Those of you who know me (or who have read back in my lj) know that I hold certain beliefs about the operating system a male runs, and how it pertains to relationships and physical attributes. It's been joked about that I should write a paper on the subject, but honestly my experience just isn't enough. I need more geek girl (or guy) opinions. I just want to hear about experiences you have had with the opposite sex (or same sex, if that's your thing) and what OS he/she ran. You can either shoot an email off to me, or just reply in the rant section of this post.

As you've probably noticed, FreeBSDgirl has been down about a day. Apparently there was a DoS attack on a box on my subnet, so they removed the route for the entire freaking class c. lovely, eh? Here's a few select entries from the ticket I created about this issue.
---
me: I read on the support page that the DCA2 network is back to normal, but none of the IP's on that subnet are pinging for my server. Are they still down, and is there any ETA? What steps are being taken to stop the attack other than blocking off the entire subnet? Don't you think that's a bit drastic?
them: Your server has been restarted.
me: EXCUSE ME???
WHAT THE FREAKING HELL???
My server did *NOT* need to be restarted, you freak. I was in the middle of make world on FreeBSD 5.1 to fix the new openssh problem. One of my IP's was NOT on that subnet, and the interface was fine.
DO NOT EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER REBOOT MY SERVER EVER AGAIN WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE AND CONSENT.
If my server for some reason has problems, I fully expect the superb internet staff to fix it free of charge.
What the hell were you thinking? Are you completely bloody incompetent?
Oh gee, and look at this, it didn't fix my problem.
66.36.251.65 still isn't pinging. AND IT ISN'T A PROBLEM WITH MY SERVER.
Do you even bother to read your own support page?
me: My server is back up on one interface, but the other three are still down.
Ken, you lazy, illiterate NOC monkey. I work at Interland as a UNIX NOC monkey. I know all about the "i don't feel like researching the issue so I'm just going to reboot the server and hope that fixes it." I hope you get laid off and become a nurse at an assisted living neighborhood, and spend the rest of your life changing elderly peoples diapers. Go eat some lice.
Oh yeah, and I also expect some kind of credit. Reboot my server, will you? As if.
them: There was a specific reason other than the fact that the subnet was being blocked that your server wasn't pinging.
I put a monitor on your server saw that it had crashed and rebooted it.
As for it not pinging here are some results from various locations around the world.
them: I'm sorry, through all the mud slinging that your typing, I'm not sure I understand. You would like me to reboot your server?
me: It hadn't crashed. I was on it. I was working, I was typing, the site on the ONLY ip that was up was serving pages. However, the primary IP was not pinging.
I would like you to define "crashed" anyways. Did you not get a display? Did you see an actual kernel log on the screen, or could you just not log in? Or could you just not press ctrl-alt-del? Just an FYI, the day I got the server I revemoved the accout you would use to access it. This was done for a very specific reason. I don't want people on my server. For one, I'm running FreeBSD 5.1, which you guys don't technically support. I don't trust anyone on my system but me. It's highly modified, and it works fine the way it is.
As for the pings and traceroutes you sent, OH MY GOD. That IP was never the problem. In fact, that IP is the only IP that worked!!! If you had read the support page, you would have seen that the OTHER subnet was the problem. Just so you know, 66.36.228.35 is not in the 66.36.251.* range. One of the three non-working IP's on my server is 66.36.251.77. If that will help you do your troubleshooting any more accurately.
Now, can you please:
a) stay off my server
b) answer the questions i posed on the very first note i put on this ticket
If you can't do either of these things, please give this ticket to someone who can.
This is completely and utterly unacceptable.
---
The end result is that they finally started rerouting that subnet. Oi. So much for that letter I sent to corporate a week ago talking about how great superb is. Ken Nunes is an ass.

Let's see, to sum up last night...
I almost ran over the CEO of the company I work for, or so he claims. But then he said he was just fucking with me. Eh, well, I really didn't realize he was the CEO when I was speeding through the parking garage. Our parking garage sucks. The corners are pretty tight, so you have to take them at just the right angles. After being there for 9 months, I've gotten it down to a science, so I can take them at incredibly high speeds and listen to my tires squeal. Because of the shift I work, I don't really run any danger of running anyone over. He was getting out of his car when I pulled in, so I really didn't run him over, I probably just scared him with the squealing.
I worked some more on some php/db code (unrelated to this site). Eventually this site will be finished, and I can start working on codersluts.net, which is an IRC pictures/quotes site I used to run on perlpimp. It was mainly specific to UnderNet, although there were a few EFNet people on it, as well as pics of my kid, husband, house, etc.
I got more fan mail! Yay! I still can't believe so many people see this site. That by itself weirded me out enough, but now I'm getting fan mail? Geek girls aren't that rare, are they? All I really do is talk about work, code, and other random life stuff. Oh well. Obsess if you will, but please don't send me dead animals as a sacrifice. Please see the about page for acceptable tokens of worship, etc.
I caught up on all the freebsd.org mailing lists I'm subscribed to. advocacy@ is getting more mail than usual. Most of it's just BS, but I guess that applies to most of the mailing lists. I get tired of people saying "This sucks! Someone fix it!" without offering to put any work into it themselves. That's just as annoying as people that ask dumbass questions like "How do I boot to single user mode?" without bothering to RTFM. You really can't abuse google, you know.
I read about all that Verisign crap that is going on, and it just seems to further prove my claims that the Internet sucks. Someone fix it!
Rebooted 3 servers. Sometimes I wish there was more to do at night, but then I guess I wouldn't have any time to code/IRC/email. I just wish I could feel like I'm being a little more constructive inside the work environment. I asked Eric to pass along any code work they needed done, because I'm dying for a project. Anything, please? I may be in a better position than I was in my last job, but they still aren't using me for even 5% of my potential. I'm going to feel totally useless around there until they start giving me stuff to do. I really dislike hardware, so coding is definitely preferable. Really though, anything. sigh.
Read my root email from perlpimp and realized it's having serious hardware problems. NMI errors. Methinks a harddrive is about to die. I googled the error and didn't come up with much. Everything I've seen said it was either an overheating problem (entirely possible, all my computers have overheating problems), a memory problem (not a huge deal), or one of the HD's are dying. The HD's seem to be the most likely culprit, in which case I am just going to roll over and die. I don't want to lose my anime and porn. I don't have anywhere to back them up to, either. There's 4 HD's, the largest of which is 120GB (about 300GB total). This powerbook does have a DVD writer, but I haven't the faintest clue how to use it. I tried popping a DVD in, but it spit it right back out. I read that I have to use DVD-R instead of DVD+R, like I know what the difference between those are. Pfft.
Anyways, everything is mostly OK in sektieland. The fit of depression is over, I'm feeling codealicious, and I'm ready to jump back into working on gooberssh. The remote key editor probably isn't going to be implimented into the next version because there's already so many major changes in this one. I wish I could find a decent GTK/GLib book that covered 2.x. The only one I could find was an O'Reilly book that isn't even listed on their site. From everything I've read, they were going to publish it, but then they said they weren't, and now they are just putting it off. Amazon is selling it, though, with a estimated shipping time of 4 weeks. Think someone should clue them in?

I finally got around to buying a new access point. It's a DLink AirPlus Extreme 802.11g, or something like that. I hate DLink, but it was a good price and I knew it would work with my Aiport card. I'm getting pretty good speeds from it so far, too.
Also, I updated the site (in case you are blind). The buttons are now non-retarded, and the About link has misc facts about me. I felt kinda odd with all these people viewing the page that had never even met me. Do you have any idea how many people search for 'sektie pics' on google? It's so creepy. The Internet is a scary place. If you're going to stalk me, I do request that you stop sending me dead animals. Instead I prefer gifts such as gift certificates to Barnes & Nobles, Best Buy, CompUSA, and Victoria's Secret. Thanks!

How terribly uneventful. I started my birthday at work, I ended it at work. In between work, I slept, coded, and ate a piece of cheesy bread from pizza hut. My stomache was too upset to do much more than that. Chad got me flowers and came home from work half an hour early, which was sweet. I didn't really expect him to. He usually doesn't think of things like that (flowers and such). Nathan gave me a hug and told me happy birthday. He's so adorable. I rented a few DVD's to take to work with me, and that's it.
I'm not sure what I was expecting. Nothing, I guess. I didn't really want my birthday to happen because it's supposed to be something you celibrate, and I just didn't have the time nor inclination this year. Is that what it means to grow old? Birthdays become just another day, but they feel like they are supposed to be more, which makes them all that much more desolate? You new people that started reading and don't know me - I'm not actually 18. I'm a bit older than that, though not by too terribly much.
I think I'm just getting burnt out. When all I do is work, sleep, and code, life gets boring pretty quick. I want to travel. I need to get out and do something. There's no time, though. Too much work, too many reponsibilities. Bloody hell. People think my life is so freaking perfect because Chad and I make more than a decent salary at both of our jobs. Just because I'm young and I have money doesn't mean I don't have the obligations that suck it all away. Medical bills, Nathan, saving up to buy a house, rent...it doesn't leave as much as you'd think.
What I wouldn't do for a vacation. Something away from the computers, away from the people I see and/or talk to every day. Some place where I can lay back, get drunk, acknowledge that our world does in fact have a sun, and not think once about the new c algorithms book I'm reading, or the servers being down, or bandwidth charges, or email. Wow, I would really love to forget all about email. And I need one soooo bad. Seriously, I have started having dreams about gtk coding. When I'm in that place between being asleep and awake, I start to freak out thinking that I am not going to be allowed to open my eyes unless I figure out the answer to some unknown problem that has something to do with code.

but at least I accomplished something. New screenshots of gooberssh are up! v1.0 was released, but I didn't like it. It didn't do all that I wanted it to do. v2.0 almost has the GUI completed. A lot of my non-GUI related code in v1.0 will be reworked a little and stuck in v2.0. I added in quite a bit of functionality as far as customizing things go.
Right now I just really want to go home and go to sleep. One more hour! I'm not normally supposed to work today, but Sam needed to switch days with me, and I had no reason to say no. He's going to work weds night for me, so I'll have a long weekend. yay!
I came in to work tonight, and my fuqn sudo access had been disabled on the server we use to auth with all the other servers. wtf? I had to wake up John to get him to fix one of the sun boxes since I didn't have access, than I had to go up to security to get them to readd me. I was told that Eric had been messing around on that server trimming down access. sigh.

Ugh, last night was a pain. I'm not going to name names, mainly because I know a lot of people from work read this site, but let's just say that someone found out a server was hacked and did absolutely freaking nothing about it. So I get to work, I see it, I track everything down, I logged all that I found extensively, and then I page security on-call...and page them again...and no one ever called back. In short, I ended up doing their job, and I might potentially get in trouble because of it. I had to disable a few user accounts and make a few minor changes to the server. Unfortunately I can't upgrade the server to fix the vurnerable service because that would definitely be overstepping my bounds. Sigh. I wish they'd just give me a place to stand here. I hate seeing all these things being done in stupid and annoying ways and not being able to fix any of it.
Regardless, I tracked down the hacker kid "_Bear" on efnet. Fuqn scriptkids. Oh well. His psybnc went byebye, as did his access. neener neener.
If I had a penis, I'd totally slap all the scriptkids in the world on the forehead with it.
