God, I would love to have that Webcor now.

@skematica The first record player I had was one of these except in black and white. I believe it was my Mother's originally.

Had a Pioneer PL-L50 I really liked. Also had a Sansui I really liked. Can't remember the model though.

@kdfrawg I'm just taking a break in here. There's about 40 steps to what I am doing. Nine times out of ten, anything I missed or screwed up will make itself known beforehand if I do this.

Some things can only be seen out of the corner of your eye.

Approaching the moment where I perform.."The swap"
Old server downed and new server rebooted with IP address change.

It either goes swimmingly or to Hell in a hand basket.

If it's the latter, I have no onsite nerd to assist. Just an office filled with office girls who I have to relay instructions to.

The one I deal with is as sharp as a razor though. This might no go too badly.

I still have a Shure V15 needle/cartridge somewhere.

@kdfrawg That magical moment when you bought your first turntable with a strobe and a good fine speed adjustment.

@kdfrawg I was in several barbershop quartets and choirs because of how low I can sing. But I never really enjoyed it. Got tiresome being a kid in Junior High School who could sing the bass part to "Elvira". I have a friend I used to do some Internet Radio with who still calls me Lurch. Going to smack him upside the head one of these days.

In the days of turntables, it was a curse. If the RPMs were off just slightly, I could tell and it drove me nuts. Like fingernails on a blackboard.

The woodwind stuff makes a lot of sense, actually. Beyond having perfect pitch, I have zero musical ability. Wish I did.

Okay.

  • Bind configured.
  • dhcpd configured with bind updating.
  • firewall in place.
  • selinux configured.
  • remote backup daemon configured.
  • intrusion detection stuff in place.

OH YEAH

Our software. Almost forgot.

This is mind-numbingly boring stuff.
