Having a few beers, and cooking a small turkey for dinner.

I almost forgot that I meant to pour myself some wine...

LeVar Burton
Yeah. He did Roots in the 70s. And then with his money from that made Reading Rainbow.
He did TNG after that.

Roots was his first show. Not just his first screen appearance... literally his first audition!
LeVar Burton is freaking awesome.

Spending all evening making a new template and deploying basic assets in my lab. Not nearly so productive as I hopped.

Got home a couple of hours ago exhausted.
Went to the colo this morning to setup our new IPOD and we started by booting up hosts. In the middle of the boot process, the whole rack goes dark, like anti-Christmas, no lights, no joy dark. This includes all of the vm servers that are currently in production.
After a series of trying to bring the servers back online and it goes dark again, we concluded that we were pulling too many amps. So we unplugged all non-critical gear to get the most critical up and running. Rack still goes dark.
After more digging, it was discovered that our redundant power was never really redundant. Both legs were plugged into one outlet for the entire rack. That was the colo's responsibility to take care of for us. We then also discovered that we were allocated 4 30-amp outlets. We got more power strips and plugged them into the additional outlets and began moving equipment to the new strips while still partially relying on the old. I still don't have full faith in the old strips.
Lessons learned today
- Before you deploy new equipment, make sure you have enough amps to power all of the equipment.
- Make sure your redundant power is truly redundant.

Wondering why some people are such idiots....

Is SW having issues this morning? It is so hard to tell from here because everything is so slow and their site is so heavy that it fails often even when other things work, but it is just normal. But I'm not seeing any issues at all on other sites and I've getting constant page failures there, no ability to post or load threads. Is it just me?
