This is totally 100% your fault

@MarkHenderson Not chat, "live SA support." What I told my boss.

@HopelessN00b Hah yeah I sort of made the same excuse

@HopelessN00b I told no one, anything

THEY CAN ALL SUCK IT

@MarkHenderson By whom?

@WesleyDavid My boss

@MarkHenderson And how does he know about this?

Is anyone a super bad-ass at J2EE servers

@WesleyDavid He wasn't spying or anything, it just happens that he was on a phone call pacing around the office and saw me flicking back and forth

@MarkHenderson This is exactly why we need an IRC chat plugin. IRC looks command-line-y enough that no one would know the difference. Lazy stackexchange developers.

@MarkHenderson There is only one solution: Carbomb.

No one has said anything to me yet

I don't think my boss would care, tbh.

@WesleyDavid Nah, he wasn't upset, he just wanted to make sure I wasn't billing custoemrs for time spent in here

@MarkHenderson Car. Bomb.

He told me today in two weeks, I've shown him more than the guys on the team have in 10 years

@WesleyDavid Don't jump to carbomb right away. You gotta see if he's willing to settle the matter over a little sex. If not, then carbomb.

@Cole Wow, awesome

@MarkHenderson AWESOMELY SAD

I've written like......3 scripts

In two weeks.

That means you have room to grow in the company

It means that you can get promoted easy

And it means you can make everyone else hate you for being awesome

@Cole Kinda how I feel whenever I get a compliment around here. I want to say "thanks, I really spend about 90% of my time screwing off on the internet, but I'm glad you appreciate the 10% of the time I actually do my job..."

@MarkHenderson yeah my manager said "i will do anything to make you happy. I see you having a long, and fulfilling career here"

@MarkHenderson I like that one. And if everyone else is more awesome than me: carbomb.

If you decide to stay, I'd make my goal "firing everyone else on the team and replacing them with small shell scripts"

@MarkHenderson seriously, I could probably script 80% of the shit people do.

@MarkHenderson someone needs to come up with a good style-sheet or userscript that changes chat to have a fixed width font, and look like IRC.

They really don't need 5 sys admins

@Cole Sounds like it's up to you to write 4 PowerShell scripts, then. :)

lulz

I just walked directly into the door frame of my living room

Ugh

I didn't need that shoulder.

Shin: A body part designed for finding furniture in the dark

@Cole hey

Hello.

@Cole what was that command for linux ip route to see the MTU

ip link?

ip addr

wasnt it ip route show address?

do you want to know the mtu associated with an interface, or the mtu negotiated between two systems?

both

for the interface settings both of the above work

in the eth configuration it does have the MTU="9000" setting but I want to make sure its actually using it

@NickM. btw, me points at the room search -> search for ip mtu

Damnit @Zoredache beat me by a second or two

dammit

I have no idea why its not taking the MTU setting!

@MarkHenderson @Zoredache thank you I was IMing @WesleyDavid and not paying attention

@MarkHenderson Shin? Damn. That's what I've using my big toe for all these years.

1) Who @-ed me and what did you want?

@voretaq7 I just wanted to tell you I love you

2) @Cole You know they do this thing now where they combine genetic material from 2 eggs -- only been done in animals, but we're just mammals.

Just kidding, I don't know who @'ed you.

@voretaq7 FUCK, I need that

@voretaq7 If you have been away long enough doesn't the notification with a link to the message show up in your inbox?

(Yes.)

But, I doubt that happens if one actually has chat open, even inactively.

FAPFAPFAPFAPFAPFAP

@WesleyDavid Really, someone should flag that.

@WesleyDavid You know, to get @voretaq7's attention.

@MilesErickson Someone should flag your face.

Bastards.

hmmm

valid?

not sure!

I clicked same.

^ Communists.

@WesleyDavid There ya go.

@Zoredache yes but that requires me looking at the SF window when I'm reading the mod briefing I missed :P

@goatmale vLAN because that's how the old documentation I learned from printed it

Isn;t that technically a SU question?

I actually switch back and forth between them

@Cole probably though IDK if they do TV hookup crap. Ask in Root Access & send it if it's decent, shoot it in the head if not

@voretaq7 Provided the TVs have the right inputs, sure. I've got my big plasma TV attached to my boxen with an HDMI cable.

@voretaq7 Uh too late

The answer, btw, is "no" cos last I checked SLI/Crossfire only works on a single monitor

Frankly, kinda pissed that the card has 2xDVI, 1xHDMI and 1xDisplayport. Just HDMI all the things already, gawddammit.

@HopelessN00b Displayport == cheaper than HDMI

@MarkHenderson That was a while ago, though, right? That hasn't been the case for years, AFAIK.

HDMI = Licensing costs per port

@HopelessN00b Well I did say "last i checked" which was years ago :p

@MarkHenderson Well, DVI all the things. Sick of this competing standards bullshit, especially when they're all competing with each other, on the same damned component.

@HopelessN00b Couldn't agree more

DVI is huge though. It doesn't need to be huge

How many of them are in use? 2x HDMI - One for the HTPC, one for the Apple TV

@MarkHenderson Yeah, there is that. Wish they could wireless all the things, but honestly, the huge doesn't bother me so much on a desktop. And big monitors/TVs. Once they hook up, I don't wanna move 'em anyway.

@HopelessN00b I'm a neat freak and run individual in-wall patch leads from where my HTPC sits to where my TV is so there's not a single visible cable anywhere near the TV. HDMI == easy, DVI == no thanks

so, in IIS, I have index.html set as one of the default document types. If I type mysite then I get a 403 error. If I type mysite/index.html it loads

what in the fucking fuck

@pauska Time for failed request tracing!

WHERE

(p.s. -1 for not using example.com)

IIS has like a bajillion different places it logs

@MarkHenderson Yeah, I do that too. Big ass drill bit, but I need one for power anyway, so I don't mind so much.

@Cole If your co-workers are territorial and won't let you do anything, work with the boss instead. Sounds like you're going to work yourself into six figures before you know it.

@MilesErickson he's never around :(

@MarkHenderson uh.. that one doesn't exist here

I use these fuckers in a standard keystone jack: jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=PS0771

@Mark Cute.

@pauska Add-WindowsFeature Web-Http-Tracing

fucking

handler mappings

every single script/execute feature was disabled

My old boss was telling me about the two guys that I hate that work there. Said they couldnt get automounter to work - for some fucking reason the NFS client wasnt installed - they had been fucking with it for HOURS. My boss was like "I don't know why they didn;t just ask for help. Afraid to look totally idiotic in front of me maybe? I have news for you, I already think you're both idiots."

I do wonder if they want me to stay so bad at work, so that they CAN decrease their headcount.

They said in my interview, and even after - they were really looking for someone who could do project management and be a "lead" person.

@Cole No shit. Only ever takes me a few minutes to come up with a reason why something's technically not feasible.

I'd rather someone ask me, than dick with shit for hours

then have to ask me anyways.

Yeah, no one likes the hours-long shit-dick.

@HopelessN00b why the hell am I reviewing your wiki edits?

you have more rep than me...

@pauska Because wiki edits require 20k rep.

Dunno why lower reps can review 'em, I've had a few in my review queue too. I blame developers, though.

@HopelessN00b because N low-rep users = an accept probably

no idea what N is

@voretaq7 Yeah, I'm just not sure if that's an intentional feature, or something the devs overlooked. (N == 2).

@HopelessN00b Probably intentional

otherwise sites with very few 20K users and low-activity mods would never get tag wikis

So, I've been asking my ex for my hoodie for like a week now. She just tweeted that no one wanted to go out drinking with her. She told me she hasn't had time to return it. BITCH I LIVE 300FT DOWN THE ROAD AND YOU HAVE NOTHING TO DO TONIGHT.

(and don't use yours as an example - I just pushed them through)

No idea why she won't just fucking drop it off.

@Cole COS SHES A BITCH
