weird.� I dunno what happened to the entry I was making.

- I have a schedule lock today for PFF from 9am to 3pm.� I'm only on "standby" for the code migration as the regular support folks are going to work with SS and learn how it's done.� I have to be ready for problems but I'm confident it'll go smoothly.

- This gives me time to work on other projects.

0- A bunch of CritSit notices went out for the Windows systems.

12:10 - Squirrelface wants to know why his auditing program can't log into Pan as root.� I'm just _floored_ by this.� He's an idiot.� This man is our Risk Management specialist.� He's the shop "security guy".� He's been involved in my project to shut off root for the last 9 months.� WTF is he thinking?

- He asked me how to set someone up in the group 0.� !!!

- This is what I have to deal with.� THIS.� Sometimes it makes me want to put a gun in my mouth and paint the walls with my brain.�

1:00 - Pam/LDAP meeting starts 10 minutes late.� I'm already pissed because of Squirrelface, and now everyone is late to the meeting.

1:10 - Fuck this.� They can call me.� I'm hanging up.

1:16 - Bastards.� Meeting start.

- If the people who audit our systems are going to ding us for allowing direct root login, then they shouldn't send us an auditing tool that can't run unless it's allowed to have direct root login.� I tell them to go fuck themselves and come back to me when they think their cunning plan all the way through.

2:30 - more ICD changes need to be done to Pan.� I realize my entire rant there makes me seem angry today, but I'm not.� I was just annoyed by that situation.� :)

    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.
