While everyone else was doing the honorable thing, I had my first day of work. Let's see how it went:

1. Arrive on time - check
2. Attend hours of orientation - check
3. Turn an AIX box worth more than my soul into an expensive paperweight by inadvertantly hosing /dev/null/ into a freakish file/device hybrid - check

I don't know what happened. We were cruising along at around 1715 when things ground to a halt. Quick inspection revealed that /dev/null/ was something with my name on it. Have no idea how that happened. Too late to call the admins - an entire night of work suspended because of my account. Bleah! Bad start!

AIX, I hate you.

H*cking:

Gopher server down all weekend due to kernel reboot - forgot to restart it and left for Central Minnesota. Doh! It's back up again. 0.4 rolls inexorably (-ibly?) closer.
