@kdfrawg A bit of one coupled with a very heavy accent.
@kdfrawg The only trying part of the day was talking a French-Canadian through mounting a logical volume in single-user mode and running fsck on it.
# vgscan —mknode
# vgchange -ay
# fsck.ext3 -y /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00.
Relaying that was a lot harder than it looks.
Edit: Having them read the output of the second command off so I knew what to have them type in the third one is the bugger.
Typical Monday in the books.
Only difference in the evening will be Sidekick shaking her head and calling me a dork as I set up TrackIR in Elite Dangerous.
@matigo About as happy as I could be staring at code I never thought I'd have to look at again.
Reading source code comments I wrote 16 years ago.
Conclusion: I was not a "happy camper" 16 years ago.
Having one of those, "I should have skipped college and joined the steamfitters like grandad wanted me to do" moments.
Unexpected port of server based code written in 2002 to RHEL7 now building.
On the Windows box, I am traveling 65,000 light years from the sun to "Beagle Point" in Elite Dangerous. A journey I suspect will take me a month or two to make as I am detail scanning every planetary body and star of every ~32 light year jump of the journey. I'm approximately 23000 light years from the black hole at the center of the galaxy. That's the easy leg of the journey. outer spiral arm where Beagle Point resides is sparsely populated by stars and I may not be able to find a path there in my current, ill-equipped ship. Time will tell, I guess.
On the Mac, I am catching up on email (and typing this update)
On my desk, there's a tumbler of whiskey.
And that pretty much describes my early Saturday morning.
Trying to cut back on calories is impossible here.
I've had someone come into my office, trying to push pizza on me, every five minutes since 10:00am.
