I was on my way out, standing up, telling the guy who sits across from me goodnight, when suddenly my phone rang…
It’s one of those moments I’m sure we’ll all have at one point or another (some of us seem more so cursed than others, but that’s life…). For a split second you wonder “Do I really have to answer that?” and “What could possibly be so important that it can’t wait until tomorrow?” and you whine “But I was just one my way oouutttt!”
So I ended up answering (did you really have any doubt?). It was my boss with a couple of questions about our servers and network. He was trying to put together some fancy-sounding marketing bullshit to impress a prospective client that we’ll never get for 100 other reasons, and wanted to know what the specs on several of our servers were.
I amazed even myself as I rattled off the number of servers we currently have in operation for production purposes (13, btw) and what their specs were. One server after another, and in the order they’re mounted in the racks in the server room, I was able to tell him not only the number of processors and their type and speed, but the type and amount of RAM, the OS in use, their model numbers, and even several of their storage capacities, as well as whether they were 100mb or gigabit connections.
I can’t even tell you the exact specs of my computers here at home (my virtual server box is 3.x ghz… 3, maybe 3.06, could be 3.2, but I don’t remember), but I can tell you half the specs of most of the computers in the building at work, all instantly, straight from memory…
Am I good or what?
Whelp – at least warn us when you are going to change your template!
– smiley test
Heh… I’d have warned you if I’d known myself. This morning I logged in to blast away some SPAM I’d gotten overnight, and just couldn’t stand the old one any longer. Since I’m obviously not making any progress on my own new one and this is a nice, basic, simple, clean design… You guessed it: K2 it is!
And I still don’t have a clue what your problem with smilies is. I haven’t heard of this particular problem in relation to WP 2.0 anywhere else, and it sure doesn’t make any sense to me personally.
No problem with the smileys – the text version still works fine!
