To the script kiddie fuckwit who just spent the last hour and a half DOSing us from a pwned Windoze botnet and made me spend my whole fucking evening standing in a freezing cold colocation facility while I blocked his IPs and coaxed our servers back to life:

DO NOT FUCK WITH ME. I AM SO NOT IN THE MOOD.

That is all.

(Looks like I'm going to be on the phone to an ISP tomorrow morning...)

I do not think kespernorth has unlocked his full daddy powers. However, when he does-WHEN HE DOES-there will be much fearing.

Bastards.

On the other hand... what possible reason could you have to have to actually physically go to your colo facility? You don't have remote console/reboot? A few weeks ago you revealed that you don't make backups. Next you'll be telling me you don't have UPSs.

[kespernorth.livejournal.com]

Because I happened to be physically closer to the colo than either home or work -- having just left it when I got the page, because I was - ahem - swapping backup tapes.

[placain.livejournal.com]

Ah, so you've started doing backups. Good.

Of course, I could say something like "swapping tapes? that's what tape libraries are for!" but I won't.

Not that you don't have to swap tapes in tape libraries. Actually, it just makes it on a grander scale. One of my fondest memories of Bristol-Myers Squibb is standing inside a Timberwolf tape library (holds 900 DLT tapes and 10 heads), replacing about 200 tapes with fresh empties. The door shut behind me, and somehow the safety interlock FAILED, and the robot arm swung around to take inventory and smacked me in the ribs. I started laughing so hard it hit me three more times before I finally opened the door to stop it.

Kick his ass, Seabass.
