I might call that as Friday.
@elronxenu @OaaSvc Yeah, I would if it wasn’t all in cPanel, where it’s easier to keep it all together and do it in one go.
@skeevestevens @R_Chirgwin @OaaSvc Ah yes, thanks Skeeve. I lost track of who bought out who in early ISP land.
@OaaSvc Ah yes, I see what you mean. Yeah most of tomorrow night is just running the auto-migration tools.
@OaaSvc Yes, but cPanel is what these clients know, so it’s a no-brainer. There’s no business case for a change.
@OaaSvc True, but none of these sites need any of that stuff. It’s all bottom end of the bell curve.
@R_Chirgwin @OaaSvc So what did they merge into? I think I was in that data centre a few months ago. Polding Centre on Liverpool St?
@OaaSvc Yup. I used to do all this stuff quite hands-on. Probably for longer than I should have.
@jplonie @OaaSvc Hmmm… I’m not sure when we dropped that box in there. I wouldn’t have records going that far back on my laptop.
@OaaSvc I remember at one point we had a colocated Linux box in Pacific Internet’s data centre down near Circular Quay.
@OaaSvc I do recall asking, but I decide just to stick it in Crucial’s cPanel in the cloud. They’re doing the hard work on this one.
@haruki_zaemon Well I’ll at least make sure that I get proper food in, yes. I should have organised company.
@OaaSvc Oh yes. This is far from being the first one I’ve done. New platform every 3 years since about 1999. Numbers have varied.
@OaaSvc Yeah. Other people are doing the bulk of the work. I just have to cross-check and redelegate the DNS of each domain as we go.
RT @OaaSvc: Take your first rest at around 22:30. It should last until approximately 06:30. [Um, isn’t that the exact opposite of needs?]
RT @ChrissieM: frequent napping? [If you mean between now and then, sure. That’s kinda my plan so far.]
RT @juhasaarinen: Crystal meth. [I’m fairly sure that’d be a poor choice also. Again with the clear thinking bit.]
RT @expectproblems: A fifth of rye. [Yeah, I’m not sure that’s conducing to clear thinking.]
Pondering the best strategy to prepare rest levels before working 2300 onwards overnight on Saturday night.
@SnarkyPlatypus @jonoabroad @stufromoz Yes, like the story of boy Jesus being told off for turning unruly playmates into pillars of stone.
@interrogativus Mr Murphy needs no temptation. He does his work regardless.
@stufromoz @SnarkyPlatypus @jonoabroad Don’t you know the parable of Jesus’ nuts?
A friend’s bf’s kids visited over Xmas. He’s not happy. “Very annoying fility cunts, still cleaning up, they have to be disciplined.”
RT @5at5daily: 5at5 number 132: Charlie Brooker, Victorian futurism, safe flying, Lizard Kid fail, and a rant about Britain. http://t.co/ZX…
@jonoabroad @SnarkyPlatypus Oh. My brain kinda turns off when Ballmer’s name is mentioned, and I start imagining squirrels and stuff.
Right, I’ve done as much preparation for tomorrow night’s server migration as I can. Or can be bothered with. Close enough is good enough.
@jonoabroad @SnarkyPlatypus What the actual fuck are you talking about?
@SnarkyPlatypus I can’t quite grasp the subtlety of this strategy, so I don’t know that it’s actually making me less annoyed.
@SnarkyPlatypus Is it?
Frightfully annoyed.
SwiftOnSecurity Tell furries you “know everything about them” because you “saw that CSI episode.”
They will instantly bond with you.
@jeamland Look, things haven’t gotten quite that bad yet.
Breaking all the things.
“Refused to display [REDACTED] in a frame because it set ‘X-Frame-Options’ to ‘SAMEORIGIN’.†No. Fuck off. Just do it you arsehole.
Suppressing urges. Dark, nasty urges.
WHOSE FUCKING BRIGHT IDEA WAS IT TO HAVE FUCKING WEB BROWSERS IN THE FIR… Oh hang on. I know whose idea that was. As you were.
Struggling with a fractious website authentication and insufficient gin for this bullshit.
Fri plan: Prepare for tomorrow night’s server migration (half done now); New Year administrivia@5at5dailyly; planning; remainder TBA.
Is it wine o’clock yet?
@feraldata Oh thanks. It can be an idiosyncratic selection at times, but then I guess that’s the point.
@SnarkyPlatypus Je vous souhaite bonne chance dans votre mission. Quant à moi, je vais choisir une cible en temps voulu.
@SnarkyPlatypus Bonjour. Aujourd’hui est un jour d’énormes difficultés. Je vais extraire la vengeance. Et vous?
Fri plan, draft: Prepare for tomorrow night’s server migration; New Year administrivia@5at5dailyly; planning; remainder TBA.
Friday. Although it has just begun, it is already doomed to failure. Friday.
