that moment when you want to code but don't have anything to work on... I need more programming friends

ways to mess with Datacenter staff:

make every server flash blue light for identification, turn on amber light, and display "Printer Error: 1D10T"

migrating servers to new hardware in vmware...

project manager: I don't want to log in to do 15 minutes worth of work on Sunday during the scheduled maintenance window. can you stay late on Friday? I'll have someone shutdown the servers at 515.

so you want me to waste my time to save your time?.... fine....

guess who's not working much this morning... :)

"My powershell script had a 30% success rate on all of the servers"

Should I be scared?

@localhost My setup! The laptop is on private WiFi that is unmonitored. There's a desktop tower behind the monitors that is wired into the unmonitored network as a server running Linux. it's decent but could be better. and I need more stickers

Continuous emails from recruiters:

"I saw your profile on LinkedIn and wanted to see if you were interested in a career as an Area Sales Rep for [cell provider]. Here's the benefits!"

degree says IT, past jobs say IT, hobbies say IT, interests say IT. Do they just send that to everyone no matter what the profile says??

so I installed spent an hour trying to figure out why snmpd wouldn't start... it turns out to be a carriage return that the editor wasn't displaying but the program was appending to the end of the PHD filename.....

what are some good sites to connect with other like minded people? reddit isn't very good for one on one or small group chats.

I scheduled an email to my boss to be sent at 7am to tell her that was sick and not coming in tomorrow

Contractors for a major project that has been a complete nightmare are on site today... maybe I'll be working in the server room today so they can't find me :)

DB2. It's state of the art 1970s technology. we should use it everywhere!

"I need this server account to have sumo and ssh access for the install of this software"

but if that software requires sudo, who not run it as your login account? and instead of ssh access, why not sudo over to the service account?

God I hate when people don't understand how Linux works...

don't you love that moment when you are trying to set up a test environment but end up spending 3 days trying to get one little service to work?

I can't seem to find any auto dns that works with minimal configuration to use with vagrant or docker...
