MD5 collision vulnerability breaks SSL wide open →
Today I will order ATI brand graphics cards (super cheap ones, as usual) to hopefully fix some slowness, and ideally find a UPS (battery backup) for my rack at home.. and potentially one for the office as well. (since my company wont buy one).
Performance breakthrough! thumbnail serves are WAY WAY down… omg such a silly bug.
sysadmin.hash package.. its gotta go..
Now I’ve gotta think about how a squid cache would fit into the Ochan architecture… and how its really the most important tool evar.
I cant seem to figure out why response headers for caching aren’t having an effect on the images pushed out of Ochan. Locally, things seem to work.. but from the cloud.. looks like my browser is redrawing the image EVERY time. grr.. makes it feel so much slower.

Das Keyboard
First off, tumblr, thank you for making the interface keyboard interactive.. I hate using my mouse. Other than than, I’m flying on my new Das Keyboard Ultimate.
I’d love it if they made an ergonomic version of it, but, so far so good. It is really comfortable to type with, has a little usb hub built into it, and while it doesn’t have the wrist wrest like my normal fall-to...
Welp, I forgot to disable my alarm clock.. so.. it’s christmas morning! Merry Christmas!
heading to bed (tiny bed) @ my parents place.
Merry Christmas Eve!
Slowest. Workday. Ever.
girlindc:
A part of me dies each time I look at the clock and see just how little time has passed. Gah.
agreed.. not only did I get into work later than usual..but, i’ve accomplished my prime directive for the day.. equalling zero interest in persuing anything else. blargh
The DIRECTOR of a freaking government agency is sending out email asking whether he can clean up accounts in Active Directory (LDAP).. wow.. insane.

The End.
TinyMCE (what tumblr uses) disables spellcheck by default (for some reason)..
http://wiki.moxiecode.com/index.php/TinyMCE:Configuration/gecko_spellcheck
the issue might be that they want users to use the built-in spellchecker.. but, definitely the problem is the dictionary tinymce uses is probably not the dictionary you’ve built up in your FireFox.
Hard sell, though;...

so far, 82 unique visitors.. hells yeah.. handling the load quite nicely… image generation is totally flatlined at 300ms average.
Load Testing tonight
So, A) monitoring solution in place & B) allowing hoards of 4channers to hit ochan tonight.
So far, decent reception besides my horrible layout/design skills.
Join the fun!

Already have 40 unique users and staying under 30% cpu hit and a load average less than .7.. which is super nice. (or atleast, I feel that it is…. maybe i’m wrong and its...
today WILL go better… i’m going to be negative on negativity today..
Fake transactions are FAKE.. show me the design doc that actually describes the rhyme/reason behind all that REQUIRES_NEW, SUPPORTS, NESTED, and MANDATORY shit.. and I’ll show you that its not the services themselves that should be transactionally aware, but, the CLIENTS that consume them.
First sign that you’ve failed to write an enterprise application: OpenSessionInViewFilter.. or any sort of ‘attached’ objects going out of your services and into your controller/view technology.
I’ve just abandoned all hope that we’ll be able to save the project.

Oh, and had to release Ochan 0.1.3 really quickly to fix the ‘empty category’ and ‘empty thread’ bugs..
Ochan deployed onto the amazon cloud:
http://ec2-75-101-230-110.compute-1.amazonaws.com
i’m not gonna change the domain name .. this isn’t permanent.. just step 1.
Created an EC2 instance and had a gentoo instance deployed on the cloud in 10minutes…
hells freaking yeah..
Ops lead for hire; You’ll work directly under me, and consume my salary… since my company wont realize they need someone to do ops.
eventually you’ll meld with me and we’ll become one super developer/tester/operations nightmare upon the scene… we’ll rockout hardcore like mutant quantum physicists.
good night!

I keep running into people that have 0 svn/scm skills. ZERO
Hilarious
Manager A: Dave Seymore also asked to be taken out of scrum and put in charge of Operations - I think he's serious. I'm reluctant to do that though because he's such an asset to the development team, and I don't know what he'd do in the Operations arena as far as shaking the proverbial apple tree.
Manager A's Manager: Jesus christ, no. Of course he can't. Think about it.

Sunday AM = Oracle Database fail…
hopefully we KNOW what has happened.. not just reset and hope it doesn’t happen again.
blargh. Can I not be involved in this shit?
Feels like I’m hitting wall after wall of ‘attempting to get shit done’.. that all seems self induced by:
A) legacy bullshit & the perpetual ‘wtf’
B) aspirations that aren’t my own, or ones I agree with
C) free time
When I was at ‘company CS’ we had more people in one larger space than we have in...

horrible to have your entity COPIED into different components of your stack just to allow extension..
can an entity definition be a framework?
