Upgrades and the Weekend

I upgraded Reality Out of Sync today, and it was smooth as glass (the expensive kind). I’ve been mucking around with themes as well, and apologize if you loaded the page and were like “What the hell just happened here?” every other page load. Whoops? I’m kind of particular about my themes though, I’m sure it wasn’t that much of a hindrance.

This is my Friday, I am so freakin’ happy. The week was going well. Then one of my co-workers came back from vacation, and suddenly the night (last night) goes all to hell. It’s like he has a curse or something. We got our asses kicked the entire night. It was horrible. This has got to stop, we need at least one more person on our shift. That’s pretty much the only way to fix this. I’m not going to get any faster. I’m not that fast of an engineer, and I’m not a rock star like some of the shift leads. That’s not to say that any of my co-workers are bad people, they aren’t.

I’ve been boning up on the postfix mail stack to assist my shift lead in transitioning us away from qmail. I fucking hate qmail. I would like it if we never ever use that piece of software again. I don’t understand it, I don’t have time to learn it while on shift when problems creep up with it, and the logging….seriously? Yah, that software irks me to no end. Why can’t we just use the tools that are already in the distro? That seems like the wiser thing to do, let custom garbage to be done and less floundering when weird problems creep up. Everyone should know postfix and its associated tools. Dovcot is not brain surgery. Why are we using qmail again? Fail. That’s why.

Did I mention I can’t wait for the weekend? Yah. That.

Good thinking on bringing the ladder - Could you take that first rung please?
