It's called a vacation, not a holiday...

I suspect Merc is in the same boat I am; while I am gone, nothing will happen. At best the work will simply pile up so that when you return you are colossally far behind. At worst you are called constantly while away, even being dragged home before you intended to.
Mainly it is vacation in the US. In most places it is holiday. I'm not going on holiday in Michigan.
That is not an answer to anything! I must take all PTO by the end of each year.

When I take days off I wind up spending tons of time on the phone or responding to emails because someone doesn't know how to do something and that invariably leads to some kind of emergency. Besides, there really isn't any place I want to go or anything I really feel like I should do other than go to work.
I like to go on holiday 6,000-12,000 moose from home/work where I am incommunicado.

I can cash out my PTO. It accrues until there are 200 hours, then I cash out back to 100. Nice little bonus.

But you live in the US, so it's a vacation. :cherry:Mainly it is vacation in the US. In most places it is holiday. I'm not going on holiday in Michigan.
What's that in cats? I'm a little more familiar with that than moose. :rofl:

Contrarily to what I wrote in the past, RAID0 is in fact a form of RAID, except that the "R" doesn't mean "redundant", but "risky".
Did you get burned by this?

I get to do emergency data recovery on a Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 8 40GB. I don't even have an IDE machine kicking around anywhere. Do they make a parallel IDE USB toaster?

I've found a production server, charged of displaying one of our two main web sites (which customers pay to access), that has a RAID 0 configured as its boot drive and without any redundancy (no daily/weekly backups, not even another computer setup identically in order to replace in case there's a fuck with our server). The drives in it are 3 years old and the computer has always been running 24x7.
I'm so freaking happy.

I always call it AID-0, but Coug's name works too.

That happens to be the very device I have in my hand now. The cable works great, but the power side of things is a pain. They ship with a power cable, but those are so useful they end up in use elsewhere.

Why does a lot of Yahoo's content not work correctly if you don't allow scripts from facebook.net to run? I must be missing something.

I am now a certified open water scuba diver.

Awesome. Congrats. When I was diving I had some strange combination of claustrophobia and acrophobia. Not debilitating, just not something I'd want to do for fun.

Congratulations, but why? Except for the Tennessee river, where the Hell can you dive near Chattanooga? And like most rivers near industrial cities, I don't think you should dive into it.
I can't dive since I don't float. Well, technically, I can dive, but I'll drown because I won't be able to resurface.

Wetsuits are remarkably buoyant. I bet you would need some weights even after the tank is strapped to your back.

I destroyed my phone again. Thanks to the stupid Windows activation center this time. I should create a chronicle of these events and make statistics out of it. I don't know exactly how frequently I terminate my home phone, but it must happen four or five times a year for sure.
Yes. Maybe he has plutoniumimokants or something.
Windows phones require activation? What a bunch of crap.

I meant plutonium implants.

No, I just didn't find the right number to make it restart the second number sequence. By the fifth sequence, my wires touched. I refuse to talk to their system. Everything should be done simply by pressing numbers on the phone.

Why are you at work on a national holiday?

I'll be going to work later today for just that reason.
