Been nothing but a building site in my road for the last month. Haven't had a lie in for weeks now and never mind what all the sh*t that's flying about it doing to my new car

I wept openly this evening when we got a tiny breeze through the window. 31c until the sun set here. Just 26 now.

I've spent the last 5+ hours wading through ESXi intricacies and logfiles to find out what happened to a box earlier.

It's about 35 C in here, I kept saying to myself "I'll wheel out the aircon if I'm still on this in 5 minutes" and that turned into 5 hours

Turned out the host went down cos someone at the colo pushed the power button on the wrong box. Grrrrr

Sorry, but I couldn't help but LOL at that one

In my defence I've had a similar day. Spent the whole day looking at a screaming urgent production incident only to find that someone has changed some security settings on a folder. Changed them back and bingo.

I'm sure I'll laugh once my core temperature has gone down to double-digits, and I've received a grovelling apology from the colo!

As an aside, during this I found that /etc/shadow had permissions as

Code:
-rw-r--r-T    1 root     root                328 Jun 23  2013 shadow

After my heart rate returned to something resembling normality I discovered this was a standard ESXi setting, not the result of all the .cn IPs managing to guess passwords and rooting the box. Although I didn't realise that was a default before the last 5 or so IPs that had been brute-forcing via SSH had been blatted off the net via some random dude with a pipe waaaaaay bigger than theirs. Something about best defence is a good offence?

the weather is blinding!

Yes, it is!! I have high eye pressure in my knackered eye anyway so this weather is causing me a lot of pain to the point where all I can see is an orange hue in the middle of a black tunnel.

I don't wish it to cool down, I want the lazy health service to pull their finger out and fix it or take it away.

Been scorchio all week up these parts !

I'm a courier and had extra work in all week and it's been 7am-7pm days best part of the week, been absolutely frazzled in the sun but nice to get home and relax with a good few ice cold beers !

Tanning up nicely, especially me driver's arm !

The rest will be tanned up when I fly off to Malaga on Sunday for 2 weeks
