I am so tired. A part of my job sometimes is to deploy new equipment in the field for testing, and also perform upgrades to some specific sites (known as pops). This morning was the culmination of a huge (well...large anyways) project in San Fransisco, CA...or as I like to call it SNFCCA. There was pretty much a two week timeframe to plan moving 25k + customers from 8 devices to 2 devices (larger capacity). This included getting the darn stuff and having it delivered/racked/powered/cabled/configured. There really is nothing quite as sucky as having to pull and route 11 /20's, not to mention moving the routes for the various /24's /23's, you name it it was there, for all the static customers. And then let's not forget the atm pvc provisioning for each of the 8 oc3's to the new line cards. And the last but not least all the scripts/databases/ etc....hell, I can't even reach the tftp server to weed out the dynamic routes from the dist routers because my tacacs isn't working right. I need a vacation, seriously, I've never said that before in my life, but I need some time off away from a computer before I either kill somebody or go mad. My eyes hurt all the time, my back is a mess, and for some reason my right index finger hurts (the scroll wheel and left click one). I think I'm slowly falling apart. In some good news, Jen's been getting ready for her Motorcycle class this friday. I took her out last night for a little practice in a local parking lot. You know the stopping, turning, stuff like that. She's really gotten a lot better lately since she got her motorcycle boots ;) I hope they start offering Bif Naked's lastest CD (Superbeautifulmonster) soon here in the US. I could also use some more Le Tigre but they haven't done any new stuff lately...maybe I should see about finding some more Moloko. only one link today, been to busy:
- The coolest VW camper you'll ever see. Check it out, it's like a freaking transformer towards the end.
