the moral compass

My experience of managing the world's largest optical network management
system (on HP-UX) is that where downtime is not an option, there are
superb disaster recovery solutions in place, including geographic
redundancy, so it's easy to take down one machine from the cluster for,
say, kernel parameter changes.

I only ever worked extraordinary hours when (a) I was monitoring while
the node monkeys did work on the transmission kit (b) when there was an
upgrade went on longer than anticipated due to the NM software being
untested and, basically, shit.

Not at all it's an attempt at humour. You'll note I changed the posting
email address to get past the killfile anyway.

I couldn't give a **** whether you killfile me or not, but if I want to
be a little abusive in your direction it's no fun if you're not reading
it.
