altivoFor a minute there I thought I was going to miss an update. LJ presented me with a page full of garbled html. I supposed it might do the same when I save this.
A 30% chance of thunderstorms tonight, twice that tomorrow. At least that's the latest. At the moment it's hot, humid, and still, as well as pretty dark outside. We heard what might have been a fox or might not out behind one of the barns, but I'm not particularly inclined to go out there with a flashlight to see. I think the sheep and horses are too big for him to eat, so he'll have to go after the neighbor's chickens again.
Got a week of vacation approved for next month even though the boss will be out of town one day of it. I have to use my vacation, I'm at the point where they're taking it away from me.
Still struggling with point to point VPN for the library consortium. The sales department at the maker of our firewall says "Oh sure, it will work," but when asked for clear instructions on setting it up, they pass me off to the tech support department where someone said "No, that doesn't work." The issue is establishing a working IPSec tunnel between two different brands of equipment. I received written instructions from a consultant who supposedly has made this combination work at two other libraries. The problem is, the stuff he is describing does NOT appear on my control interface, even after I explicitly install the same version of software he was using.
I think it's bedtime, if I can sleep in this humidity.
