Rebuttal: No, no, my doggy gets a seat!
Rebuttal: No, no need to accommodate him, I’ll just leave him in the car.
This was a response to a grad student’s trouble ticket:
I’ve brought the computer back down to 1125. It’s been reinstalled with TSG’s CentOS install. (If it has network problems in the future, reinstalling the operating system isn’t a very fruitful first step in troubleshooting.) If its networking acts up again, try powering it off and back on again. If this is more than an occasional thing, let us know and we’ll bring the issue up with HP.
A different proposal for Thursday fun this week… Tomorrow evening is
an open house for the new NCSA Peta Scale computing data center next to
the Assembly Hall lot.

Should be fun if you’re into data center porn. I’m throwing out meeting
there at 5, doing some tour schtick, then going out for dinner/drinks.
We can keep up the theme by ordering drinks like blue margaritas, blue
moons, scotch and waters, or just waters.
(When I think Blue Waters, I think many things, but the DMB song Still
Waters jumps in my head.

Anyone interested?

This kind of issue defines why a site should have a storage architect, to select the best overall implementation of such storage, including safeguarding against problems. Some storage requires only failsafe protection represented in RAID 1 or RAID 5. Some requires multi-generation file-level backup for recoverability from logical errors and tampering. Then there are disaster recovery requirements of the site. The site storage specialist would also have knowledge of the characteristics of the data at the site, and be versed in regulatory requirements, for privacy and retention factors to be considered in the overall solution. The storage specialist would also be up on the latest storage technologies and products, to select the most appropriate to the needs.
The days of a company department acquiring a clump of disk and implementing it in an arbitrary manner are long gone…or should be.

I found five-laws-of-calendars.txt sitting in my home directory. I don’t remember if I wrote this or stole this. But I’m sure it was when I was thinking in a very Ranganathan-ian way. Topical again as campus switches to Exchange for calendaring and we still have scheduling/announcement problems. It’s not a technology problem, it’s a way of thinking problem. These rules might help.
From their weekly (?) emails:
“This week is American Craft beer week and we will be celebrating by having ten RateBeer 100s on tap at one time. Featured are Goose Island Bourbon County Stout, Port Old Viscosity, Port Older Viscosity, and Lost Abbey Angel’s Share. Nineteen of the twenty-seven beers on tap are rated 96 or above. Twenty-four are rated 87 or better and two of the three that aren’t rated highly are tremendous light beers that I think have not been given enough credit. This will be a collection of great beers rarely seen anywhere.”
I think the 27th unmentioned beer is PBR. You know, for the hipsters.

Hey,

So I kinda hate the Canopy club, but I like two of the five bands
playing at the Laughing Prairie Dog Fest tonight, and the rest sound good enough to pull me in. You should come out too.
$13 tix at the door (2c cheaper than buying online…..) According to WPGU, the order’s:
New Ruins http://www.myspace.com/newruins
Yourself and the Air http://www.myspace.com/yourselfandtheair
Jookabox http://www.myspace.com/jookabox
Joe Pug http://www.myspace.com/thejoepug
Doors at 8, but I think a local frat band’s opening. I’m bad with Canopy scheduling, so I just plan on being there. Hope to see ya,
“O HUSHED October morning mild,
Thy leaves have ripened to the fall;
To-morrow’s wind, if it be wild,
Should waste them all.
The crows above the forest call;
To-morrow they may form and go.
O hushed October morning mild,
Begin the hours of this day slow,
Make the day seem to us less brief.
Hearts not averse to being beguiled,
Beguile us in the way you know;
Release one leaf at break of day;
At noon release another leaf;
One from our trees, one far away;
Retard the sun with gentle mist;
Enchant the land with amethyst.
Slow, slow!
For the grapes’ sake, if they were all,
Whose leaves already are burnt with frost,
Whose clustered fruit must else be lost—
For the grapes’ sake along the wall.”
