@KinkyKobolds Ah yes my favorite game!

Is this a kobold or a server? Sadly it is always a server... my work place should hire some kobold assistants D:

Storm dragons are dangerous around datacenters..

Ugh... crashing hard all of sudden.. Headache, exhaustion, just want to nap. No focus...

Worst part of working from home on the weekends.. I so desperately want to take a nap right now.. AC is keeping my room cool.. bed is right over there... but.. pager coverage..

@KinkyKobolds Fair point!

I've been convinced someone one at Paizo hates Kobolds for a long time. -4 average attribute score.

Awesome art though!

@KinkyKobolds This is adorable and awesome! Great looking kobold! Why... are all the kobolds I know alchemists?

Ugh... can't tell if my shoulders, neck and back are sore from the dude that backed into on my way to work today or from carrying a 125lb server + box into fedex from my car..

Suddenly reminded I need to knock the rust off my python skills.. :(

Current position does not allow for much scripting due to my responsibilities and a dedicated team that build our tools and automates anything they can already

Fabric is pretty cool though I do use it fairly frequently..

Stormy Dragon! SFW 

@mawr Big storm dragon on a stormy beach! Well.. stormy water front! :D :D :D

Stormy Dragon! SFW 

I don't think Adalfyre has a masto but OMG I need to share this amazing piece she did for me!

@IrisKalmia I... RAWRRAWRAWR

That's what I have to say to this. Dragons need to dragon and rawr!

@Kistaro It sucks but some teams will just push stuff out regardless, especially if there is a bunch of C-level visibility on a product.

I'm going through that right now with a core product of ours that is huge and constantly growing and doesn't scale well to be but Execs said it had to launch and now Ops gets to deal with teething problems and Eng doesn't understand throwing more hardware as a stop-gap isn't a solution since it will take millions of dollars and weeks to build/deploy.

@Kistaro Yes please ohgod as an Ops person please..

I presently want to murder some of our engineers over one of our products if service is consuming 2TB of ram and unstable throwing more ram at it will not fix it.. and no I'm not monitoring your special dashboards every hour when the tool offers notifications and pagerduty integration. My team will take on this when you get proper monitor solutions.. and some semblance of run books for it. this is no the only product we are responsible for.

Mental Health 

Maybe it's discontent.. sure what to call it.
Just... dissatisfy comfortable? Not uncomfortable enough to try to change things.. unsure how or why?

I don't like it. Some negativity is bleeding into everything even though I try to be positive.

Mental Health 

I find myself day dreaming a lot of escapist fantasy a lot more these days and devouring also sorts of average at best, trashy at worst science and fantasy novels. Like way more than I did even in the worst parts of my not great childhood.
But at the same time, I'm moderately successful, not drowning in a pile of debt or broke or being abused. I'm just unhappy a lot having trouble holding on to fleeting moments of happiness and my general outlook of the future is dark and scary.

Dear Software Developers,

When a service is utilizing 2TB, yes 2 Terabytes of RAM (DDR4 of course) on a physical machine... and still unstable, crashing because insufficient resources tossing more RAM at the problem is not going to fix it.

Tossing more physical nodes at the problem is likely not going to fix it either...

Sincerely,
Cloud Ops Dragoness

Ribeye was on sale for 6 bucks per pound... so that is a ribeye with portabella mushrooms, onions and bellpeppers for dinner. Marinaded the steaks and mushrooms together, sauted the veggies on the side in the marinade (green apple hard cider with onions, garlic, crushed red pepper, black pepper, green pepper, coriander and dill)

basted steaks with sauce from veggies and toss it all together on the plate :D

Excited about a new smart phone (+) 

@mawr Let me know how that works out.. I need a replacement for my poor HTC One M8.

blah.. body 

My shoulder is killing me because some install work was an extra pita today and the weather is crappy.

Now my body is like oh on top of that you get to be really squirmy and flustered now, enjoy!
