Between control panels and “Project White Elephant” it may appear that my new job sucks.
It doesn't really. Aside from the control panels and “Project White Elephant” the job is quite easy really, and gives me time to do my own thing.
But like my other job (managing several servers) when it sucks it sucks [1].
I'm spending this fine Sunday evening dealing with the current lunacy that is “Project White Elephant.” [2] The particular lunancy I'm talking about would probably be helped with UCARP (Common Address Redundancy Protocol For Unix) [3] but sadly, not only do we not have the time to get this installed and tested, but we (myself and C) are not in full control of the project (there's apparently a third name server that's running Bind 9x [4] which is causing all sorts of fun) so we're stuck with the current solution.
Blah.
