I'm in a reallllly good mood now

I finally passed the bastard, has anyone ever actually used Sun's DHCP daemon as opposed to ISC? Now to schedule my Sun Certified Security Administrator course, and hopefully pass the cert before review time in July.

Ok, I think I have enough evidence to prove that the universe is not predetermined, this has been the strangest 2 weeks of my life, but dammit I'm loving it.

great fark thread Data storage topic because that's what it is, genetic data storage.

Got an IM yesterday from one of my ex-coworkers.

One of the sysadmins that was at bluegrass when I started, got demoted, then eventualy found work elsewhere, died from pancreatic cancer Tuesday. Kerry, while not a perfect sysadmin, was most helpful to me when I was a PFY who shouldn't have been trusted with root anywhere, much less production machines. Our senior was (and still is to some degree) gruff and not particularly helpful regarding knowledge transfer. Kerry bridged that gap for me, filled in pieces as best he could. I hadn't talked to him since I started this new job, I wouldn't have said what I'm saying here but I feel there is something I should have.

Oh well, to all you artists stuck in a sysadmins job, here's a shot of beam and a thank you from this bastard operator.
