After much procrastinating, I am finally going to buy a cool t-shirt I
have seen on the web. Every other time, I have found a way out of
it. Now, I have found the one t-shirt that I must buy. Here it is
for your viewing pleasure:

I will be buying this shirt! It is available at Busted Tees. I will, of course, be abusing the bandwidth at the office.

Today was one of those days that started out quite promising. I
had a little bit of a chore to do at work--rebuild a server. The
work should have taken me the whole day, but it looks like I will be
working on it tomorrow.
I headed down to our machine room, with the media in hand I needed to
install the operating system. All of this was going well, except
when I realized there was a networking configuration that needed to be
fixed. Well, I could reach no one at the office, so I headed back
to my office. Of course, it was close to lunch. I found out
that the person I needed to talk to was out to lunch. I
waited an hour until he came back, and then I headed back down to the
machine room to finish the install.
I decide to just start it over, and all goes well. I pop in the
new configuration, and the server refuses to see anything. All
looks well, and I try a few other things. Frustrated, I head back
to my office. I ask my colleague who installed this server before
to take a look at this with me, as I needed to run to an afternoon
meeting. I told him what happened, and he remembered that there
is yet another networking component that needs to be addressed.
Off to my meeting I went, with the realization that I will have to
finish this work tomorrow.
Everything is set for tomorrow, so this should go much smoother than it did today.
Lessons learned: if I had known all of this, I would have been done
with this today. I might have had some minor items to update
tomorrow. This is what happens when one gets stuck behind one
project for much too long--if I was not tethered to email, I would have
been available when the initial installation was done and known most of
this information. Finally, I love to have all of my ducks in a
row when working on a project, and sometimes working in a large group
makes that preparation difficult.
