hmmm, I can provide an illustrated guide for future reference; but for now:

Guide To Awoo

1) Consult your pineal gland if it is time to awoo

3) pineal glad will respond that its always time to awoo

4) throw head back gently

5) open mouth wide

6) take a deep breath

7) let the mysterious energies of "gay", "furry", "commie", and the ancient forests consume your essence briefly

8) let out an AWOOO!!!!

Congrats you did an awoo!

Bonus: What happened to step 2?

work nonsense 

Oh hey an entire subnet is not reachable that is not good...
"WE CHANGED NOTHING WE SWEAR!"

Suuure...

Today apparently starts with me driving to a datacenter to move a single cable 5cm to the right because people fail at communication.

Meeting 2 hours before I normally wake up... graaaah so tired now that it is over.

Argh... this is the second time someone has screwed up flipping oncall rotations and accidentally paged me during sleepy times.

Y'know I've been thinking a lot-- a plush mawr is probably about 7' tall.

If I made a half sized plush mawr... ¿Por que no kobold? :D

Thanks for the feedback, frens! <3

This is the final design- just sent it off to Sticker Guy to get 500 of 'em printed up. ^^

Kobolds:

Let's be honest, they are really minion sized dragons.

Or you know brain... you could not thing on work things. Day dreaming is not helpful even if it is fun and far more interesting. Plus... there are dragons there.

Work... you are making it hard to work.

I AM GOING TO BUILD THIS SERVER TODAY IT HAS THE DEFAULT BUILD IMAGE! Root password does not work... can not locate root passward in password management tools... all people that would know are not responding.

I WILL HAVE ANOTHER THING RACKED AND BUILD THAT INSTEAD! Ordering system is down, can not look up tracking number to provide to remote hands so they can find the right box...

Maybe I should just go play vidagames..

This I miss sense moving to the Bay Area.

Smells:
Air just as a thunderstorm starts rolling off the ocean.

The Earthy, rich soil scent after a storm. (Been sprouts taste like how this smells to me.)

Warm breeze coming off the ocean at night, clean, slightly brime-y salt smell.

Sounds:

Thunder
Hard, heavy rain hammering the roof.

Frogs and toads calling at night after a storm in the summer.

Cicadas oddly enough

Sights:

Sunrise/Set over the water

Storm rolling in from the ocean.

In less annoying news I am now accepting recommendations for artists to do a design sheet for squallish, short stormy dragon things. >.>

Then again this damn thing was formerly owned by the same engineering team with a customer facing and impacting system with no backups, no redundancy and that stopped new content filter defs from being deployed for 2 days when it lost a drive.

more shit to add to fragile points docs. :D

So now I have to recreate everything anyway... oh and someone thought it would be a good idea to rsync the cobbler configs from another master in another datacenter... so now the UI is flooded with systems from wrong datacenter. GRRRR... and it's still running on old hardware.. with a hacked up to fit desktop mobo in it. I should have pushed harder to just rebuild it from scratch on new hardware. /hindsight

Ugh.. spend over a month rebuilding this stupid hacked together, glorified PXE boot box and it's done and finally rebuilt, pass it off to engineering and find it out was all for nothing because apparently the RAID array on it was never actually used.. even though they insisted it was and we lost all of the cobbler configs and images anyway...

So any recommendations for an android app for mastodon?
