If this job doesn't kill me, I might live till I'm old - follow up...

        It’s been a week since the problem. I’m back on standby tomorrow morning from 09:00am.



        I’ve delved into the logs from the system and could not find a single errant instruction that could cause the problem we experienced last week. The system just decided to kill itself, it seems. This causes me more problems. Now I need to pinch out time from such a tight schedule to fault find the whole environment. Everyone is running off with the major Treasury application installation that’s on the 4th of March. Our manager is busy with the move of our data center from one provider to another and we are moving hardware from one storage array to another.


        Problems will abound. There just isn’t time to look at everything. Nothing is tested. But, management is happy. They just need someone else to point the finger at.

Till a few minutes ago when I wanted to open some red wine. I buy wine from a merchant and have developed a taste for certain makers wines. An appreciation of the fine art that is wine making and the incredible bliss of paring good wine, with good food and great conversation. I wa

Calitzdorp - Smoking Pipe

Today I had some time on my hands, and decided to check in on this website. I've bought a Afrika wood pipe from EbenHarts in 2008 and still smoke it. It's a heavy pipe. Solid in the hand. Not one you want to clamp down on though. Unless you like spending time in the dentist chair. It's with great joy and a little grump (hate the exchange rate) that I looked over the pipes on the site again. There are some seriously beautiful pipes here. Some, in fact, I don't think you'd want to smoke. I hope to soon see sold on all these pipes and a new batch of remarkable creations to sit and drool over. Sterkte met die pyp maak en ek hoop:  'hulle verkoop so lekker, want hulle rook so lekker.' cheap : 'via Blog this'

10 Ways To Hack Into Your Happy Brain Chemicals

10 Ways To Hack Into Your Happy Brain Chemicals Life gets busy. 2016 for us in South Africa is going to be tough. Emotional black mail and black mail in general is a socially acceptable way to deny some their constitutional rights. So take a read above and stick it to all those office clones that make your day hell. All those wannabes on the roads that can't drive to safe their lives (it's been one of those days). So, to quote Bobby McFarren: "Don't worry. Be Happy."
