What's Bothering You? (The thread about what is bothering you.)

[rowdy]

I was up late last night. That isn't bothering me though, and I know that is my own fault. I can handle being sleepy. But at 6:30am we had a power outage at work. The UPS that protects our datacenter failed spectacularly. Now power is back on in the building, but the UPS is in an error condition which is making all power fail to our primary datacenter. In my IT world, where everything runs 24x7x365 this is as close to a catastrophe as I can think of without some kind of actual disaster happening. Monday morning and all the phones and systems are down. Including, by certainly not limited, to our public web sites.

Bringing all this back up is going to be a nightmare.

I hope you are able to reinstate IT services smoothly.

Worst thing when the boss is looking over your shoulder as the main server reboots and it decides to do a mandatory fsck 'cause it hasn't rebooted for 6 months.

Thanks! It went more or less as good as I could have possibly hoped. There are a couple things that aren't coming up clean, but for the most part all the critical stuff made it through alive. I did have my boss ask me about 45  times in a 20 minute span when things were going to be fixed. I was getting proper annoyed at that. Like give me 5 minutes straight to look at things and then I'll have more news than "Same as the last time you checked". I'm good, but I'm not a miracle worker.

It is 8pm now, this started at 6am, and I'm just about ready to go home. I was prepared for a 2am night, so this really isn't too bad. Tomorrow when people are back and using everything should be interesting though!

Was supposed to get a Midi Foot Controller for my ElevenRack today. Tracked this damn package for a week. The UPS guy pulled into my drive, sat there, then just drove off with no package being left on my porch.

You do not have to change them, you elect to change them if you desire.

Was playing some Rainbow Six: Siege ranked matches. My teammate kept breaking down my barrier and I go turn the corner to look into the room that he was at, got killed by him and then vote kicked off the team, gg ubisoft.

Mine tends to tangle and untangle itself according to its whims.

I just go along with it.

Have you spilt a drink on your HHKB? That's my guess

I am really torn between wanting to sell my real force =(

I have put some much time sourcing all the parts for it and I love typing on it so much.

But on the other hand I have so many other ambitious projects I want to go after as well...

Why do beautiful keyboards have to cost so much D=

I think you'll regret it. Better to just save up for a bit longer.

This ****ing rest area toilet, holy ****. Sit down to take a crap, one minute in it flushes and splashes up. Figure it was just because I repositioned or something silly. Nope. Happens every minute for the duration of crap. Ugh. I did not ask for a bidet...

It's the nanny state. They know you need a bidet, even if you don't.

That is like people which tape up the vents in office blocks because it is drafty, get a bunch of these people doing it and it messes with the distribution causing wider complaints.

Oh god no. Just stayed up late for zero reason and had to wake up early for work. So a tiny bit cranky due to lack of sleep.

My sleep schedule is all screwed up from taking the last two weeks off. I need to get back on a normal schedule again.

Based on who submitted the ticket I would not be surprised in the slightest if they brought that sort of gear to work, or that floor has this information somewhere

These Topre boards feel so good but i can't justify their price to buy one for myself.

Random note since i'm already tryping and enjoying it, i haven't had a full size board on my desk in so long, i forgot how massive these things are!
Also, JIS layout sucks dink.

Yeah, this one needs to be disassembled for the sliders and caps so i figured i'd try it out before i take it apart.

You know, that's never really occurred to me. 
To be fair i even feel like i spent too much for my GON and i also hadn't had the pleasure of using a Topre board before i bought my GON.

Been suspiciously lethargic for the past few days, I wonder if weather has anything to do with it.

Also dreading the day when I have to sell 70% of my keyboard collection when I get back in a few weeks.

Spent the last two nights trying to revert back to windows seven after my windows 10 died again. Been having USB driver issues.

After 24 hours, I'm back on Windows 7. Think I've reinstalled about 6 or 7 times in the last 8 months or so, so my SSD might be close to failure.

Also apparently I have only 4GB of RAM installed so I think my MOBO is fried too. Yay

Make sure you didn't install 32bit! Verify through your BIOS just to be sure.

Episode three - The final submission

That's probably a good idea. I need to reboot to install updates anyway.

I really, really like Win10. I just happen to have the worst luck and it constantly breaks for me.
