alarm connected to a shock collar.
Proven ineffective, under most circumstances, electrical current is mostly therapeutic (to me), and exceeding the tolerance levels needed to break out of that zone would trigger nervous disconnects (especially if applied around the neck like a collar). Though I suppose I could test again (only summary results can be recalled, testing occurred more than 1 year ago so details are not kept internally).
Needless to say, I hope never to truly need a defibrillator.

That's OK, I'm innovative. What about a collar with articulatable spikes?
-

Might work, but penetration would likely induce attack defense reflexing, which might not be the best solution either. Also, the wounds would be somewhat difficult to explain...
Shut up Engine!

After the third filling in the same tooth and it still hurts :/ I get a lot of cavities.

Gotcha. I imagine implants aren't on the table.

Just saw the movie Keanu. Which is an R rated movie about a cute kitten. And drugs. Murder. Tits. Sex.
There were children present in the theater.
Online and kiosk ticket purchasing has removed the need for parents to get the stink eye for taking their kids to wholly inappropriate movies.

Status: Renewing all the certs!
Also, terminating the one-page host and moving the static files to my Windows box. Because why pay for two machines that are doing virtually nothing when one will do?
Addendum: Wow, DNS propagation takes forever sometimes...

Eh. I don't think anyone cares that status.tsaukpaetra.com appears offline for a while. Just makes it difficult to test that my IIS bindings are correct is all... (I made do with an entry in
hosts
for now. Also, I think my router might be ignoring ttl? who knows...)
-

Hmm, yes. Particularly annoying is that Windows is particularly keen on hanging onto DNS records for rather a long time, and each time you look seems to renew the lifespan…

It's a consumer POS? (Most likely is.) Then maybe.

Yes, but flashed to DD-WRT for kicks and giggles. I probably need to update the firmware on it some day...
-
@Tsaukpaetra Zomg, I think I made a mistake. Apparently creating an image from a disk snapshot and then using said disk locks the snapshot, which basically causes double-billing?
I'm not sure if there's a way to separate the two either, so I guess I'm lucky I made the disk as small as reasonably possible for a Windows Server...

Status: Enjoying the tears of Cruz, his supporters, and the Never Trumpers. Deeeeeeee-licious. Not that I'm saying that Trump is the Second Coming of Our Lord and Savior, mind - but the Republican establishment has needed its balls kicked repeatedly and fiercely for several decades now, and Trump has been delivering.
-
Status: Well, I got the certs for one web server updated. That leaves the VPN and another web server left... Woot?

@lolwhat for all the trump hate, he seems to be a lesser evil than Cruz. Also more hateable which will probably help the Democrats

Fuck utility companies. Fuck them right in their starholes.
How is it possible for a company to be THIS incompetent? They must be doing it on purpose, otherwise the stupidity would have imploded years ago

STATUS befuddled
I use to think that the american's having "in god we trust" was silly but this is just not on.

@DogsB I'm more concerned by the fact that the motto on the coat of arms is in, of all the possible languages, French!

Can we blame the Normans for that?
-
What have the Normans ever done for us?
-
@CarrieVS Yes.
-
@CarrieVS You can, but the true culprits are Richard the Lionheart and Henry V:
-
@RaceProUK said in The Official Status Thread:

I always thought he was a Norman. At any rate considered himself French rather than English. Hated England, refused to learn the language, claimed he'd sell London if he could.
and Henry V
OK, I'll give you that.

All this talk of the British monarchy pisses me off that Netflix:
- Stopped streaming Monarchy
- Didn't finish off the series. How can the end on a cliff-hanger like Cromwell? Was there ever another British monarch? The world may never know...
-
@MathNerdCNU Spoiler alert: the current monarch's German ;)

A German monarch. French on the coat of arms. Unicorns on the pound coin. Something is very wrong with the English.

Don't worry. The flag is Genovese.

Trump will wipe the floor with either Clinton or Sanders.

Oh certainly. The reason we're on this little island is to stop us spreading our affliction around the world. It didn't work, of course, we just got good at sailing.

That reminds me of the sex scene in Zombeavers where out of nowhere he shouts out “I feel like a Power Ranger!”. That movie was fantastic in every possible way.

@loopback0 sorry, i had to wake up, search for the meme, find none i liked, search for the image, upload it to imgur, curse that i uploaded it as image and not for meme, got to meme generator, reupload it, memify it, copy the result, paste it into slack, then navigate to this thread, press reply, paste the image, tag it with status, and submit..... that takes time dude.

Another in the long line of 2016's victims. Will this madness ever stop?

Oh, wait. He'll come back in new clothes

I think Alan Rickman played the Spock analog in Galaxy Quest, right? ... or was that the joke?

Um... Yeah. That was definitely the joke I was going for and not a randomly chosen actor who wasn't Gandalf. Keep giving me credit for being clever

When the local TRANSIT system is making constant "May the Fourth" jokes on Twitter, you know a meme is truly and entirely stone-dead.

Ugh. I don't think I'm up to work today. Fortunately, I woke up with a sore throat so I feel justified in calling in sick.

Status: I'm now monitoring almost all our project infrastructure, both the internal and external parts. :) The only bits left to sort out are two systems which seem to have their firewall configurations set to and an external system which reacts very badly to our SSH probes. Both of these, I can live with for now.
