<0> XyZzY: donkey steakk?
<1> Steakk: I thought about going and finding some strange, but figured I'd wait, so long as Lindsey's still putting out.
<2> s/random piece of ***/cute blonde female HUMAN ***
<3> Zymurgy: well he asked for a piece of ***
<1> Heh, I have a Win2K3 R2 Server up in VMware, it's a domain controller and running DNS, DHCP, IIS, file sharing, WSUS, and (soon) SQL.
<3> Steakk: bah, now you're being picky
<4> w00t. got an adhoc wifi network setup in Linux
<2> jgaddis: XyZzY haha
<0> jgaddis: cool.. must be a pretty nice host system...
<2> errr
<2> XyZzY: haha
<3> Steakk: you do know you'll have to give OldMonk pimp charges... :P
<2> LoL
<5> sweet
<5> the penguin movie won an oscar
<6> *nod* March of the Penguins rocked.
<6> Although they should have won "Best Love Scene".
<0> penguin pr0n?
<7> ... I just totally started paying attention at the wrong time
<0> damn, I'll have to dl that movie to watch it now...
<8> CancerMan: yeah, it is a fun movie
<5> new commercial
<9> someone thought RelDrgn was a Brit?
<2> he isnt?
<1> I love it when things just work like they're supposed to.
<9> GPOs are frustrating though
<1> Tamahome_: How so?
<10> what's the O for again?
<10> I'm ***uming GP = Group Policy
<1> Object
<9> it's easy to make mistakes with multiple GPOs per OU
<10> ****ing duh. sorry.
<9> yeah, object
<5> yep, tame thing
<1> I have ***loads of GPOs per OU.
<1> Pretty much every little thing gets its own GPO.
<10> sure beats actually working, eh? :)
<1> I'm lazy, whenever I can be.
<10> i'm only half joking though, since that's got to take a lot of legwork out of it
<10> sign of a good admin
<9> was GPOs a Win2K thing or did NT4 have it as well?
<1> People at work joke w/ me all the time because I'm always just walking around the building... "don't you ever work?" They don't realize that if I'm not doing anything, that means everything is working.
<10> I'm really enjoying the use of this lightscribe drive
<9> you pay that stupid media premium?
<10> no ****. tell them to worry when they DONT see you
<1> Tamahome_: Came about with Active Directory (Win2K), AFAIK.
<9> careful, it might bite back
<10> I should really get moving on taking all my dvd's and PSP'ifying them.
<11> Hrm barley beef soup, and grilled cheese sandwiches with garlic
<12> hmph
<9> Eric
<0> hola Nanuq
<9> I had steak tonight.
<12> hey all
<12> Tamahome_: you did?
<1> Hey Eric.
<0> Tamahome_: you had Steakk tonight?
<6> jgaddis: Don't confuze lazyness with efficiency and fine-grain controls. By your standards, the best programmers and system administrators are all lazy mother****ers.
<9> Zym: ummm no
<12> Jeremy
<0> heh
<6> Mother****ers they are, but lazy no.
<1> CancerMan: No, by lazy I mean doing whatever I can from my desk without having to physically go out and visit a workstation.
<5> CancerMan: efficiency allows me to be lazy.
<1> Or scripting something instead of doing it manually 20 times.
<6> jgaddis: Efficient. :D
<1> An hour after Microsoft released their fix for the WMF vulnerability, I was VPN'd in and writing scripts to get it to every single PC. Lazy, yes. Efficient, yes.
<12> jgaddis: yes, whenever possible, solve a hardware problem in software
<12> even if it's emailing Dell, say, and getting someone to do it ;)
<9> what do you use for Windows script? just write it in VBscript?
<1> Tamahome_: Yeah, and batch files whenever possible (for simplicity). My VBscript skills aren't all that great.
<1> Fortunately, a co-worker's are. =)
<12> I'd just put ruby everywhere and forget about it
<9> VBscript is fine for cl***ic ASP... but it's a pain having to do it for Windows scripting
<1> I did the whole WMF thing with a logon script (batch file).
<1> Well, computer startup script actually... then just had to reboot every PC in the building a couple of times (which is fun, remotely)
<6> jgaddis: I did the WMF thing through my WSUS, in accordance with my "INSTALL BITCH!" OU policy.
<1> My bad... I had a startup script that unregistered that DLL. When the fix came out, I had to reverse that (to enable it) and then had the PCs reboot a few times to make sure they got their updates installed.
<1> CancerMan: Yeah, but it can sometimes be a while before clients check in. I think our GPO is set to four hours, though.
<9> how serious was that WMF vulnerability anyways? was there an exploit for it?
<1> There's a registry hack you can do as well, to cause them to immediately check-in upon next bootup.
<6> *nod* I went machine to machine installing the "other white patch", then did it the MS way.
<5> Tamahome_: it ws serious, and yes, there was a sploit.
<1> Tamahome_: It had a lot of potential, but ended up not being that bad.
<6> Tamahome: Yes, there was. And it opened CALC.
<9> ouch
<13> CancerMan: hahaha
<1> Not nearly as bad as everyone expected, anyways.
<9> heya Rel
<1> Tamahome_: It affected damn near every Windows box out there, and there wasn't a fix.
<12> Rel
<5> jgaddis: dude, it caused some *serious* problems that I saw first hand.
<6> jgaddis: ONLY because of fast reflexes of the industry...
<13> evening, Nanuq :)
<1> siglite: Oh? We weren't affected, AFAIK.
<5> jgaddis: we had one customer waylayed by it.
<5> jgaddis: I wound up pulling a 36 hour incident response shift
<1> Geez.
<5> jgaddis: me and three other engineers all had to go onsite and do the IRT thing.
<14> what is this?
<1> Hey schitzo
<5> jgaddis: that particular customer was ****ed too, because the thing coincided with a sewage explosion that took out thier IS building
<14> hey jgaddis
<9> 'lo schitzo
<1> schitzo: The WMF vulnerability/exploit from a couple of months ago.
<6> siglite: I'd like to D-Side the T. What's the T mean?
<14> 'sup Tamahome_
<14> jgaddis: oh, couple months ago.. o
<14> er ok
<1> siglite: ****ty.
<5> jgaddis: very
<14> jgaddis: heh
<1> Heh.
<3> siglite: now that would be a nasty job of cleanup
<5> jgaddis: the had about 80 people displaced.
<5> XyZzY: they contracted it out
<9> sewage explosion, yikes
<5> more like a sewage flood
<5> apparently, **** was ankle deep on the first floor
<15> well, time for lunch!
<3> still... you'd want to burn your shoes after that
<1> Bet they didn't plan for that one.
<5> jgaddis: heh, no... "flood of ****" was not in thier BC plan.
<15> jgaddis: noone plans for ankle-deep ****
<3> so the locusts are next?
<1> siglite: Is it now? =)
<16> You know it's bad when you have 5 versions of gcc on your damn newly installed box just to get something compiled...
<9> reality: something is fubar
<5> jgaddis: eh, they had "premesis failure" in thier BC plan. They used that section.
<15> reality: that *is* bad. boggle boggle boggle.
<16> Tamahome_: Yeah ffmpeg
<16> Says 3.2 is the prefered one for compilation...
<16> However, I found CVS prefers 3.4...4.Xpre1 prefers 3.2
<14> jgaddis: we have a "building go boom" in our BC plan
<13> we've got premesis failure in our disaster plan. Our plan is to go on vacation ;)
<1> schitzo: Yeah, so we do... we have a hotsite for all of our really important ****.
<9> LOL!
<5> schitzo: as do we
<14> RelDrgn: mine is to go to the tittie bar about 6 blocks away. ***uming I'm not in the building and dead
<9> hahahahahah
<6> COMP has a premesis failure plan. Basically, they move into our basement and have a Hitachi rolled in.
<5> the likelyhood of a "premesis failure" is actually fairly high for us. We've had to plan for that fairly extensively.~
