9:25 - We has IWS monitoring this morning!� WOOT!� Thyme LM 215 is now Thyme LM 87.�� CPU is idle but memory is already showing loaded:

Mem:�� 3116240k total,� 3102500k used,��� 13740k free

Talked with Gunslinger about it and he thinks the JVM garbage collection hasn't ran.� Test officially starts at 9:30.� I'll run SAR & monitor iostats.

9:55 - Call from Duke, Margie, and Baby Huey re tkt 464174 to add 250GB luns to giant/itan/pine on Thursday.� Duke says DMX 3 cutover is scheduled for Fri, so they want to go ahead of me and cut over to DMX3.� Then have Margie assign these luns and let me do my work.� The DBs will be down anyway.� Sounds fair to me, I'll talk with Gunslinger and get him to move the ticket and fix the language because it's all fucko.

10:05 - Talking with Mr. T. regarding the DMX cutover and the delays its thrown into our work.� I guess he talked to the trio either just before, or just after me.� He's asking questions about why this disk wasn't added a month ago and I confirmed for him that the delay is because of the trio and the cutover cluster-fuck.� He's off to a meating but will get back to me after lunch.

- Make sure we discuss the IWS perf tests and the huge blocks of time it's taking.� I have users screaming about access problems, need to re-write and re-engineer a content promotion system because the lack of root access is cramping people's styles.

- I have to get the NFS work done, and I need time to go through and remediate and actually ENGINEER some solutions instead of running around putting out fires and band-aiding this fucked up portal.

10:10 - the IWS tests still havent' started.� They block large chunks of my time, then start late.� bastages!

0- I have 3:30 appt today with Sofya

0- I have 11:30 apt with Dr. Gary on Wednesday

10:40 - IWS tests cancelled

11:00 - Deployed VM Marriott on seer.� Req. IP from Grandpa Simpson.

11:10 - lunch - salad & filled up the tank in the Roo.

12:45 - customizing Marriott.

    CORALINE's Interests:

    About Me: Little Plastic Castle is an extension of This Child's Life which is not hosted at inboxjournal. This blog will make little sense to anyone other than myself. It's a stream of consciousness log of what I do on a daily basis in my job as a UNIX computer systems engineer. o/~ "They say goldfish have no memory, I guess their lives are much like mine...so the little plastic castle is a surprise every time, and its hard to say if they're happy, but they don't seem much to mind." o/~ I endeavor to respect confidentiality and thus I use nicknames for the people I work with. (Mr. T, Ratface, Jerry, Cartman, Grandpa Simpson, Slick, and so on.) I drop system names in here and abbreviations, but any note that requires something like a FQDN will always be marked private. You can comment if you like, but I'll only respond if I feel like it.

    Interests: Cast of Characters: Just a few of the names I use for people, this is the nickname and what their job responsibility is. Mr. T - My Direct Manager (Engineering) Slick - ESX Specialist Cartman - Network Engineering Lead Grandpa Simpson - Network Engineer Becky - WebSphere Engineer Ratface - Developer/Architect Jerry - Project Manager (BTI) Matt T. - Project Manager (Blackbird) The Martian - Application Developer AVP Ice Queen - Engineering AVP Chez - Assistant to Ice Queen Watts - Engineering/Development Sr. Mgr.
