Recently one of our SQL clusters decided it was a good idea to not backup databases anymore. So today my boss told me to get something to bandaid the situation until we can fix the situation (which will likely be an upgrade/reinstall).

I’ll often hear about some crazy law that’s on the books like it being illegal to cross the Minnesota border with a duck on ones head. One thing though you never see with any of these postings is references to those laws.

During my initial research, the only thing I could find was code that couldn’t be customized through configuration files so it [...]
Last time around, Route Kill was pretty simple, just misdirect a route. This time, I added a little more code flexibility, some minor network monitoring and a maliciousness not seen before. This time, it kills the route (deletes the route from the table), packets aren’t even misdirected, they go nowhere!
To get things ready for yourself, [...]
While reading the comments on the WCTrib site people have made on the recent McDonald’s incident, I’m quite alarmed how racy the issue has become. A fact that saddens me, as talk like that only leads to more hate and loathing. However in the slew of comments discussing ethnics of the various people involved, one [...]
