Ten Randomly Generated Hostnames

cPanel is funny. One of our setups guys pointed this out and I had to check on my own vps.

  • approached.aqxenterprises.com
  • acoup.aqxenterprises.com
  • bewpers.aqxenterprises.com
  • cedrate.aqxenterprises.com
  • charge-a-plate.aqxenterprises.com
  • bistournage.aqxenterprises.com
  • barrulee.aqxenterprises.com
  • -blast.aqxenterprises.com
  • atweel.aqxenterprises.com
  • approached.aqxenterprises.com

Also, one of the others he found was ‘antisemitic.hostname’ – Carl said use this to fix it ;)

Shit-tastic

Today was just unbelievably dumb.

I got to work a little early so I could upgrade my workstation, which I thought would be a quickish thing, but nooo. Kubuntu had other ideas. The GUI install bombed out and borked my debconf. I rebooted and X &/or KDE were borked such that I had no GUI. So I ended up spending about 45 minutes “fixing” it and re-doing the upgrade, which finally completed successfully. Except for the fact I have no sound again. Grr.

Then there was workstuff. People’s sites overloading servers, yaddayadda. Busybusybusy.

Bart called me in late morning/early afternoon to let me know some asshole busted off the antenna on his car sometime last night – likely someone from our apt complex but possibly just a passing vandal.

Then I got home and retrieved the mail, which contained our electric bill from LBWL. Which is due tomorrow. I don’t know why we’re just now getting it since the “date printed” date on it says Nov 19, and I’m assuming it came from just across town or wherever LBWL gets them printed. The envelope also was not sealed at all. Not making me happy. I paid it online just now, hopefully that’s good enough.

Posted this on my LJ awhile ago. Usually I put this stuff on the “Quiz Results” page, but I thought I would put it here instead.

Not really all that surprising. I think I like machines more than people sometimes. Maybe because they’re a little more predictable?

Ego vs Modesty

Sometimes I wish I could hook my brain straight up to the computer so I can dump what I’m thinking into it without the ‘must type it out’ filter. My thoughts go off on tangents and in a million directions at once and trying to concentrate on one line of thought long enough to type it out is excruciating sometimes. Cut for babble-y-ness.

Site’s been moved..

Bet you didn’t even notice :) Ah, the joy of having access to lower TTL values.

I have my own VPS (virtual private server) at work now. Maybe someday I will be good enough at this crap to set up my own colo box.

Now I just gotta get my other 2 sites moved and things will be rollin..
