this has been my day

[kleinma]

starts at the bottom.. every few ours my host updates this notification to kindly inform me their system is still broken..... like I couldn't tell that by not getting any emails and not being able to get to my site

Thursday, December 18, 2008, 11:15 a.m., Pacific time
Still awaiting a fix from the backbone connection provider.

Thursday, December 18, 2008, 8:50 a.m., Pacific time
Unfortunately, we are still waiting for a fix from the backbone connection provider. Connections continue to be slow or time out.

Thursday, December 18, 2008, 7:40 a.m., Pacific time
As it turns out this is not a router hardware issue, but rather a problem with one of our backbone connection providers. Shortly after 7 a.m. Pacific time we disabled the connection that was causing problems, but in doing so we lost half the bandwidth available to the data center, so you may still experience slow loads and time-outs, as this is typically our busiest time for the U.S. data center. Administrators are working with the provider to remedy the issue, but currently we are afraid that we have no ETA for a fix.

Thursday, December 18, 2008, 4:45 a.m., Pacific time
We are experiencing dropped packets at one of our routers that is causing latency or timeouts on connections to our Los Angeles data center for many users. System administrators are working on the issue at this time and should have normal operations resumed as soon as possible.

My day has been trying to pinpoint an issue regarding Lucene (if anyone is familiar with it)

I'm not and somehow it's just causing a problem that is causing a mature enterprise application to just die.

so sad. Might do some experimentation on it (since i'm obsessive compulsive about solving programming problems that escapes me... well most of the times that is)

[oceanebelle]

and oh yeah my day is not at the end yet. Right now I need to cook rice for my dinner at the same time wash a week's worth of dishes an accumulation brought about by successive long days... :sigh:

How lazyyyyy

[oceanebelle]

How lazyyyyy

would you want to wash dishes if you were at home each night at least around 9-11 pm?

:'(. I like to wash dishes around 7 - 8.

[Pradeep1210]

I reach home around that time only... but wash the dishes in the morning

[oceanebelle]

I am quite meticulous with my washing dishes that it takes me 30 minutes for one load. That's about 10-12 dishes, 15 or so spoon and forks, 5 or so cups and glasses, 3-5 pots and pans.

[oceanebelle]

Hmm i'll have to cook noodles instead for my dinner.

[kleinma]

My dishwasher refuses to let me clean any dishes myself. I put them in there, turn it on, and the greedy thing cleans them all by itself...

[oceanebelle]

thank god for noodles!

I suppose you don't have a rice cooker?

[kleinma]

I do, but its up the street about a mile at this place called China Garden Takeout....

[oceanebelle]

I do my own chinese/asian cooking. So it was either one but not both. Of course I am partial to rice.

[kleinma]

I do all my own cooking so long as it cooks in a microwave. The closest I get to actually making food is when I stand next to someone else that is making food.

although to pick between noodles or rice, when it comes to asian food, I also would pick rice....

My day: Up at 2 with a raging fever that kept me in fever dreams until I finally got up around 7. In to the office by 9, brief presentation while floating in a feverish daze. Back home by 11. Asleep on the couch for most of the afternoon. Now, still in a feverish daze, but not particularly tired, so a few games.

[crptcblade]

My day: Here's a bonus check for a lot of money. Oh, and why don't you let the company buy you lunch. Oh, and here is some side work for a friend of the CEO, which pays more than the company pays you. Oh, and you can take the rest of the year off. I'm somewhat happy with my current place of occupation.

[MaximilianMayrhofer]

Unemployed, huh..

[FunkyDexter]

In that case you're welcome wash mine any time you like. Consider it a favour from me to you. No need to thank me.

I've got a dishwasher but it's total rubbish. It never actually seems to clean anything properly and just leave dired on baked bean juice on all my wine glasses.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Dude, you aren't supposed to use wine glasses for baked beans. Don't you have a bloody CLUE about ettiquet? Shot glasses are the proper utensil.

[homer13j]

I thought he was making wine from baked beans...

[Shaggy Hiker]

If the beans were really baked, perhaps he was just extracting wine from them.

[mendhak]

I'm in Greece. It's a riot.

[mendhak]

Zaza is here. He likes his monkey business.

[zaza]

mendhak is smoking like Lee Harvey Oswald's gun; murderously, repeatedly and in public

How predictable.
