Today being my Birthday pretty much started my day. Somehow I managed to accept a call at 00:12 (while I was asleep) but I don’t even remember taking it. Somehow my real live is getting better and better (as in finding some friends as I pretty much was a hermit for the last couple of years). Also I found someone to share my toughts with, someone who understands it, how to really get to me (read it as a very good friend 😛) ...
Once again, I’m compelled to play (other call it administering 😛) with our TYPO3 cluster (which is sadly running SLES). One thing I just learned about SLES (for the ones curious, its Novell’s SuSE Linux Enterprise Server and yes, it suffers the same pain as SuSE/openSuSE). They split one single config file (at least the apache2 one) into 9 (or more) different files. Another thing is, for what the hell does a simple LAMP need a full blown Xorg w/ KDE installed ? ...
Today they finally let me fiddle around on an AIX 5.3 system. Well AIX ain’t bad, but misses (by default installation) some features and comfort. The first thing I noticed, they only! install telnet and don’t even give an option to install sshd .. That sucks, especially if you’re supposed to log in via the internet (yay! an telnet open to the internet 😯) So I googled a bit around and found out, that we should have some Bonus CD’s (from IBM of course) featuring openssl/openssh, looked into the cubicle behind the rack and look what I’ve found … Go, go … 😛 ...
Well, so I finally got around to fix some pending bugs .. vzquota and vzctl is finally bumped ( #122532), new baselayout-vserver is in the tree (fixing some issues with rebooting a vps) and I’m finally working on getting dietlibc updated. So let’s see what the day reveals 😄
Today was again horrible. The boss started to drive me nuts on 8.30 and it even got worser and worser …. Sometimes I start thinking how it would be, if I had decided not to move with my parents into the outback (yeah, we’ve also outback in Germany, it’s called East Germany 😛)
