Random bits

Today I did have the first production restore using amanda. It went like a charm. I’ve spent some time with Red Hat Network today, since updates were coming faster then I could put them – kernel, php, openldap, kerberos, xpdf, etc.

Half of the day was spent on a somewhat lengthy presentation by HP guys. Few of them were local, rest came from Greece. Nice talk about HP itself, hardware (mostly Proliant servers and blades), and software (mostly OpenView). Few of them were rather impressed by our home-grown solution based on Nagios (aka Netsaint), MRTG, RT help desk, tkined/scotty, mtr, and few other tools (maybe later I will fill in the links, but now I am too lazy and tired).

Mondays

Monday… I hate mondays… I hate mondays more with every next monday. First, I just didn’t like them. Then I run mkfs.ext3 on a wrong partition exactly at the same time as the tape library chews the latest backup. After a hard-working weekend. Next monday I get tornado with twisters and few huge garbage bins flying around my new car. If that still seems not enough, next monday (today), I get snow (!!!) and a drunk bird which kisses the window right in front of me in full speed. I think it dropped dead down. Maybe it’s alive. I don’t care. I just hate mondays soooo much…
