http://chris.sartoris.org Wed, 03 Dec 2008 15:00:05 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Work is really starting to get to me again.  It happens periodically...  A bunch of stuff breaks at once, nobody else can fix it, and it all winds up in my lap.  Suddenly I find myself without enough hours in the day to get everything done. I've got our in-house Exchange ... http://chris.sartoris.org/2008/12/03/intractable/ Had a truly wretched day yesterday.  My Exchange migration has gone to hell.  We've got corrupt data in our Public Folders store, it's been there for years.  We've also got an assortment of errors in Active Directory from when our Domain Controller up and died one weekend.  And there's some ... http://chris.sartoris.org/2008/12/03/death-toll/ I took a bit of a break from the WoW grind last night...  I'm very nearly 78, and Terri is still 76, so I didn't want to get too far ahead of her.  Plus all that focus on questing and leveling and progression hasn't left me with a whole lot ... http://chris.sartoris.org/2008/12/02/intermission/ I managed to clear my schedule for today and tomorrow, slated myself to work on our Exchange server in-house, and kicked everyone out of Outlook/Exchange for the day.  So I've really been pretty productive today... I reloaded the new Exchange server, got all the software installed and configured, started migrating data...  ... http://chris.sartoris.org/2008/12/01/boredom/ I spent most of the weekend playing WoW.  I've gotten my Warlock up to 77 now, and trained the Cold Weather Flying skill, so I can now fly in Northrend.  It's amazing how quickly that changes the way you look at the world around you. When you're stuck to the ground ... http://chris.sartoris.org/2008/12/01/mounted/ Tomorrow is Monday... Normally I don't like Sundays much.  I wind up in a state of near-mourning because the weekend will soon be over, and I'll be back at work once again.  And that's never a good thing.  But it isn't nearly so bad this week... The four-day weekend was certainly long ... http://chris.sartoris.org/2008/11/30/monday-6/ Yesterday was Black Friday, and as usual there were incredible deals to be had all over the place.  Rampant consumerism at its best.  And once again people died in the rush to get a great deal. It might be one thing if it was just one or two isolated events one ... http://chris.sartoris.org/2008/11/29/to-die-for/ So, yesterday was Thanksgiving.  Terri got the day off on account of her slaving over a hot stove every other day of the year, so I did the cooking.  Everything turned out surprisingly well.  Not that I really thought I'd ruin everything...  I can cook fairly well usually...  But a ... http://chris.sartoris.org/2008/11/28/excess/ http://chris.sartoris.org/2008/11/27/happy-thanksgiving-3/ Monday was my Birthday, and Terri got me Left 4 Dead.  I didn't have a chance to play it Monday night because we were running through the Wrathgate stuff...  So last night I fired it up for the first time. Left 4 Dead, if you aren't aware, is the new zombie ... http://chris.sartoris.org/2008/11/26/left-4-dead/
