    Morning all

    More muppetry in the office today - turns out that the project I'm leading has had its IP space nicked by the geeks in High Performance Computing. Their original spec of "this will be hidden and separate from the production network" was woefully inaccurate.

    Guess who is going to have to rewrite allocations for the affected addresses....

    I wouldn't mind so much but they keep encroaching without so much as a proper consultation. Only a matter of time before it all breaks horribly.

      Fistfights in the canteen over IPv4 address space. This is how the inevitable collapse of civilisation begins

        Not just any old space - there's a whole slew of 10.0.0.0/8 to choose from and they've nicked a few random /24 from the middle (and don't even need that much). It's replicating a previous setup but with some tweaks by an external supplier.

          Been in the Project Room stipping paper out of files.

          the Win7 box in there got turned on so I could have some heavy rock.

          Except it's been rattling the drive ever since & there's no time for it to run anything but the update.

            I'm off now to see if it's stopped.

            fortunately my mp3 player is standing in for the interweb youtube thingie.

            Once I'd found the AAA cells & figured out how to recharge them without the charger I'd taken home.

                  After 13 months of solicitor letters I have finally been paid by a certain agency for work I carried out last July.


                  …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore
