07:50 <@Mirage> Seems like this new customer is showing us some other IBM proprietary thing in each KT Session.  They have made comments several times about how "I'm sure you're already familiar with this..", which I respond back, "As a general rule, Dell doesn't like us using IBM solutions.  So, no...we're not familiar with it."
08:05 < Evilpig> lol
08:05 < Evilpig> I think we had some ibm something or other at vandy for license audits maybe?  bigfix?
08:19 <@Mirage> For the *nix boxes they mostly use eDirectory and iManager, which both apparently started life as Novell Directory Services.  Their NAS solution is IBM Elastic Storage.  "reverse proxy" (essentially a massively dumbed down F5) is another IBM thing.  They have at least a couple AIX 'PowerVM' environments (IBM's hypervisor-type solution), which is apparently the only virtual environment that has resources 
08:19 <@Mirage> for new deployments as their ESX environment is oversubscribed (go figure).
08:20 <@Mirage> The crazy spaghetti that VU was when I first started has NOTHING on this place
10:18 <@Dagmar> That's kind of impressive
10:30 < Evilpig> Dagmar: you can tell audra that I have been delivered discovery from the lunatic crew in VA.  and ashley's attorney is now representing her sister as well.
12:56 < Evilpig> I like the description of this one.  https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/975773

13:28 < Synx_> we need rfid or something else implants that store our current med status (scripts, diagnosis, etc), will or power of attorney, and things like DNR
13:29 < Synx_> or an id that directs you to this data online
13:30 <@Dagmar> ...and we can even have the Chinese host it for us
13:35 < Synx_> haha ya, and im sure the christians out there are going to call it the mark of the beast
13:36 < Synx_> but seriously as a standard like for pets, a system like that would be extremely helpful for ER staff and first responders
13:37 < Synx_> i dont want to have to be resuscitated just to tell them that i didn't want to be resuscitated 
13:38 < Synx_> thanks for breaking my ribs can you stop and let me die now please
13:59 < Evilpig> I like the idea, but if you had it simple like rfid and I bumped up against you in the subway with a smartphone and just overwrote it.  even encryption wouldn't help because you'd ahve to make keys available to doctors, etc and those would leak
14:00 < Synx_> ya good point
14:01 < Evilpig> having just collected all my medical records it would be convenient to have a quicker way to do that too
14:22 < Synx_> ya my records are spread out all over the country
14:23 < Synx_> at least i got the stuff all together from mil time
14:29 < Synx_> i guess in the future, something that has compute so it can do crypto/auth like a CA that hospitals get etc and can be powered wirelessly
