From story:
“In each pant leg, according to a release issued by the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service, the man was concealing a live pigeon tucked into his tights. He was also wearing a money belt which contained plant seeds, and carrying an eggplant in his baggage” –full story–
I can’t even begin to wonder what went on in this guy’s head that led to “hey, that sounds like a good idea”

I decided to go against the grain and actually post something. Not much to update just yet, although good stuff is in the works.
News: Finally got my CCNA. I have yet to be reimbursed for the test costs, but it’s good to get that under my belt.
Not news: Still working in the same position, but we have a couple of massive contracts pending. If they go through they’ll be needing more engineers, and I’m first in line.
Random: Music video about russian culture:
A++, would buy again.
I’ll try to write more often. Not because I think I have anything interesting to say, mostly just because I like hearing myself say it.

There was recently a big issue with this one customer of ours, and the job to drive the ticket through AT&T fell in my lap. I spent around 90 minutes fighting with them to even get a ticket opened, and finally got to a person who could find the circuit I was calling in. They were reluctant to build the ticket, and I expressed to them that in the time I spent bouncing around in their system the ticket was escalated to a very high level. They asked what level that was. I replied “It’s been escalated to puppy kicking status. We have a whole lineup of puppies here, and we’re going to have to start kicking them soon if nothing gets done on this. I don’t want to kick them, but it’s part of their process. So please try and get moving on this”.

I had a savant moment just now at work. I fixed this one device by adding a line in its running configuration that wasn’t there before because it “looked right”. I can’t explain my reason for adding the line, I’ve never messed with that part of a router’s config before. I don’t know exactly why it fixed it. It wasn’t till after I had done it and was writing an email to the customer that I realized I had no idea why I’d made the change, it just “made sense” while I was doing it. I’m not sure whether it’s a good sign or a bad sign… I’d certainly rather have a clue but I guess I’ll take any flavor of success.

It’s cut down on my productivity quite a bit, and my AIM friends seem to like it. So I’m releasing it to you lucky people. Originally stumbled from http://home.planet.nl/~borst595/ . I mirrored it to save him the bandwidth.
