My Week in Review
Things I learned this week:
- It is possible to work 80 hours in a week and still have a LOT of work to do.
- Bandwidth is not cheap.
- Cheap bandwidth is not good.
- Colocation Data Centers are not cheap.
- Cheap Colocation Data Centers are darn scary.
- You can not buy Kevlar at The Army Navy Store, to visit cheap colocations.
- Driving around for eight hours listening to sales pitches is exhausting.
- Impossible deadlines can be met.
- It feels good to meet impossible deadlines.
- Ordering pizza online rules. Delivery is pretty darn awesome too.
Yes, I learned a lot this week and I loved it. I’m tired, I have this headache on the right side of my forehead that won’t go away and my house looks like a pigsty, but I really had a great week and I feel like I gained a years worth of knowledge.
Things have been so crazy at work lately. We’re moving our servers from one colocation facility to another - and if that wasn’t stressful enough, we’re also moving all of our sites from one network, to another, more robust one. Each one of the tasks is difficult, on a good day, with no pressure and no bumps…but to do both, over the course of two weeks…wow. I might have to develop a crack addiction to make it through.
At any rate, I felt real bad about not posting all week and thought I should provide my ‘excuse’ for the masses. I’ll try my best to avoid long stretches of silence in the future…even if it kills me!
