Comments:
<0> well, I'm off at noon tomorrow. Then I have a 3.5 drive home to Manchester.
<1> he wasnt kidding.
<0> ;)
<2> 3.5hrs? Where are you coming from, Rhode Island?
<0> upstate NY
<2> Oooh ok
<2> Ouch
<2> So how do you get to Manchester? Do you take I-90 to 495 up to 3?
<0> yup
<2> Or do you know some way to cut straight through VT?
<2> Ah ok
<0> ha. no such route. I wish
<2> Yeah, very long drive.
<0> a little over 200 miles.
<2> Sure there is, all you need is a snowmobile...
<2> Or an ATV I guess, there hasn't been much snow lately
<0> go all the way out the MA Pike (90) to the first exit in NY, take route 22 south about 30 miles...
<3> ooooo scary. It's getting worrying when I see two letters and translate them to a state within 0.6 seconds.
<2> lol
<3> But where the hell's Vermont?
<0> I'm about 10 minutes away from the Lime Rock Park speedway.
<2> 1st exit on 90 is... what, Albany?
<2> Oh whoa, almost into CT
<0> no.... albany is still further yet.
<2> I used to go to Lime Rock every year for the Vintage Car thing every fall
<2> Oh ok
<0> Yeah, Millerton NY is right on the CT border next to Lakeville
<2> It's been a while since I went that way
<2> Ah ok cool
<3> ahhh, that's where it is. East of NY state
<0> I could get off the pike earlier and wind around on route 7 through Great Barrington, etc... that's shorter but slower. Route 22 is 55 all the way and no traffic lights.
<2> Ah ok
<2> that makes a big difference
<2> Do you know where Goldens Bridge, NY is?
<0> hmmm... don't think so.
<4> In New York, presumably.
<2> Got an uncle there, it's right on/near the CT border.
<2> It's one exit up from Katonah
<4> Half would be in New York, then.
<4> ;)
<2> :-P Hiya Nanuq
<4> aloha
<5> quelqu un pour maider
<2> Get ye back to your northern place there, Nanuq of the North!
<4> I feel like I'm in a game of pong. I'm getting bounced from one system to another (hell desk)
<0> moose piss
<1> better molson than bud
<3> Nanuq: hi there, Eric.
<4> Viking667: hi there, Eric.
<2> Hah, I can picture that in the news, "One of the worst ecological disasters since the Exxon Valdez spill when a freighter runs aground in the Atlantic, spilling 50,000 gallons of Molson. Many whales get drunk and beach themselves!"
<0> D-side: I'm not sure... given a choice between bad taste and no taste? Hmmm...
<4> CeruleanD: And many humans do not.
<2> Naw, humans don't need beer to beach themselves.
<0> indeed. rum will do quite nicely as well. :)
<2> ugh
<2> I think our phone system is down.
<2> And I know nothing about it, my boss set it up.
<2> And I can't call him to tell him. :(
<6> argh
<6> i can't wake up properly
<4> argh yourself, Qim
<6> Qim yourself, Eriq
<1> what kind of phone system
<4> Cynic: I am Argh, son of Blah, ruler of Pfft
<2> 3com
<0> I am Phil, Prince of Insufficient Light and Ruler of Heck
<2> IP telephony.
<4> heh
<2> At it's best.
<2> lol Ka-bar
<1> ah one of those NX piecesof**** i'm sure
<2> uh huh
<1> CeruleanD: reboot it.
<2> I don't even know where the server for it is.
<2> $boss left me completely out of the loop on it.
<0> CeruleanD: hahahahaha... we had a 3com "voip" system at my last job. DO NOT put your phones on the same network as anything else you want to be able to use....
<2> heh
<2> Of course they are... probably...
<1> CeruleanD: its probably in a rack.
<2> Actually I dunno.
<2> Yeah, I poked around our racks, $boss installs new systems and never labels them and never puts them into inventory.
<0> we had two sets of switches and two ethernet jacks in each office... one for our phone and one for our machines.
<2> Every January or so he has me run around and inventory everything... which is a bitch when there are many new systems that never got put in inventory, so I can't just check them off, I have to login and get their stats and crap.
<1> CeruleanD: it'll be labeled, the case has the logo and name on it
<0> The 3com phones are not quite SIP and not quite h323... they're "special"
<2> Oh? It's a custom 3Com case?
<1> yeah
<1> probably gray
<2> Hold on, let me poke around, thanks!
<1> Ka-bar: they use they're own horse****.
<1> utter pieces of ****.
<0> *nod*
<1> ****ing things wouldnt even deal with a vanilla pri
<0> nope. We had to set up an asterisk box just to sit between the 3com system and the pri. what a ****ing joke.
<1> ah, you've lived the same hell!
<2> yay! Found it, thank you very much.
<1> told you!
<2> Oddly enough, it was in the telecom room. :">
<2> <---'tard
<1> who knew
<0> D'oh!
<2> Weird, huh?
<1> dont worry.
<2> I never go in there except to flip breakers when they blow, I never think that anything else of importance is in there.
<2> It might as well be a janitorial closet, heh
<2> "Yeah, I go in there for cleaning supplies all the time, but I had no idea we kept servers in there too!"
<1> i've never met a company employee who was proficient at pbx maintenence
<2> heh, no matter what IT job I've ever done, there was always a seperate telecom guy or group and I was never involved with the tech stuff on it.
<1> yeah
<2> The PBX room/switchboard was always taboo to me.
<1> and he's always been an idiot
<2> lol, typically, yeah, heh
<1> i have yet to meet one, just one, whoknows his elbow from his ***hole
<2> 95% of the time he'd have to call in a real tech from the manufacturer, like Meridian or something
<1> slow down with that "real manufacturer" when you say meridian.
<2> Except when I worked at Teloquent... they had some real smart [seeming] people there, but then again, that was their *industry*, hehe
<0> heh... yeah. you're talking about Nortel now...
<2> Nortel, yeah, I was trying to think of them
<2> ok, brb, gotta walk around and make sure no one's on a customer call before I reboot the system.
<7> -s Supervised, restart if crashes or locks up
<1> my job keeps me buried under a mountain of both data and telecom work. i've lived this hell.
<4> eww.
<3> ewwwwww, gross.
<7> should i /exec ?
<0> wasn't sure what else to call it...
<8> (.)(.) target lol
<9> Ka-bar, it probably wouldn't have mattered ;)
<7> Tawny: that's a better target ;)
<0> Tawny! o_O
<1> i have key lime gelato
<8> lol
<6> ey Liandrin
<9> D-side, tasty
<9> hey Cynic
<1> Liandrin: with graham cracker bits in it also.
<4> Liandrin!
<2> rofl Tawny. O.o
<8> :)
<2> So this is what happens when I'm not here! I miss all the good stuff
<2> Behavior like that and you can't catch a good geek in your neighborhood, Tawny? They must be intimidated. ;) hehe
<8> lol
<2> "Like, ZOMG, r u 4 reel?? 4 g33kgrrrl! *hide*"
<2> ROFL, I hate to say this, but this has happened to me: http://devilspanties.keenspot.com/d/20060405.html
