The Comms Room

Matt Bear

19:00

@AaronCopley like... blowjobs from chubby interns?

Aaron Copley

@MattBear You got to have goals.

Matt Bear

or would you be the chubby intern...

Wesley

@MattBear You have a thing don't you.

Matt Bear

@Wesley of course... im a guy

Aaron Copley

@MattBear >< !!! .....I am offended. I am way past interning in my career. (But I won't deny the other bit.)

MIfe

19:02

Damn, this week it feels like questions are just designed for me to answer.

Wesley

@MattBear A man of experience.

Matt Bear

@Wesley I am

bearsgloryhole.com

Wesley

I'd like to know at what point enough snot comes out of my face that I'm dehydrated into not have any more snot to eject out of my face.

Matt Bear

dont click that link...

Wesley

Because I really need that tipping point to happen soon.

Aaron Copley

19:04

@MattBear Ugh. That is one sentence I would really, really like removed from the transcript.

Seeing as how that's my name. :)

Wesley

@MattBear nxdomain cocktease.

Matt Bear

@AaronCopley star that shit everyone!

Wesley

Awww, you hit the arrow to reply to him, not a manual @ so it doesn't include the name in the star. =(

Matt Bear

@Wesley fixed

Wesley

@MattBear You are so mean.

GnomeSlice

19:07

Haha, that flag.

Aaron Copley

I would love to play along, but c'mon. Last thing I need is that getting indexed.

Chris S

Ok - Don't flag as Spam, he'll get a 30 minute ban for that. Just flag for Mod and explain your complaint.

GnomeSlice

@ChrisS That's the goal of spam/offensive flags. the 30 minute ban, that is.

TheCleaner

ban him!

Aaron Copley

I was offended, though!

TheCleaner

19:08

:)

Chris S

nevermind - he got banned, 60 minutes

Aaron Copley

LOL

GnomeSlice

I don't think anyone was really offended by that.

Wesley

@GnomeSlice Yeah but this wasn't offensive or spam, it's just @AaronCopley being a ~~pussy~~ DON'T FLAGBAN ME!!

=P

Poor @MattBear - we hardly knew him.

Aaron Copley

Yea, sorry about the auto-ban. I just hit the first flag in the list. I didn't realize there was a difference.

TheCleaner

19:09

Solution...no real name used in chat rooms or as username

Aaron Copley

I'm new here. :x

Wesley

@AaronCopley Okay okay I'm sorry for calling you a pussy. But I'm a cat... soo....

GnomeSlice

Spam/Offensive flags are fine, if you think something is offensive.

Aaron Copley

@TheCleaner That would be ideal. Can I change how I log into chat without changing my SF profile?

Wesley

Also, cat's have no shame.

Chris S

19:10

@AaronCopley No harm - Mods can unban...

Aaron Copley

@GnomeSlice Had that made it to index, and it came up in an interview or something, I would have been offended. :)

GnomeSlice

Usually those flags don't get approved though, unless they contain cursing or dirty words.

Or my username.

Chris S

@GnomeSlice If 2-3 people flag a post it's automatically accepted.

GnomeSlice

@ChrisS I'm not sure about that, I've seen single messages get flagged 5 or 6 times

Chris S

Also, there's more than a few "sensitive" people in the other chat rooms.

TheCleaner

19:12

@AaronCopley can't that I know of. I simply don't use my real name period if I can avoid it. But then again, if an interviewer did go "hey I saw on google that you were called ...." I'd probably just go "huh? I think you probably have the wrong guy there"...

Magellan

Are we causing problems again?

MIfe

I dont normally either.

GnomeSlice

I changed my name to my real name a while back in an effort to rehabilitate my SE image. I failed.

Matt Bear

I actually apologize for offending

MIfe

Kinda screwed up there though. Least its not my FULL name.

Although its such a unique last name theres not many people that share it.

Wesley

19:13

@TheCleaner If an interviewer brought up something like that to me, I'd walk out because I'm not going to work for a place that goes that deep into 1984 Big Brother BS.

Aaron Copley

@TheCleaner Yea, the odds of it coming up... Yea, I know. But, given that I am actively looking right now. And I have had offers as a result of SF/SO community participation... Someone is reading.

TheCleaner

@Wesley true...course it'd be cool to grab my phone and go Tony Stark on the interviewer and throw their web history up on the front lobby digital signage screens.

Magellan

@cole How close are you to Somerville, MA?

Wesley

@TheCleaner That would be awesome.

Nathan C

Well that's weird.

TheCleaner

19:14

@AaronCopley no love for Northrup anymore?>

Aaron Copley

@TheCleaner midget pr0n? Sir, maybe I don't need to work here...

Nathan C

If I have my SQL server on node 1 (failover cluster) everything works fine. If I have it on node 2, things time out or don't work at all...

Both servers are virtualized with the same specs (different hosts), so idgi

Aaron Copley

@TheCleaner Never heard of North**rup**.

voretaq7

wait I step away for a few minutes and we're banning people?

TheCleaner

you were concerned about Matt's comment and said midget pr0n? lol

voretaq7

19:15

I'm offended - I like getting to ban people and someone else beat me to it!

TheCleaner

@AaronCopley I didn't want the spelling to be correct to avoid getting flagged. :)

Magellan

@voretaq7 They're misbehaving again.

Matt Bear

@TheCleaner lol

Aaron Copley

@TheCleaner I didn't insinuate that anyone in the room watches it. That's the difference, IMO. Not really a big deal, like I said. I just didn't want it indexed. No one is salty...

Matt Bear

on a completely unrelated note... my daughter is getting so cute its not fair

Magellan

19:16

@voretaq7 I'm behaving. Probably because I'm sober.

Matt Bear

wife called a few minutes ago, kid started going "DA DA DA DA DA DA DA" as soon as she heard my voice on the phone

Aaron Copley

@TheCleaner Haha... I see people with it wrong in the signature blocks. -_-

voretaq7

@Magellan Again or still?

Magellan

@voretaq7 Yeah. Probably Still.

voretaq7

@Magellan "You need to take either more of it or less of it"

TheCleaner

19:18

@MattBear that's one odd teen you've got.

voretaq7

►

^^ ?

Matt Bear

@TheCleaner shes a year lol

GnomeSlice

►

Nathan C

IIS...why are you so frustrating -_-

voretaq7

@NathanC It's helping you.

TheCleaner

19:19

@MattBear congrats man. It's always fun at that age...everything is a new experience and the little things make you all excited as a parent.

Aaron Copley

@MattBear I have a 7-month old. It's been a Hell of a year... Congrats for making it through the first year.

Nathan C

@voretaq7 It's ignoring the redirect settings I gave it :/

mfinni

@Magellan He's in metro west, so not too close (unless he's visiting the lady.) I now know a lot of things about people i haven't met.

Matt Bear

@AaronCopley the easy parts over.... once they get mobile, it gets crazy

GnomeSlice

Why is every room I go to so much more relaxed than the Gaming one

Aaron Copley

19:21

@MattBear Any day now. He's scooting around while sitting up, but not taking well to trying to crawl yet.

voretaq7

@NathanC You didn't really want to 301 those nice people!

Magellan

@mfinni Ah. There was a shop over there that I was hoping he was close to. =)

voretaq7

@AaronCopley Put the bottle on the other side of the room. He'll figure it out.

mfinni

@Magellan I'm in Boston, whatcha looking for?

Nathan C

@voretaq7 Just redirecting from the root to a folder since that's where the application lives

and it just shows the IIS page anyway >_>

Matt Bear

19:22

@AaronCopley my daughter scooted till 10-11 months, then within like 2 weeks, she was full on crawling and standing up on her own

voretaq7

@NathanC IIS NEEDS ADVERTISING!

Wesley

@MattBear Don't you have #2 on the way?

Nathan C

apparently

Aaron Copley

@voretaq7 Trying that with toys. Maybe I should try it with the food.

mfinni

@Magellan thebostonshaker.com ?

Matt Bear

19:22

@Wesley yup, April 19 is due date I think

Nathan C

Also, I've found that this particular software I have sucks with licensing...

voretaq7

@Wesley ! The rest of us don't discuss our litterbox habits as freely as you do!

Nathan C

:(

voretaq7

@MattBear "i think"?

Wesley

@MattBear Wow, gonna have a full house of bearlets.

@voretaq7 POOOOOOOOOOP

@voretaq7 I'm sick. Don't make me sneeze on you.

voretaq7

19:23

@Wesley I was sick yesterday. It's probably your fault STUPID CAT!

Wesley

@voretaq7 I woke up sick yesterday. =(

Magellan

@mfinni Heh. There's a boutique men's clothing shop over there that I've been reading about.

mfinni

@Magellan really .... do tell.

Wesley

The amount of snot running from my face should be investigated by Mulder and Scully because this is downright paranormal.

Aaron Copley

@voretaq7 @Wesley, are you a burier or surface pooper? My cat leaves it proudly on top of the litter. Stinks up the whole upstairs.

Magellan

19:25

Wesley

@AaronCopley Mine does too. Doesn't help that he apparently eats the corpses of a thousand dread wolves, because the wreak is enough to perform an exorcism at thirty paces.

Magellan

I've become a bit of a collector of vintage stuff. Lady's habits and hobbies are somewhat contagious it seems.

mfinni

@Magellan hmmmmmm.. no kidding.

@Wesley ew. EW

Aaron Copley

LOL @ "I frew up." .. Oh, man. That's priceless.

Magellan

@AaronCopley He probably ties it in a bow and leaves it on his owner's pillow.

mfinni

19:28

@Magellan You should also be aware of this, should you make it out to the Blighted East : wgbhnews.org/post/…

Magellan

As for my cat, I'm worried that John Kerry's going to want to bomb my house. My cat's gaseous emissions are a weapon of mass destruction.

mfinni

@Magellan And it's above the Burren. No shit. I'ma stop by sometime soon. I was just in Davis Square all last weekend for HONK!

Magellan

@mfinni Cool. I think the new job has an office over there, but I probably wouldn't be heading that way. I'll likely end up flying to APAC for work first.

mfinni

@Magellan Oh cool - i must have missed the new of your new employment. Congrats!

Magellan

@mfinni Thanks. Start Monday and very excited.

RobM

19:33

cat farts are the one thing worse than dog farts

Matt Bear

@Wesley ewww

export site collection, create content database, import site collection to new content database with new url...

fun times

ewwhite

Is anyone here familiar with debugging tomcat?

MIfe

@ewwhite I use johnsons flea treatment.

ewwhite

:(

Matt Bear

@ewwhite I have some very limited experience with it, I have a couple servers running it

mfinni

19:41

@ewwhite Not very much at all. I've got some experience with dicking around with Spring, which is on top of tomcat.

MIfe

Behold the power of my puns.

ewwhite

Something seems off...

Joel E Salas

@cole Where are you going

mfinni

@ewwhite could it simply be more traffic or more intensive traffic?

@ewwhite Can you graph number of sessions against that?

Joel E Salas

@ewwhite You need to eat less pizza, look at how much CPU time you're spending on it

TheCleaner

19:43

@JoelESalas nah...he's running the Mike Piazza fan site.

GnomeSlice

Re: Poop

Joel E Salas

@GnomeSlice I've seen this posted like 400 times

GnomeSlice

@JoelESalas Hahahahaha

ewwhite

@mfinni It's not my app... I can see that session numbers have increased...

Matt Bear

@GnomeSlice wtf is that?

mfinni

19:45

@ewwhite That's the thing. It's like having a custom ASP.net site having problems and trying to fix it from IIS. That's doin' it wrong, gotta work with what the developers have given for instrumentation

GnomeSlice

Fake image from Beyond: Two Souls

mfinni

Which hopefully is more than tweaking log4j settings

ewwhite

@mfinni and they're coming to me... "we can't tell what's happening!!!"

mfinni

@ewwhite shoot them. double-tap

Matt Bear

@ewwhite did anything change in the application itself?

new code published?

ewwhite

19:47

@MattBear They "don't know"

Matt Bear

@ewwhite how can they not know?

ewwhite

@MattBear because produce.

Matt Bear

@ewwhite can you get into the server and look at file modification/creation times?

ewwhite

@MattBear yeah... but it's all this magic black box of tomcat

I just had a windows guy at another site go and change the "name" of a Linux ethX interface to something he liked better.

cole

@Magellan About 45 minutes

ewwhite

19:52

So I'm VPN'ed, Citrix'ed, ILO'ed, and on a console trying to repair it. He did a default CentOS install, so NetworkManager is in there pissing on it, too.

cole

@JoelESalas FM Global

ewwhite

@JoelESalas knows about that.

@cole not MF Global?

Joel E Salas

@cole I don't know what that is

@ewwhite Do you need tomcat assistance

ewwhite

@JoelESalas I do.

cole

@JoelESalas fmglobal.com

Magellan

19:54

@cole Ah, that is a bit of a drive.

cole

@ewwhite nope fmglobal

@Magellan por que?

It's about 10 minutes from my girlfriend's

Also have friends who live in Somerville.

Magellan

@cole I follow that guy's blogs. Between that blog and and Lady's hobbies, I've turned into a vintage clothing collector.

cole

@Magellan ah I know where that is.

Today, I'm a DBA.

Magellan

@cole put it on the resume'! =D

Nathan C

@ewwhite Sounds like a grand ol' time.

Joel E Salas

19:56

@ewwhite What's it doing?

MikeyB

@ewwhite chortle

I freely admit, any Windows box I install has its interfaces quickly renamed to ethX, bondX, wlanX.

cole

@Magellan I wouldn't want to :P

Basil

The only storage questions I ever see on the site are like this:

0

Q: How to implement NAS

I make a research about NAS (Network Attachment Storage) and still stuck on a few things. The idea is, I want every personnel to have their own local "storage account", every person will be allocated to 50GB of storage space and they only can access the storage through our LAN. The client is Win...

cole

HOW DO I NAS

voretaq7

@cole NA ALL THE S?

Wesley

20:00

@MikeyB YOU ANIMAL!

ewwhite

@JoelESalas it's eating up all the CPU!

cole

@voretaq7 N ALL THE AS's?

Q: SAN newbie: What kind of fiber cables do I need to connect to the front end ports on my EMC CX300

I have an old CX300 I'm messing with and I cant determine what kind of HBA\fiber cables I need to connect a server to the front end ports on the DPE2. The hardware reference doesn't give me any details and being new to FC-SAN all of the options are pretty overwhelming. I don't know if the ports ...

san fibre-channel cables hba

cole

HOW DO THESE PEOPLE HAVE JOBS

Magellan

@cole Because DevOps.

cole

20:02

DevOops

I have a total of 5 1/2 hours left at this job. Fuck yeah.

Falcon Momot

yay!

cole

Well, more than that. I'm 1st on call.

so like ~20 hours

Magellan

@cole It's kind of funny, really. My previous title was DevOps Engineer. I got quite few interviewers that were concerned about whether I knew anything about Linux and whether I enjoyed working on systems of just writing config mgmt. code and leaving the fixing of broken things to others.

Wesley

@cole DevPoops

Joel E Salas

@ewwhite Can it reach the DB? is it out of disk space

@Magellan We have one of those guys

ewwhite

20:04

@JoelESalas there's no DB... just produce

Joel E Salas

@ewwhite LaaS => Lettuce-as-a-Service

Magellan

@JoelESalas yeah, I know a few of them too. Quite a few Dev Directors that booted out their entire IT support staff and took the admin & support functions in-house to the Dev team.

Basil

@mfinni thanks! I didn't get that in my filter because there was no storage tag

Magellan

@Wesley Guess who I just got a LinkedIn invite from?

Joel E Salas

@Magellan who who!

Wesley

20:05

@Magellan Hmmm...

@Magellan Your mom?

I dunno.

Magellan

@Wesley No, that was last week and it was my mother-in-law.

cole

@Magellan lol! were they surprised when you did actually know wtf you were talking about?

Magellan

@Wesley Annoying recruiter chick with the bad spelling.

Wesley

@Magellan J.V.?

Magellan

@Wesley yeah.

Wesley

20:07

@Magellan Huh, she's been back at it. She emailed me all bubbly asking about a contract downtown, and I responded in the negatory and asked her how things were, and she never responded.

I'm increasingly flustered with her.

She's not cute enough for me to put up with this shit. And she'a married anyway. =P

Joel E Salas

@Wesley Yeah dude, if you take the job she'll S your D

Magellan

@cole Pleasantly surprised. The past year has goofed me up in some respects though. I've spent enough time not working that I'm rusty on some of the things I used to know cold.

Joel E Salas

that's how recruiters work right?

Wesley

@JoelESalas So you know her then? =P

cole

@Magellan doh.

Joel E Salas

20:08

I just think it's funny that approximately 100% of tech recruiters are either a) way too attractive chicks or b) guys with spiky hair

cole

I get like that with stuff. Since I'm always so all over the place with tech. I tend to forget stuff I should know like the back of my hand.

My brain has too much stuff in it

Magellan

@cole Yeah, I'm looking forward to sticking with one place for a few years. Let some of that stock vest

cole

@Magellan I'll be nice to just focus on a handful of technologies at $newjob

Magellan

Speaking of that. Any of you guys ever done work with LXC?

MikeyB

@Magellan Piddled about with docker a bit. Nothing serious.

MIfe

20:12

Not LXC directly but have an interest in all the unshare work and namespacing it works in.

Magellan

@MikeyB yeah, new place uses containers instead of full virtualization

MIfe

Something about it in particular you want to know?

mfinni

@JoelESalas It's a sales job, at the lower tiers. totally stands to reason.

ewwhite

@Magellan ya

Magellan

@MIfe Not really. Just curious if anyone else in the room is using it. Makes me nervous when I'm the only one using a technology, and I haven't heard much about it compared to full virtualization

MIfe

20:15

I think its not quite there yet but its starting to look promising.

Magellan

@MIfe that'll be interesting. I've got quite a bunch of them to assist in maintaining.

ewwhite

@Magellan I use LXC heavily for my produce clients

for their tomcat e-commerce servers.

MIfe

When the user namespaces is properly working, and there is better support for standard 'proc' entries translating in it properly, then itll be better. Currently there is a FUSE bind mount hack to provide similar /proc/meminfo formatting in the containers.

ewwhite

MIfe

I use namespacing + selinux + cgroups myself to run specific services in. But not full-blown O/S instances.

ewwhite

20:17

(I feel like a Linux geek at the moment)

freiheit

@ewwhite The chrome on those windows is all wrong, though.

ewwhite

:(

@freiheit I'm a fan of Eterm

cole

I'm a fan of iTerm2

MikeyB

@ewwhite Oohhh iptraf. Hey, have you resized the iptraf window while it's running?

ewwhite

@MikeyB I just did

MikeyB

20:26

@ewwhite Sweet, I wrote that code.

ewwhite

@MikeyB hmmm

Do it again!!!

Michael Hampton

That hurts my eyes.

Matt Bear

uggh... working on building my credit up in order to build a house, it goes so slow!

Wesley

I actually had a pleasant experience with a lawyer today. Look to the Eastern sky!

Had to show him how to use one of the firm's own websites. He was actually 1) Pleasant, and 2) Picked up on things really fast.

Matt Bear

@Wesley and a lawyer?

marry him!

freiheit

20:33

@Wesley Must be a junior partner

Wesley

@freiheit Yeah his name wasn't part of the firm's full name. =P

freiheit

@Wesley He'll never get his name on the masthead without being more of an asshole. ;)

ewwhite

By the way... I love weirdo news headlines.

Shoplifters Reportedly Arrested And Found With Dead Fetus At Herald Square Victoria's Secret

Wesley

@freiheit Better get billable time done while he's still not an asshole.

Symantec you SUUUCKKKKK

Matt Bear

@ewwhite "OH MY GOD Becky, look what just fell out of me!" "Well put it in a bag and lets carry it around with us while we go steal some panties!"

ewwhite

20:38

Why would you go on a shoplifting spree with a dead fetus in a bag?

Wesley

@ewwhite Would I or have I?

Magellan

@ewwhite One of them was sent to Bellevue for evaluation. No! You don't say!

Crazy People.

Matt Bear

@Wesley I dont want to know what you carry around in a bag with you...

POOOOOOOOOOP

Wesley

Imagine the element of surprise. Running out the doors of BestBuy with a Macbook Air, the security guards go to tackle you, suddenly dead baby to the face!

Oh, wait, that was a Victoria's Secret. Okay, now that's a weird place to bring a corpse.

3

On a weekday, anyway.

Matt Bear

@Wesley hmm... she sounds like a perfect woman, crazy, kinky, wears sexy underwares, DTF, not grossed out by dead shit in a bag, and doesnt want kids!

MIfe

20:44

Well, theres not wanting kids and then theres not wanting kids.

Matt Bear

whats worse then a dead baby in a bag....

TheCleaner

what's the point of putting the CVC code on the back of credit cards instead of the front? Seems pretty pointless and doesn't improve anything...and just makes me have to turn the thing over.

Matt Bear

oh wait, is @AaronCopley here?

:p

A dead baby in 2 bags!

MIfe

A bag in a dead baby?

Wesley

@MIfe That was a lot more awful than I intended... I'll just see myself out... =P

TheCleaner

20:46

All this dead baby talk reminds of this:

Matt Bear

@Wesley too far

Wesley

Because thats a secret right there.

Whoa there caps lock

Settle down.

Matt Bear

@MIfe Whats in the bag Miss?

"Oh its a Secret"

now what would be worse, is if she was caught at the door of a day care...

was she trying to bring it in, or take it out?

MDMarra

Sup nerds?

of course thats sexism too....

cause if it was a guy caught like that, straight to jail!
