You know what’s awesome? Corporate DNS servers that cache results from other Corporate DNS servers. You know how great it is sitting around waiting for a DNS server to expire some cached data when you don’t have administrative access to clear the cache? IT IS AWESOME. Do you know what time it is? Really? Should I call the emergency pager for IT? “Yes, no, I just need you to clear the cache. Yeah, I know it is 3am. Please?”

What else have I been up to? Besides being sarcastic. Alleycat Acres is awesome-town. Shmoocon 2010 network/labs planning is in full swing, albeit a little premature, we’ll see what’s up when we hit the ground on the 4th. But really, how much could I do in the day since my last post (lets just ignore the one the middle, call it a mulligan).The cluster I was building in IRL on EC2 got put on hold to build a development cluster on EC2 near SJC. I’ve got to get that done by start of business on Tuesday. Er. Today. Morning. Sunrise.

Oh look, DNS is working again.
