The stinking on-call pager served as my alarm clock at about 9:15 this morning. A database backup bit the big one overnight, and required a little cleaning up. My VPN access still didn’t work, and I suspected I needed a PIN reset.
With efficiency usually unheard of from our help desk, my PIN was [...]

The only thing worse than the stinking on-call pager is having the stinking on-call pager and no VPN access. Periodically, our security humps see fit to delete VPN accounts, and it looks like I’ve been ensnared in the latest sweep.

Chris Yale, that is. I just ordered his new CD Well Enough Alone. I’d heard and dug his music on Dave’s podcast. I also met him at Dave’s Birthday Bash last summer.
I could have downloaded the album from DigStation and had it immediately, but I prefer to order direct from the artist if [...]
