While updating the configs on a bunch of our Cascade Shark appliances I had to do it via SSH (yay for someone stuffing the RADIUS configurations!)

sed’s neat, but of course anything with regex can make you angry. Once I’d tested it a bunch of different ways I went with this. The cat’s are for my own checking – I copy and paste the terminal into a big “log of my brainfarts” when doing stuff at 5am.

I think this covers most things… not in order. I have to say that Incident and Problem Manager would have been the best - making sure what gets broken is fixed again - were I not hobnailed by a mad management team. 🙁

• Brochure Delivery
• Service Station Attendant
• Pizza Shop (Maker/Manager x2 - Eagle Boys and Pizza Capers)
• Pizza Hut call centre

• Wireless/3g Internet Customer Care
• Graphic Design / IT Whipping Boy / Web Manager / Secretary - all in one of course.
• Computer Retail Screwdriver Monkey
• Database Mangler
• Web Coding
• Web Server Manager
• Network Operations Centre script-monkey
• Computer Service Centre agent
• ICT Incident and Problem Manager
• Small Business IT Whipping Boy

• Paging and Directory Services Call Centre

… especially when you don’t have to walk past the cabinet offering Canon 50D bodies for $399.

My long suffering 350D has given me some hilariously reliable service and has some great bumps and scratches on it, but seeing that price today really sold me on upgrading it. I did actually walk away, going away for exactly two and a half hours before rushing back to secure a shiny new-ish toy.

My (new) precious… marks around the flash are just finger-dust.

Here’s the list:

• Mareeba
• Murgon
• Culburra Beach
• Yerongpilly
• Carina
• Springwood
• Burleigh Waters
• Burleigh Heads
• Mt Gravatt
• Clayfield

Not a huge list, but a list nonetheless 😀

I was driving to the Werribee Open Plains Zoo and I saw this sign. It was at the entrance to a farm, and the road looked fairly long, so .. yeah. Legit I suppose.

A little further down the road, there was this. That’s definitely not a 30k road, unless you do a few laps!

Now that’s just silly. I blame the fact that I was lost and slightly high on excitement from surviving shopping in Werribee (is it as stabby as it seems?) but this definitely isn’t 10 km long.

It seems when I’m working too quickly and swapping between Chrome and vim I’ve hit Cmd+R and done something horrible. I get a “E388: couldn’t find definition” error when trying to use the (mainly) left arrow key to move around.

A quick fix was found on a twitter post about the issue, and all you need to do is type:

Then hit enter. It’ll probably prompt you to hit enter again after a bit of screen-flashy.

Blah blah journal incoming.

So I figured that driving to the pool was a silly idea, it’s only about 7km according to Google maps! Then again, there’s the whole “I haven’t ridden my bike since before I was sick” thing. Suffice to say, braving Old Cleveland road at 4pm wasn’t the most fun idea… especially with the amount of storm debris that was laying around. It seems that most of that 7km is uphill on the way to the pool, ugh.

I was attempting to reconfigure one of our Shark devices this morning and couldn’t use the web interface - RADIUS authentication had been half-configured, setting it to lock things down but with no way to allow me to reconfigure things (even with the admin account) After a little swearing I realised I could SSH into the Shark and reconfigure it that way.

It’s a fairly standard Fedora 10 build, with the Pilot software installed in /opt/local/pilot
