Full day:
- Prepare new network map
- Take stand-in techie around server room and explain new network setup
- Check UPS; still not crashed
- New Sun 4240 server unable to get past POST after hooking up fibre cable yesterday to SL-500 library. Try various things, no luck. Fortunately installers coming back next week to finish the job.
- Over to server room w/boss to take pictures for website
- Get programmer familiar w/the server she'll be using, how to set up services, etc. Arguably my job, but a) she'll want to learn and b) I'm off on vacation next week.
- Unless of course the UPS folks need to schedule downtime to make it work. But then I'll just use it as an excuse to show my dad and kids around the server room.
- Gotta pick out an IPA recipe to brew with my dad. Leaning toward the Cream IPA from Radical Brewing. May need to get a cooler to use as a lauter tun, since I think it's around 13 pounds of grain — more than I can comfortably do in my paint bag strainer setup.
- Still got out to walk around at lunch time, which was nice; I have a bad habit of skipping that.
