That's all right, everybody confuses Frank and Sam
- Posted by Ryan Finnie on July 31, 2003, 3:56 pm
All of our customer- and internet-facing cisco equipment has been upgraded to fix the recent Cisco vulnerabilities, but we still have a few internal 2950s that are still running old code (sh ver says there were compiled April 2001). Rather than track down the proper people who have access to the support contract for these devices, I decided to play the "this is a security fix, gimme gimme gimme" card. So I called up TAC. Among other things:
"What is the device's serial number?"
"F as in Frank, 1, 2, 3, 4..."
"Okay, I've got S as in Sam, 1, 2..."
"No, that's F as in Frank."
and later:
"And your name?"
"Ryan Finnie, last name is F as in Frank, i, n..."
He didn't confirm spelling on my name, which I really didn't notice. Later, when I check my email, surprise surprise:
Subject: Cisco welcomes Ryan Sinnie to the Technical Assistance Center
Ugh...

I seem to be the only person in the world not going to Defcon this weekend. Oh well. At least there's Linux World next week and Burning Man in a month.

God damn you MRTG. Now, whenever I look at a graph, I automatically try to read it right-to-left.

Dude, Tinkerbell has breasts!

I was at Chevron a couple days ago, filling up my car, when I noticed a Disney/Chevron ad for something at Disneyworld. Then I noticed Tinkerbell. She had a rack! I should have had my camera. The closest thing I could find online is to the left, but the image I saw was different. Not necessarily larger breasts, just more defined cleavage.
And for the first time in my life, I was attracted to Tinkerbell. Does that make me a bad person?

Ugh.
I think I'm staying home Monday. I've felt like crap all weekend. This severely (read: completely) cut down on weekend festivities, including blowing off a barbecue on Saturday (sorry Al) and 2600 on Friday (sorry pdx6, etc). My sleep schedule is whacked... hence posting at 2:30AM. Last night I slept for 15 hours. Blah.
Stupid UPS. Why must you suck so bad. In a shipment from IL to NV, after 4 business days (not counting Friday, since it was a holiday), it's managed to get to.... IL.
