System time: Fri/04/18 : 05:20:49 Apes From Space2:45am, still not asleep. Gah. Wondering if I should bother trying to lay down again at this point... have to get up in three and a bit hours anyway. It is strange the things one might find amusing when tired. Things such as this for example: These guys strike me as a combination of between Justice, and Deadmau5, with a pinch of Daft Punk. I should point out, that the version of this song that one would get from the Single, is far better than the youtubish one. It doesn't have a pointless 1minute, 30sec intro for example (pre-skipped for your convenience of-course). Disco Decay is also pretty good. Well, that burned 10 minutes. What the heck, I'll try lying down again. Toodles
Out of Body ExperienceSome things I learned today:
Yeah, I'm done.
Anyway the Main Thing IsIt's been a long time comin, I know! Snowed about a foot in them thar hills today. Sun lighting up the ridge over yonder looked pretty damn amazing... if only I had a camera. So... had a series of stupid problems with our billing, ticketing, and dispatching systems at work the other day. The stupidity surrounding them was further compounded by a lack of documentation (Yay!). ![]() Scaling is a concern, up to / past 10 VM's, though as it is, there's plenty of room for a quick blurb on each vm and it's function(s). So tired. So very, very tired... and perpetually bewildered. Fsck. I'll just leave this here...
Disco CubismI was conversing with a group of friends the other night, and the question of "Which is bigger, the Millenium Falcon, or Serenty?". Slightly related topic, this article on how Warp Speed works, was equally interesting (though, absurd and preposterous). I recently had the opportunity to play around with a production ASA 5505. I must admit I was far less intimidated by it than my first experience with them, though packet-trace struck me as a bit of a red herring. I'm also pleased to report, Airsoft Kitty is making an expedient recovery. Toodles for naow.
Peas and RiceIn the interests of actually completing a post, this is significantly shorter than I previously intended... Ho-well, needs must. I have touched on my overall dislike of humanity once before, males in particular. That aside, life goes on otherwise I guess. 6 Weeks away from work, and I've never been more confused now than I can ever remember being. A particular phrase comes to mind; ZOMGWTFBBQ!11!!!!1one! WEEE! A KITTY! ![]() Quite some time ago now, I had someone ask me how a VLAN access port would behave when it receives tagged frames. I was unsure how to answer outside of assumption that tagged frames would be dropped. For now, results on Adv Enterprises, 12.4(21):
Granted my test was using some NM-16ESW's on a pair of 3725's, but oh-well. If I'm bored enough, and in posession of some new enough Catalysts, I may repeat the test. I really should just order some 2950's or 3550's off ebay... they're all of 80 bucks. :S Also, it are catchy song... though the video is somewhat disturbing.
Needing GettingWaiting for Outlook to open. Should be good to go in about 5 more minutes. In the meantime, here - watch this:
ClashI felt this was worthy of it's own post:
KickstartsConsidering how slowly time seems to have passed of late, it's sure seems to have gone by quickly. Have had plenty a restless night over the last few weeks for whatever reasons. My inhibitor has been suffering from capacity issues as a result. I may or may not have said things somewhat unbecoming of myself. Discussing if you're on chocolate-covering terms with someone, is not the sort of conversation I would typically engage in for example. In other news... I has a car again. A '98 Passat with a hair over 300,000 Kilometers on the clock. Will do just nicely 'till I can find something I'd rather get. I'd quite like one of these, but may wait until winter's done it's thing before getting carried away. How peculiar. It would seem my blog database went all kersplodie the other night. Fix'd - backups for the win! I started this post about 2200hrs last night, and I'm not entirely certain 0345 is exactly the best time to finish it after a week of sleep deprivation, but since I can't sleep, might as well do something productive. On Minecraft... the two worlds I have running are pretty much starving my poor server for resources. Not sure if I'm better served rolling the two worlds into one VM, or just move them to a dedicated machine entirely. Hmm, best call it at that. This is turning into a sweary rant-fest. But before I do - fuckin' ay.
Rolling In The DeepYet another large expanse of time appears to have elapsed since my last post. Trying to get back in the groove and start posting on a regular basis. I may have touched on pseudowires briefly in a previous post some time back. ref: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_3t/12_3t2/feature/guide/gtl2tpv3.html#wp1042632 I must have read and re-read that document about 3 times over the course of the evening while I was playing around with them last. Go-go-gadget observation skills... couldn't believe I missed that one. Still doesn't really explain the swath of errors I was seeing, but maybe that was just dynamips. Anyway, rambling aside - it would seem that is possible to drop a pseudowire on an 802.1q subinterface, provided the l2 interfaces match either end. This makes them frighteningly useful. On the lighter side of things - if I haven't already pointed it out yet, go read Lackadaisy Cats. I'm not saying that just because the characters are depicted by cats... it is genuinely funny, and I do so love the art style. Some may even say it's magically delicious - present company included. There has been a renewed interest in the Übernet of late. Dust off all the bits and pieces I acquired a couple years back, and have started their respective assembly. Hum... 23:31 and I'm supposed to be at work by 06:00 to prep for a teleconference. Whoops... silly me.
Vanishing PointWell, been a while. Not a lot to say at the moment, but figured it was about time I shake the dust of the old blog. Picked up an 1811 for the server, it will sometime soon (I hope) be taking the place of the WRAP currently sitting between this blog and the internets. Bit of tomfoolery to do with the vswitches in ESXi though, as I'll be moving the grey listing onto the mail VM proper and such. The more perceptive of viewers may have noticed six new images in my gallery. For reasons I don't quite understand, I've acquired a new domain. Allow me to present: Accompanied by it's .net, and .ca counterparts, but they don't really do anything at this point. Work to do, ta ta for now.
When The Lights Go DownThis, is by far, the best spam I have ever seen in my life. Buy 9 grams, get one free? Tomahawk rockets? FREE HEROIN SHIPPING! 1. Heroin, in liquid and crystal form. 2. Rocket fuel and Tomohawk rockets (serious enquiries only). 4. New shipment of cocaine has arrived, buy 9 grams and get 10th for free. Everebody welcome, but not US citizens, sorry. ATTENTION. Clearance offer. Buy 30 grams of heroin, get 5 free. Please contact: debbier16 (at) gmail dot com PHONE 0093(0)4765481 FAX 0093(0)4485291 Afghanistan Body's e-mail address respectfully scrubbed. Though it wouldn't please me more than to flood that idiot's address with spam from more bots, it would be an un-necessarily pointless thing to do to gmail. Another equally awesome Spam of late: on the cisco-nsp list over at puck.nether.net was offering me nuclear warheads and missiles at a discount rate. Too bad it appears to have been stripped from the archives. Randomness! Emille says: what the heck is a gaming tax refund, and why is MSN trying to make me click on it? Co-worker says: Trying, like sent a burly guy in a suit to drag your arm and mouse to click on it? Emille says: perhaps. I'd rather punch a monkey
Good song... seems short for almost 10 minutes. Just kinda works out that way I suppose.
EverythingMinecraft, it would seem, is terribly addictive. Random amusing conversations from last week: You say: you know what would be awesome... Coworker says: Snakes with wheels? You say: Snakes with caterpillar treads is a highly amusing thought come to think of it... but no, other than that...
I was actually thinking something that could poll various routers and such for MAC addresses and store them in a central database for if/when you need to find a specific MAC on your network somewhere. Along the lines of an IPAM system, but not as intense... just MAC accounting. I also had an interesting conversation regarding second hand VM's, and their potential market value. I think they would be somewhat in-line with the DVD rewinder Needs moar muzik... Let's see, this should suffice.
