Indeed. While I like VMware's flexibility, I've never liked either its Windows-centricity or the fact that the thing is just set up in the most obtuse way possible. Two different application processors (actual VMware hosts), two file servers, two managed gigabit switches, and we really only need half that since all our truly mission-critical stuff is getting moved to Linode anyway.
All four (!!!) Ethernet switches are getting replaced with a single big one later today, once I make sure this software drop works. As for the file servers...we're going to order a bunch more hard drives, make one the new local file server, and put one off-site for disaster recovery. And I'm probably going to make one of the VMware APs my Subversion server.
I forgot to post an update for this on Friday night because I simply forgot, but here goes:
The saga with the switch is over for now. I had to switch the VLANs around (because the damn thing won't tag VLAN 1), but network connectivity is good, which means I won't have people calling me on Monday morning saying THE NETWORK IS DOWN GET YOUR ASS IN HERE NOW AND BY NOW WE MEAN TWENTY MINUTES AGO.
I didn't get to move the VMware cluster over to that switch (I'm not burning it down just yet), since it uses VLAN 2 for something, but I'll handle that on Monday.
I'm going to get dressed and head to Walmart, since I'm craving canned pasta and I need to pick up some thing anyway.

So my sister mentioned that her friend is cosplaying as Terezi Pyrope at this year's Ohayocon.
She apparently told my sister to tell me this, because she knows she's the only other Homestuck fan I know outside the internet.

Simple. I yammered about it with my sister (as I do with all my obsessions), so when my sister found out her friend liked Homestuck she told her I like it too.
The only people in real life who I know for certain like Homestuck are my girlfriend and a friend of mine, and I was the one who encouraged them to read it.

^^ Sometimes, yeah. Usually my mother and my sister...I find I connect best with them, for some reason.
So I broke my flatmate's plate. My posh tory-supporting flatmate who owns a fuckton of guns and explosives (licensed).
I was kind of scared to tell him. Also I cut my hand when I was clearing away the bits of plate. And then I ran into him on the stairs and I'm like, "How much were those nice blue swirly plates of yours?" And he said he didn't know because they were part of a set, so I asked where he got them. He said Wilkinson's. I asked if there was one around here and he said no, and asked how many plates I'd broken. >_<
So I'm buying him a new one. He doesn't mind what it looks like or where it comes from, but he is not going to let me live this down.
I don't know, I have a feeling everything just amuses him, and he likes to be intimidating. He's actually really hard to read. If he doesn't want you to know what he's thinking, you won't.
As far as Trevor goes, he's actually a really cool and laid back kind of guy. He likes to issue fake threats to people a lot, but he's really a big softie inside.

Yes! I'm actually, like, caught up on schoolwork for once, and it's only 9:00! This seems like a good time to shower, just to get it out of the way so I can WASTE TIME.
YAY I found a working system disk for my IIc Plus! Only problem is, I have no way of getting data to or from any of my modern machines because I don't have a 9-pin PC serial to 8-pin Mac serial cable, and I no longer have any older PowerPC Macs that could be pressed into service.
Thrown out, recycled or given away. All the PPC Macs I have now are New World, and thus would have the same problem (9-pin serial only since I"d have to use a USB-serial dongle).
Also, 80-column mode actually looks decent on my HDTV. In the past, it's been tough to find a monitor that can render that mode properly, since it violates the NTSC specs and, as such, will be blurry on a lot of older TVs. The Mediatek chipset in this TV seems to handle it just fine, though.

No offense, AU, but you're only 17. It makes sense that you wouldn't have knowledge of all this old technology.

Well the point I was making was that Lee has the advantage of years of experience with this stuff, which AU doesn't.

Obviously, I need to talk more about Religions and supernatural creatures to illicit sham:
Adam and Eve had something of a short trial separation that lasted 130 years. This gave Adam some time to hook up with his ex and another hot girl. They had tons of babies together...but all the babies where evil...and demons...some spirits.
Adam's ex also got it on with his son (the murdering one).
Hot girl also managed to corrupt a few angels (though both angels were already pretty corrupt. They where all like "I told you so!" to God when he needed to flood the earth because most of humans had managed to turn themselves into Reavers and God was like "Betcha both you'd sin your asses off in 10 seconds flat if you went down to earth, and the angels where all "OH yeah! We'll just go down to earth and OH MY YOU! EARTH IS FULL OF HOT SEXY GIRLS!" and they both proceeded to sin their asses off in the sexiest way possible and lots of scary giant babies that got washed away in that flood God was going to do. Angel on stays on earth, teaches women their natural beauty isn't enough and they'll only be pretty if they wear make-up and wear jewelry, teaches men how to make swords, knifes, and shields and generally does a good job of getting people to kill each other, and also becomes the demonic representation of one of the seven deadly sins (lust) . Angel two (who might have also been a pre-Islam, goddess, because this shit is just trippy like that) gets it on with a woman (this may be super hot if one is still imagining the goddess, or is into hermaphrodites, which angels are) and proceeds to fuck God's true name out of her. God deals with this later.
Where was I...oh yeah...hot chick...
fig. 1 hawt
Anyhow, she convinces both angels to wage war against God with an army of 200 Angels.
Most of you have probably heard how well that went...
Angel one at least gets in mention in Milton's Book Paradise Lost and Neil Gaiman's Sandman.
Also he gets a goat every year! Which is where we got Scapegoat from.
God deals with the other angel by having him/her/penisvagina set on fire and hanging him/her/both in the sky the to thing about what he/she/mutlisexed had done, he/she/wacky-genitals is now the constellation Orion...

^ He seemed a bit weirded out at first, when I started asking about the plates.
