Totally lousy day today. Woke up grumpy and didn't manage to find something to eat before my brain crashed.
[Random tangent that some of my anonymous readers may appreciate: every time I make any sort of face while typing, Kelly says "what? Did Ann have a baby?" It's very distracting.]
( Read about my boring dysfunctional day... )
In other news, I've sort of got a new computer. The company I work for makes a product that runs on small Linux boxes. This year's boxes mostly use flash memory and aren't really suitable for general use, but last year we had less opportunity to customize the hardware and wound up using machines that are about the size of a cable box with a 20GB hard drive. Those have been sitting around the office for months now, so they started giving them away. I plugged mine in to one of the Ethernet ports on my wireless access point router box. The router says it has a new DHCP client, but I can't ping it or telnet to it or SSH to it. I'm not quite sure what to do about that. I'll have to bug someone at work on Monday.
I've been doing some more Linux work at the office lately. We took all the Win2K servers we were using for our production environment last summer (we do most of our trial deployments in the summer), which have since been replaced by a big Solaris server, and installed Linux on them. I've been trying to get Weblogic to run in a cluster on two of them. It was almost working, until I tried to restart it. D'oh! Maybe I'll have more luck with it this week. On the bright side, our new staging server hasn't ground to a halt even once since we switched it over to Linux (it was a daily occurrence on Windows).
