Problem Resolution

We had a demo of some really cool problem resolution software today. It can watch what goes on throughout all the servers and clients and correlates a problem for you. It does way more than that, but it is a difficult concept to write about. I am sold, but we need to evaluate it a bit more before we can make a decision.

Work was normal otherwise. Well normal except for the circuit failure we had in our call center computer room Thursday and again this morning. I don’t know who is stupid enough to close the door on a computer room that feels like it is 110 degrees inside while a fan is at the door blowing hot air out of it? Long story. We had some HVAC issues that caused other power related issues. The power issues caused some problems on thursday with our IPCC system. It was resolved by a reboot, but it was fun for a bit while we troubleshooted the issue. Otherwise I have been able to catch up on the backlog of issues this week since my boss was out sick.

Dinner & Drinks

After work Jayson and I meet up with John at some dive bar on the west side by his office. I don’t mind dive places. Especially ones like this. It had a nice crowd and wasn’t too crowded. The best part was the happy hour till 8PM. We where able to get a round (including 2 mix drinks and beer) for $8. This is NYC and it was that cheap. By the second round and a nice tip the drinks where pretty strong.

After a few rounds we ended up in little italy for some good dinner. Jay and John got some cigars at this little place on Mulberry street. I was full and tired by the end of the late dinner so I passed on going out for more drinks at a nearby bar. It was a good night all in all.
