Night Shift
Jul. 15th, 2009 10:06 pmIt's yet another Wednesday evening maintenance cycle at the office. I'm typing this in the data center, waiting for some system integrity checks to complete.
Tonight's load is actually relatively light as far as the work is concerned: I've strung a few cables, moved a server blade from one chassis to another, installed some libraries on seven Solaris 10 boxes and will shortly be imaging two servers with Linux. So far, the only trouble I've encountered was the traffic getting here from home but that's not unusual in the DC area.
And I finally got my car washed. I located a car wash not far from the data center so when I realized I still had a little extra time before my evening work would begin, I zipped in to take two weeks worth of tree sap and entrapped dirt off my Civic. Both of us feel much cleaner now.
Now to close out some work tickets and finish the integrity checks...
