I can see clearly now...

...the weekend's gone! So the weekend's over, and I'm back at work. What a weekend it was, It went past me at the speed of light, and all that remains of it is the distinct feeling that something happened...and that's about it.

Hopefully this week ain't gonna be that bad or busy, so I can try to get to work on my code. That would, of course be handy to get finished, as soon as possible...

Hope you guys had a better weekend, and that your week is amazing. Now I'm gonna get some pain killers, a jug of coffee and get to work...

Sad Day

So Here I am…wondering what to do with my blog. I’m finding it hard to keep it alive, and I honestly don’t know how to keep it going…

I’m considering killing it, as I don’t think I can keep up the blog all by myself (and besides no-one wants to read useless blabbering and I am the king of useless)

Life Sucks

We've all Had 'em. The bad days just don't are that nice.

We all need to take a breath, stand back and smile, because then it seems to go better.

Today I found out that our most important PC (luckily not one of my LInux Servers) Went Dead, and that we didn't have enough time to get it sorted for the weekend. Now the analogue system is up and running, and we'll have to use it this weekend.

So, in standing back, and looking at the day, this would make anyone's day, I hope you guys enjoy it...




So I watched scrubs tonight, and a part of a song from that JD and Turk Sang in an episode called "My Musical". Hope you enjoy it as much as I do...



I'm going to sit down, have some fun, and chill. Tomorrow I'm off, so I am going to sleep in, and only get up when I want to...let's see how that turns out for me...


(and now I'll stop rambling and talking nonsense, because I don't think I'm making any sense)

Help Needed

This is as much a desperate cry for help as well as a invitation to all reader to participate.

I need someone to help with the design of the logo for the blog. If anyone is interested in helping, please contact me *winks @ Bastard Coder From Hell*

Still Working

So I'm at home, after the day, and guess what...I'm still working...What a suprise!

 

Still busy with the Windows Server 2003 machine, also, What a suprise...?!

 

I really need to get the other branches on Linux Servers, so that I don't need to spend the whole day working on ONE service on the server, but half a day, on the WHOLE server and all services.

 

Anyway, Wish me luck, I need to get on this, and get it finished tonight...

Busy

So I got here, and they Upgraded their Servers...Or should I say downgraded.

Upon coming here, I found no more Windows Server 2000 Machines, but rather A Windows Server 2003 Machine. This changed everything, as Terminal Services didn't work, and I had to revert to VNC...

Also Apache Didn't want to start, so I have to use something else...this is really turning my day upside down quite a bit...

Let's hope I can get out of here within the hour, as that would really make my day...

And it was morning...

So yesterday my working rained out. Now I have this huge backlog that I'll probably have to do tonight. What fun. Luckily in all this I got a good night's rest, and I feel much up to work today.

On Today's Menu - Visit another Satellite branch, and setup a database, web server and such forth on their system. This might actually be a challenge, as they still run MicroRubbish Windows Server 2000...

I made the decision that there would be NO IIS on the machines, and that I'd rather install Apache, and MySQL. This is made very easy by some clever guy that distributes the WebServ Package. Man - You have GOT to love him. Check it out Here.

I also need to set up remote access, so that I am able to log into the systems from my office, and that it's not neccesary to drive all the way there when there's a problem. So setting up encrypted RDP might be a little bit of a challenge on it's own, or not - I'll have to wait and see when I get there.

Anyway, I'm off to see the wizard, yup - that wonderful wizard of oz...Oh who am I kidding, Microsoft, Wizard? Yeah, Right!

I'm Back

And what a day it's been...Server's up, printer's up, and the network is working. It wouldn't have been necessary for me to go out to the site, of the silly "admin" didn't plug the ADSL modem into the wrong jack...jackass :P

Anyways, now it's time to get to the rest of the things for today...and I only have an hour left. I see some overtime in the making...sadly...

And it's morning again...

Luckily This time I got enough sleep in to at least carry me up to lunch time, and then I'll take a recharge voucher from anyone that cares enough to give one :P

Today, as mentioned previously, I need to go fix a server, set up a few printers on a network, and make sure that everyone is happy. If I can accomplish that, all should be right with the world...

I'll have to check and see how things goes today, but I'm hoping to take my lunch hour to work on the blog again, but I'm afraid that it might not even be as easy, but I'll have to wait and see what happens.

Anyway, Good Day to all of ya, hope it's a great one!!!

Good Night...

For those of you who actually DO care, you'll see that once again that blog's look has changed. I don't yet know wether I'm going to keep it this way or not, but that's for another time to worry.

Right now I want to say good night, sleep tight and all that jazz. I'm off for the night. I'm paced and need my sleep. tomorrow is once again going to be a long day...

What a Day...

Time to go home...and Dare I say it? Yes I dare - ABOUT TIME TOO.
This day has been way to long, and I couldn't care less about what was happning now. All that I want to do is go home, take a bath and hit the sheets.

As predicted by me, this week is going to have way too little days to do all that needs doing.

Tomorrow it's off to find the wizard, save a server and setup some printers...the problem is - after that I need to come back to the office, for some REAL work...which just sucks..

Anyways, I'll ramble a bit more later (I hope) otherwise...well, whenever you recieve the updates again...

Need Sleep

So I sat up until 1h00 this morning, playing around with the blog. Not that this was a waste of time, but it did cause me to have very little sleep before work this morning. Luckily I can't be angry at anyone but myself for this.

But, now I'm sitting here, almost asleep at work, and fighting off the tiredness. I think I'll take a little nap when getting home...

To top things off our DSL line as become unstable this morning, for no apparent reason. I'll give it a bit of time and see how it turns out, but if it doesn’t improve I'll have to chow out either the ISP or the phone company, none of which I’m ever in the mood of dealing with.

Anyway, let me be off to work again, and try not to fall asleep on the job...

A Few Hiccups

So upon deciding to try and keep the blog a bit more updated, I decided to change the look & feel. There has been quite a few Hiccups along the way, which is causing a lot of frustration. Please bear with me on this as I try to figure it out, and if anyone reading this has skills at skinning/designing of blogger themes, and is willing to help with the hiccups, please drop me an E-Mail to hellish.operator[at]gmail.com.

Thanks in Advance.

'New Year's Resolution'

Busy & Bored

So it’s been a long time since there was any new content on this blog, and I do regret it…I’m hoping to fix this. I’m not making promises, but let’s try to make it a sort of ‘New Year’s Resolution’.
Let’s see what happens in 2009. I’ll try to update the blog more frequently, but I want to change the whole theme & idea of the blog. I want it to be a more general blog, basically because I don’t think I’ll have as much Bastard Content as I would like to…

Don’t get me wrong, I’ll put all the content that I can find on here…

Hope it gets better!
