I found it this morning
 
@Magellan Turned out to be anyway?
 
@Tanner Yeah. 30 minute interrogation about the details of a carrier-grade DNS deployment and the fine-grained details of the DNS protocol.
 
@pauska nope
must have missed it
looks fun though
 
Clearly belongs to the @ewwhite school of interviews. If it's on the resume', they applicant better be able to recite the RFC.

lol
 
6:01 PM
@pauska no idea how to play but I'm on
 
I just have a spinning radar screen. Maybe next time.
 
mine says waiting for players
 
Mine also says waiting
 
BTW...this article on HN is awesome....makes me want to actually learn to code a little: blog.jenniferdewalt.com/post/62998082815/…
 
@Magellan did they grill you on anycasting? :)
 
6:03 PM
Aw hell, I'm down for a round of Hover...
@TheCleaner Yeah that was really interesting. That's some dedication there.
I want to cry after 5 minutes of fighting with CSS.
 
Man, once the students find out about this next week that's bye-bye to student productivity.
 
@voretaq7 No, but I mentioned it.
 
Well consider my webcoding experience is limited to a tiny bit of Frontpage/Dreamweaver/Flash back in the late 90s/early 2000s...I'm betting I'd give up after 3 days.
 
I have a Player 1 on my radar?
 
same here tom, now player 1
 
6:05 PM
@voretaq7 The problem is that I know how these work from a high-level, I've just never had opportunity to get into situations where this stuff breaks much.
 
start it up @pauska - or something...or tell me how to play
 
You're not in?
 
Nah we're at "waiting for players"
 
uh
let's start a new one, cause someone joined this one
there is no 3 player.. 2, 4, 6 etc
 
stick it on 4 - me, @pauska @TheCleaner and @Tanner
 
6:07 PM

but where is #6
 
6:08 PM
@voretaq7 Another annoying trend I'm finding is that even Support positions now generally require several years of straight-up Dev/SDE experience.

@RyanRies mind being my pair?
 
@tombull89 come on, slowbum
 
On a mailing list that I'm on, there's a spirited discussion over the merits of VOIP deployment on separate networking hardware, vs VLANs and QoS. The argument veered over to the risk of "all-eggs-in-one-basket" and E911 requirements. Someone replied "So I guess none of your users have cell phones they could use in a pinch?"

His signature block:

Senior Account Manager
ePlus Technology, inc
 
did it time out again?
 
I have no idea how to play
 
6:09 PM
says player 1 again...
 
says waiting for players for me
 
same here Ryan
back ok now

hah! Microsoft finally brings multiplayer to Hover, and it doesn't work. :P

@RyanRies no I'll start a new one
 
Third time lucky?

new room?
 
6:19 PM
@pauska yeah
 
@Wesley Got a new plan. Gonna do a little coding, set up some new projects with some advertising on my webhost, and go drive a forklift for my day job.
 
I think Microsoft is having some session problems.. to put it out mildly
 
@Magellan Okay - sounds good.
 
I probably should bail and do some, uh, work.

excellent, now instead of player 1 it says AAA
 
6:19 PM
So I should go buy a bike and become a bike messenger then.

probably my hovercraft needs repairing
 
yeah, work for me aswell now
 
Hovercraft Bluescreened

"This Hovercraft has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down"
 
@Wesley Is that what it will take?
 
am i by myself? I see 1 blue to 2 red
 
6:20 PM
You broke the hovercraft @Tom. YOU HAD ONE JOB @TOM!!
 
@TheCleaner yeah, somehow your game started without three of us.. so I think we're done for now
 
lol I thought I was rocking!
 
Music was kinda catchy
 
@Magellan I think anything that gets you out of fight or flight mode and lets you have at least some time to develop things is good.
 
@superpatosainz Are there too many eels in your hovercraft?

@Wesley Yeah, except dropping back down to Support is pretty much a career-killer. But I'm kind of getting the message that I never really had enough chops to begin with.

@voretaq7 Well, at least when they stop filling up the screen with their efforts to do so.

I'm not playing anymore either

What the heck is Hover?
 
Magellan, look for a real time feed in your Inbox so you can follow along. :)
 
@ChrisS It's what happens when you strap a piece of toast, butter side up, to a cat and then drop it.
 
@ChrisS hover.ie silly game
 
@ChrisS There used to be a crappy hovercraft game that shipped with Windows 9x
It's now a crappy browser game
 
6:27 PM
@TheCleaner And a stake through your forehead. And You. And You. And You.
 
It's about as interesting as the Excel Doom easter egg tbh...but everything is more fun multiplayer with people you "know".
 
For the parents in here:
Resolution:
1. Check the system- event log.
2. Reseat the QPI cables and the QPI wrap cards.
3. Replace the QPI cables.

@tombull89 I've been there man. I can help.
 
@voretaq7 I had that game, came with Win95. It was way better than this piece of sh*t.
The controls on this game are infuriatingly blunt.
 
@ChrisS they were just as bad on the 9x game if you turned on inertia or whatever the checkbox was
 
6:35 PM
I used to play isketch with other IT folks from time to time when I was bored. Interesting to see that it is still running.
 
@voretaq7 I didn't think so.. But maybe. The thing that's killing me right now is that I tap left or right and end up turning 45º each time.
 
Fuck Sandra - this is the one to go for

@Magellan I had a crisis like that early this year. I still don't think I have the chops, but ServerFauilt's main page makes me realize that as long as these people that show up on the site are pulling 80k+ jobs, I can too in spite of being an idiot. =)
 
look at the site for day 2
and then try the site for day 178
 
Anonymous
6:39 PM
@voretaq7 I think that the somewhat hard controls are that way intentionally
 
@Wesley yeah, I'm not sure about that. I'm pretty sure a lot of those people are holding down two positions simply because there's no budget for filling empty ones or the existing admins have been fired/downsized. Definitely rough when places say they're actually looking for Generalists, but when you get into the interview you realize that they actually just want Architect level knowledge of just about everything.
 
Anonymous
especially with momentum
 
@Wesley Especially annoying when they said not 3 minutes before that they don't want expert level knowledge on everything.
 
@Magellan Or people who want 5+ years of experience with some obscure technology that you have no way of learning about other than that particular job.
 
@Magellan I know, it's crazy. A big part of impostor syndrome that I struggle with is reading job descriptions on Careers 2.0. I'm thinking "Who the fuck knows all THAT?!"
 
6:40 PM
@Wesley Google. Google does.
 
@NathanC Yeah, there's a lot of that. And some of that's HR departments, but a lot of it's managers just wanting it all and willing to wait to fill empty slots until the perfect person shows up.
 
@pauska Yeah I read the blog post earlier and have been going through the sites...very cool.
 
@Magellan It's funny, in January I was looking for warehouse jobs here in the area.
I just want to put a pair of walking shoes on and put stock on shelves.
 
@Magellan When I started at this job back in April they didn't really know what they wanted...I guess a low-level support person. But, when I started I was given full domain access on day one. About two months ago I get a promotion to "entry-level network administrator" ...and the job description detailed everything I did since starting.
 
@TheCleaner it's pretty amazing to see how much she improves every day
 
6:43 PM
@NathanC Yeah, and they're willing to do that for entry-level. But there's pretty much no market for mid-level. I'm probably going to have to take a 50% pay cut and start over again if I want to stay in IT.
 
@Magellan (I still type @Adr-- before realizing you're different now) Are you in my G+ circles?
@Magellan Nevermind, yes you are
@Magellan If you feel like following the aftermath of my mellodramatic meltdown earlier this year: plus.google.com/117750833316960040078/posts/31ghdotuun2
 
@Magellan Yeah, I dunno about you, but managing an entire network infrastructure including vmware isn't exactly "entry level", but hey, maybe it is and I'm underestimating the mid-level knowledge requirements
 
@Wesley cats don't melt down, you throw fits
 
@voretaq7 RABIES, CUPCAKE! bite
 
7 rounds of: 10 Push Press, 115 lbs 10 Pull-ups = 21:54. I'm ready to fall asleep.
 
6:46 PM
@Wesley I play with squirrels and raccoons. I'm already rabid.
 
@NathanC yeah, one wouldn't think so. But I'm not certain that I'm not the crazy one anymore.
 
@TheCleaner Heyyy, very nice.
@ewwhite Changed is avatar! He's now @JourneymanGeek!
 
Thanks...it shouldn't have taken that long...I was feeling like crap today for some reason

U.S. Capitol in Washington in lockdown after shots fired http://reut.rs/18UJVyp
 
@superpatosainz Good.
Kill them all.
:P
 
@Wesley I do not know what that word means.
 
win8.1 just popped a metro thingy on my screen with the same alert
the shooting that is
 
@voretaq7 The black SUVs will be with you shortly.
 
@pauska ...because the US capitol being shot at clearly affects you all the way on the other side of the ocean
 
6:56 PM
Question: I see the technet article about upgrading to 2012. I've deployed a a couple dozen 2012 servers but always from scratch. Is the in-place upgrade from 2008 R2 standard to 2012 standard pretty painless for a VM (assuming vsphere supports it)?
 
@Wesley They're already here. They brought beer and nachos.
 
@Wesley Yep. Pretty much where I'm at. At this point I'm pretty much convinced that the stupidest decision I ever made was taking a contract position. 3 months later that one's gone and the next one evaporates after just 10 weeks.
 
@voretaq7 Send them here. I need beer.
 
@Wesley They stay parked outside wherever @voretaq7 goes.

@Magellan Here's my unsolicited advice: Start an LLC so that you can list that as relevant IT work in tandem with your forklift job.

Tesla's stocks plummets a bit too
 
Anyone else been following the NYC motorcycle gang range rover incident? cbsnews.com/8301-505263_162-57605632/… new info apparently...this whole story and video is crazy.
 
@Wesley Yep. Gonna put a decent theme on my motorcycling websites too and will ping you later about how to best do advertising that won't piss off the users.
 
@Magellan kk, I got some experience in them thar waters.
@TheCleaner Yeah, posted it last night. Buncha stunterz had a flashmob style ride planned through social media, pull tricks on highways, intimidate drivers, then when one guy swerves and stops in front of an SUV and gets hit... they swarm and pull the guy out of the SUV and beat him in front of his wife and kids.
And then the goobers upload their helmet cam vids to YouTube.
If brains were nickels they'd have a penny.
 
yeah, saw the reports and vid. Personally it appears that the SUV driver was simply trying to not be intimidated, or was scared for him and his family. There's apparently other vids online of them doing the same thing to other cars. And supposedly their website/FB page/twitter/etc. have been disabled/deleted. Guess their mob mentality went too far.
 
7:05 PM
@TheCleaner Yeah, the sport riders in NYC have a nastier reputation than most too.
 
I'm surprised there wasn't any gun play with the riders/driver incident.
 
@TheCleaner Personally it appears a bunch of motorcyclists were being idiots, and frankly deserve to be run over.
 
@MDMarra I was looking for a way to detect a form of tampering that isn't in the spec but could be accomplished by very few people and only then with a lot of planning. I found it, and implementing it is in the queueueueueueueue.
 
(Of course my sympathy level for stupid moto tricks is well below zero, and falling rapidly every time one makes me have to slam on my brakes or swerve to avoid killing them. These guys are like the pilots who buzz houses and then crash into power lines.)
 
@MDMarra whether or not it is the NSA who is responsible or someone else (eg. the Chinese government) will emerge from metadata regarding that type of test.
 
7:07 PM
@FalconMomot We've missed you sweetness.
 
@voretaq7 agreed. They're actually pretty fortunate that this was NY. Around here everyone is open carry and I would bet the SUV driver, his wife, and possibly the toddler would have unleashed a flurry of rounds from the car when they were surrounded like that.
 
@ScottPack I probably wake up when you go to sleep :P
 
Falcon, I tried to read and understand your blog...but then I decided to eat a Slim Jim and browse youtube.
 
@TheCleaner Not gonna lie: If someone starts harassing me in my car and I have my weapon, I will shoot them.
People around here are fucking insane and I consider that "reasonable fear for my life and the life of my passengers"
 
@TheCleaner the stuff I put there is really only useful for reverse engineers anyway; you probably didn't miss anything.
 
7:10 PM
For that matter at that point my car is just another weapon - I'll run someone over to protect myself and I won't feel a half second of remorse.
 
dance I just got a gigantic raise... muahahaha
 
(I'm a cold, heartless person. But I'm OK with that)
@FalconMomot Beer's on you then, bitch! :-P
 
@FalconMomot I'm old, so probably.
 
20%, muahaha.
 
@FalconMomot It made me realize a guy with a mohawk is a lot smarter than I am.
 
7:12 PM
@TheCleaner lol... go hang out at conferences more. there are quite a few people with mohawks (and without) who make me look mentally disabled.
 
@FalconMomot yeah that'll help. They'd be like "You...you in the back staring at us like a cow looking at a new gate. Are you supposed to even be here? Maybe we can get you a coloring book?"
 
Some of the AccuvantLabs guys nearly have more artificial that natural pigmentation. They tend not to have mohawks, though.
 
@TheCleaner M000000000?
 
@TheCleaner lol.
 
7:14 PM
@Wesley Pretty much tossed a gauntlet down my contract recruiter too. They started out offering me 12 months positions last winter. They're down to offering me 6 week positions uncrating servers and installing them at a customer's DC.
 
...oops.
 
@Magellan yikes. I would throw down too.
 
@FalconMomot Yeah. Stupidest decision I ever made was taking a contract job. Pretty much torched my entire career.
 
@Magellan yeah... fuck that
 
@Magellan they're a great way to get started but I don't think I'd ever go back to it.
that said, my old man has been doing that pretty much since he started working and makes twice what I do.
... then again, he only makes twice what I do.
 
7:17 PM
@Magellan That's awful... even though I'd take that right about now.
I'm awful.
But you all knew that.
@jscott It's NYC - there are no guns there. At least, not in the hands of the good people. That includes the cops. =P
 
uncrating and racking servers is relaxing.
honestly I enjoy doing it...
 
@Magellan ouch...reminds me of when I took a contract job to help a company with Y2K only to find out they only wanted me to walk around writing down serial numbers and collecting info on machines including software installed etc. I quit after 3 days and the recruiter was pissed because apparently I was the 3rd person to quit in less than a month on that gig. Hey...next time tell a guy that the job is crap up front.
 
@Wesley I actually predicted that we'd be seeing this 20 years ago though as the baby boomers retire off. Significant economic contraction and a shrinking workforce as they spend less. Looks like I picked the severely wrong time or at least wrong place to make a jump.
 
@FalconMomot It's a nice diversion
 
@TheCleaner I happily took a job which involved individually replacing the computer of everyone in a company and providing support for them to get used to the new OS. that's what got me out of retail.
 
7:20 PM
I had a recruiter call me at least 3 times for a "state government" job ...
 
@NathanC "Better than Federal"?
 
@voretaq7 right now, I'm sure that holds true.
 
that is, tech support for the old piles of shit the government were using and travelling 80+ miles from the capital whenever they wanted me to
...no thanks
 
Phone screen in 40 minutes for a contract position doing AIX Admin. Figured you'd find that amusing, @voretaq7.
 
good luck man
 
7:22 PM
I'd like to have a side gig of doing stuff like server maintenance and things of that sort to bring in extra money, but anyone can do that.
 
@NathanC including you!
 
Not even attempting freelancer because of all the low-ball offers for everything
$2/hour?! Really..
odesk had similar results
The ones that looked nice the poster didn't even bother responding and the bid closed without a job lol
 
@Magellan try it. you'll like it! :P
 
smitty all the things?
 
@ScottPack Indeed.
 
7:24 PM
Well...okay
 
Before there was Siri, there was smitty
 
@voretaq7 Yeah, exactly. At least Amazon is still talking to me about that Support position. Better than going back to uncrating PCs.
 
I was considering on spending nights/weekends doing holiday stuff for best buy/walmart shudders
By considering I mean last resort...
lol
 
@NathanC Ugh. yeah. Annoying this is, the state unemployment board is throwing people into Associate-level IT programs by the gross. Cranking out tons of people with an Associate degree, no experience, and applying to what few mid-level jobs there are out there.
 
I have a 4-year degree...degrees don't mean much in the IT world. Everyone looks for experience and certs
because well, nothing is better than real world experience
 
7:29 PM
@NathanC I'm not sure I agree with that assessment anymore.
 
Granted, mentioning the degree may get your foot in the door...but eh
Mine's in "IT Management"
whatever broad spectrum that is
 
I'm seeing lots of positions with a BS in CS/IT as a mandatory item and 3-5 years of Dev.
And that's for Support staff, not even Engineers.
 
But basically, I applied at the college I got my degree from and didn't get it because I didn't have enough experience. How's that for irony?
It was for a mid-level IT manager position
Oh well :P
 
@Magellan Is amazon good place t work?
 
@DanilaLadner Not sure I'd say that. The pay is good and the benefits are decent, but don't expect to have a life outside of work.
 
7:32 PM
@DanilaLadner I know you didn't ask me - but from what I hear from those who have worked there, it is a very demanding workplace, with lots of hours, and they do not do things like provide lavish workspaces for their workers.
 
Everyone I've ever known has burnt out within 30 months there.
 
One monitor, on a simple desk, in an open floor plan office, not much space.
That's generalizing, but Amazon does not seem to be a great place to work if you enjoy less than 50 hour weeks, and don't like unreasonable demands. Also internally, the word is that each team does have a lot of autonomy, but what that means is that different components of Amazon are built with different tools and have differing API standards.
So that turns into a massive nightmare if your team needs to interface with, say, five different teams' products. Each one has different wrappers, APIs, nomenclature, etc.
 
@Wesley They've always had a culture of spending nothing on the workplace environment. Conference room tables made out of sawhorses, a door, some rubber feet, and glass plates from Home Depot being one common meme.
 
Jeez...8 GB transaction log file. This server is barely used
O_o
 
@Magellan I admire Jeff B's thriftiness and still driving a 15 year old care as a billionaire, but I think he takes it too far. Then again, he's a billionaire and I'm not so...
 
7:35 PM
@Wesley Yeah, I know people that have had the "Honor" of giving a presentation in front of him. He may possibly be worse than Ballmer in that regard. Probably a lot smarter though.
 
@Magellan That reminds me, I wonder how Paul G is doing now that he moved from HI to Seattle for the Amazon gig.
He was getting paid shit on the big island to do some pretty good work.
Hope he's happier on the mainland
Ack, client email, gotta run
 
laterz
 
@Wesley So the same as Google.
 
@NathanC I tried that in school, but I'm convinced the only people who ever get anything out of it work in places where $2 an hour is an astoundingly high wage.
@DanilaLadner google's offices are beautiful
certainly no desks made of sawhorses and raw plywood
 
Yeah, i ve been there
I meant more on demanding work
 
7:38 PM
though at leviathan we did have a desk that was actually a box fort for a little while
 
@Magellan And back. FFS I've been emailing this one place to simple download and run TeamViewer Quicksupport and email me back both the partner ID and the four digit password code.
 
aah. heh.
 
It's taken six fucking emails to get it right. And it's still not right.
 
fail
 
@MDMarra @pauska @ChrisS Before I google this (since I've been a Windows admin for over 16 years now and have no idea what this is)...anyone here know/used this service before? Just now saw it to be honest and was like "WTH is this?"
 
7:40 PM
"It's running"
I need the partner ID and Passcode
"1111"
I need the Partner ID AND the Passcode"
"Partner ID and Passcode"
--failed to connect--
Is Teamviewer running and are the numbers right?
"Sorry, rebooted the PC. TeamViewer is up again."
WHAT IS THE PARTNER ID AND PASSCODE NOW THAT YOU REBOOTED AND IT CHANGED?!
 
@Wesley And this is why I loathe end-user support
 
@Wesley "you can't arrange by penis"
 
for the love of piss people this is not rocket surgery
 
At least here I can walk down to the person's office and slap help them
 
@NathanC Oh and eLance is the best online freelancer site that I've been able to find as for average dollar amount to earn.
Guru is the bottom of the bottom
 
7:42 PM
@TheCleaner no idea
 
Freelancer is one step above Guru
 
@Wesley I think i tried that one too...didn't have much luck winning bids
 
@TheCleaner never seen it - is it third party?
 
@pauska it's builtin...pretty sure
 
I just don't have the energy to pour into profiles and things all the time lol
 
7:43 PM
@FalconMomot leviathan? The one with office in Brooklyn?
 
@TheCleaner "Emergency Management Services is one element of an out-of-band management solution that you can use to manage servers remotely when the operating system is not running properly. Emergency Management Services is available with or without a video card."
 
@DanilaLadner no, in seattle and calgary.
 
Which...why?

@NathanC "Emergency Management Services is a new feature that is included with the Microsoft® Windows Server 2003 family. You can use this feature to perform remote-management and system recovery tasks when the server is unavailable through the network or other standard remote-administration tools and mechanisms. "

It's freaking voodoo...you can access it remotely without a network? (I know they mean the oob network still has to be up...but that's not how they word it)
