012-06-14T22:30:44  <Dagmar> One to go.
2012-06-14T22:30:45  <Evilpig> plus i'm supposed to try to find an alternate graphic for the rocket I have on the PN site because notlarry doesn't like it.  and I refuse to have nothing there becuase it looks like complete ass
2012-06-14T22:30:59  <Dagmar> What rocket
2012-06-14T22:31:24  <Evilpig> phreaknic.info
2012-06-14T22:31:24  <Evilpig> that one
2012-06-14T22:32:18  <Dagmar> Okay
2012-06-14T22:32:33  <Dagmar> I will sees what I can come up with over hte weekend
2012-06-14T22:32:58  <Dagmar> I will use the fancy css fonts and culurs
2012-06-14T22:33:27  <Dagmar> I have a need to draw pictures with crayons
2012-06-14T22:34:08  <Dagmar> I.e., if it don't do something "creative" soon, there will be homocides
2012-06-14T22:34:39  <Dagmar> Or, if you wanted to drive people nuts...
2012-06-14T22:34:45  <Dagmar> Instagram filters on everything.
2012-06-14T22:35:11  <Dagmar> I like the slideshow widget
2012-06-14T22:35:33  <Evilpig> the slide show doesn't totaly break the shit out of stuff if JS is disabled either
2012-06-14T22:35:40  <Dagmar> eheh
2012-06-14T22:35:56  <Evilpig> when you have rattle and others picking this shit apart you have to think about that
2012-06-14T22:36:12  <Evilpig> I am going to design an alternate all pink and sparkles theme this weekend
2012-06-14T22:36:15  <Dagmar> I kinda think anything refusing to run js should just go monochrome black on green with pictures of old televisions
2012-06-14T22:36:35  <Evilpig> Dagmar: that can be done.
2012-06-14T22:36:46  <Evilpig> put an alternate stylesheet in a set of noscript tags
2012-06-14T22:37:05  <Dagmar> It's 2012.  Sandbox or GTFO peoples
2012-06-14T22:37:21  <Evilpig> OH!  I need a picture of rattle IN the cowboy hat turned into a simpsons character for the mobile version
2012-06-14T22:37:31  <Evilpig> there is you something to do with crayons
2012-06-14T22:37:32  <Dagmar> That's a bit easymode
2012-06-14T22:37:35  <Dagmar> hehe
2012-06-14T22:38:17  <Evilpig> since he hated the site last year cause of the hover menu and mobile devices I want just a picture of him with a chatbubble that says something like "this mobile site sucks" and then i'll have a mostly text version of hte site below that
2012-06-14T22:38:18  <Dagmar> I will take one more shot at making a BCD happen now
2012-06-14T22:38:51  <Dagmar> Yeah I am kinda thinking the whole "mobile device" thing needs to be ignored now
2012-06-14T22:39:27  <Dagmar> Everything I've seen lately is either capable of text by breaking a sweat, or manages to display normal pages just fine (sans font size issues)
2012-06-14T22:39:50  <Dagmar> CERTAIN sites on the web piss me off on a regular basis kicking my XOom over to their mobile site _unconditionally_
2012-06-14T22:40:05  <Dagmar> It *always* looks like crap when that happens
2012-06-14T22:40:34  <Evilpig> I was just gonna put a button to swap to a lower bandwidth / mobile friendly version via cookie
2012-06-14T22:40:46  <Evilpig> how simple machine forums does it.  sorta
2012-06-14T22:41:12  <Dagmar> Well, we do have a shitload of mobile devices to test with
2012-06-14T22:41:41  <Dagmar> You wouldn't know anything about Win7's BCD would you
2012-06-14T22:43:01  <Dagmar> I was looking into the HPET thing earlier this week
2012-06-14T22:43:18  <Dagmar> It *may* be what's fucking over my FPS
2012-06-14T22:43:40  <Dagmar> On in BIOS, but Win7 is not generating a BCD so I can't force it to only use HPET
2012-06-14T22:44:20  <Dagmar> Going to reboot now and find out if it's eaten my MBR for good
2012-06-14T22:44:34  <Evilpig> can't say I know much about it
2012-06-14T22:44:50  <Evilpig> all my win7 systems are single boot and all smaller HDs
2012-06-14T22:46:42  <Evilpig> the bcdedit looks fairly straight forward but probably will easily fuck you over at the same time
2012-06-14T22:57:41  <Dagmar> Especially when it's missing
2012-06-14T22:58:00  <Dagmar> I jhust got a big fat screenful of "MISSING OPERATING SYSTEM"
2012-06-14T22:58:24  <Dagmar> However, going into the BIOS and rearranging a few things, it figured shit out again.
2012-06-14T22:58:37  <Dagmar> I am not sure what the stink is going on with the chainloader now
2012-06-14T22:59:16  <Dagmar> C:\Boot\BCD was actually not there, so the bcdedit /set useplatformclock true was failing abysmally
2012-06-14T22:59:29  <Dagmar> Apparently if you don't use Windows MBR, you don't deserve one
2012-06-14T22:59:52  <Evilpig> hrmm.  I swear i've heard of people using the newer versions of grub succesfully
2012-06-14T23:00:03  <Evilpig> but that might have been off an alternate drive or something
2012-06-14T23:00:04  <Dagmar> Oh yeah I've been booting with LILO and GRUB for months
2012-06-14T23:00:31  <Dagmar> Windows, for reasons which are painfully obvious, doesn't tolerate things like that much anymore
2012-06-14T23:00:38  <Evilpig> time to move to the desk.  battery on the netbook is about toast.  couch has been comfy though
2012-06-14T23:00:53  <Dagmar> So... no BCD means nowhere to store the setting to enable HPET fully
2012-06-14T23:00:58  <Dagmar> That's pro
2012-06-14T23:02:33  <Dagmar> Okay, NOW I have a fucking BCD
2012-06-14T23:03:14  <Dagmar> This HPET baggery may have been what's been screwing up video overlays on the newer nVidia drivers
2012-06-14T23:03:25  <Dagmar> I can't stand watching things with this damn flicker
2012-06-14T23:05:03  <Dagmar> Still flickery.  Rebooting again
2012-06-14T23:05:25  <Dagmar> EasyBCD is not a bad tool
2012-06-14T23:05:36  <Evilpig> I think i've used that
2012-06-14T23:05:48  <Dagmar> I couldn't do anything useful with it _without_ a BCD last night, but it looks pretty handy
2012-06-14T23:05:57  <Evilpig> I used something like that to fix the HD at the days inn when I swapped HDs
2012-06-14T23:06:20  <Evilpig> cause vista was all bitchy about the ID of the drive changing and not wanting to boot
2012-06-14T23:06:22  <Dagmar> Hell apparently Ultimate has a memtest utility built into it that can be hooked
2012-06-14T23:06:31  <Evilpig> all win7 does
2012-06-14T23:06:37  <Evilpig> which that is about damn time
2012-06-14T23:06:46  <Dagmar> In theory the HPET is now the only timer mechanism it'll use
2012-06-14T23:06:49  <Dagmar> Let's see
2012-06-14T23:07:07  <Dagmar> I've been assuming my CPU was topping out
2012-06-14T23:07:29  <Dagmar> It may have been just that with HPET enabled Windows has been making really bad decisions about which other timers to use.
2012-06-14T23:07:43  <Dagmar> ...which would suprise absolutely no one I htink.
2012-06-14T23:15:38  <Dagmar> Still flickery.  Damn.
2012-06-14T23:31:12  <NotLarry> It is getting cold in here.
2012-06-14T23:32:40  <Dagmar> Oh damn the suit
2012-06-14T23:32:41  <Dagmar> lol
2012-06-14T23:52:45  <Evilpig> suit?
2012-06-14T23:57:00  <Evilpig> you're still watchign eureka
2012-06-14T23:57:02  <Evilpig> nm
