Asleep at the Wheel 40 Miles Left to Go
…the migration is finally done. There will be garbage collection until the end of July, and then I get to eBay a ton of old Compaq shit. thousands of websites, over a hundred thousand mail accounts, and thousands of domains moved. It’s been a challenging project on a number of levels. The hard part is […]
I guess Pat couldn’t bear to be the only one whining and complaining about everything, so he made sure he’d have company. Ah well – better there than here, that’s all I can say.
So I listen to “An Open Letter to NYC” from the new Beastie Boys CD, and I find myself incredibly – I mean INCREDIBLY– homesick. The BQE was the road to the airport, I’ve traveled on the 1-9 lines, I know the Battery to the top of Manhattan. New York does make it happen, and […]
I can’t see the difference… can you see the difference? On the left is me in a pic at the peak of my large-ness. I was around 245lbs. in that one. On the right is me as of a couple weeks ago. I am 195 there, and am aiming to drop another 10-15 over the […]
Alrighty – the run went really well, and I feel great for the first time in ages. The calf is sore, but overall I feel really good. I managed to put 7.5k on my shoes in 25 degree weather and stupid humidity without dying. I also took in the lovely protestors at the NAC this […]
My calf still hurts – it shouldn’t take this long to heal, should it? oh wait – 6-8 weeks – riiight. Thankfully, it’s only a dull ache now, so I can plod through and it feels relatively decent after 10-15 minutes of work. I’m thinking there’s just a little bit of scar tissue there, still. […]
Awesome.
Well, the results of the migration are in, and it was a success all the way around. The most common problem this time around was people who were unaware there was a migration on (and the only reason they noticed was because they couldn’t upload new content because the conventions changed a little). All in […]
Just got an e-mail from our Captain, and it looks like we’ll be dropping down to Tier 5. He received a note regarding how moving up and dropping down after the first three games will be made, and it goes something like this: “The benchmark for moving up in this shuffle (as told to me […]
Alrighty, the migration went very smoothly this evening – a very different experience from the last time. The pre-test went almost perfectly, with only a minor hiccup with some unexpected lag from making some config changes to an MTA and a couple of zonefiles that didn’t load properly. We were able to move the final […]
