The beaver is a proud and noble animal
Notes from a bemused canuck

Today started a bit on the rocky side, but finished with a bang. My work efforts were recognised and we’ll received. I managed to achieve a personal work goal I’d set myself (get all the kbase services under nagios monitoring). When I got home, Katy had most of the fixings done for a v-day feast, all I had to do was cook the steaks and poach some eggs. We cracked open the nice bottle of gamay we got from le petit manoir and settled down for a night of movies. We watched an Omid Djalili stand up and Idiocracy – a movie so bad it circles all the way to good :-) then there was cheesecake. Ooooh, the cheesecake. Now there is bed.

It takes a certain amount of skill to write a 3 line shell script like this:
#!/bin/bash source [FILE THAT DOESN'T EXIST] service [EXECUTABLE NOT CONFIGURED AS A SERVICE] start
It takes an ever greater amount of still to have this as part of a well known, large-scale code project, where the controller scripts can point to possibly conflicting (or sometimes empty!) configuration files.
The nightmare continues.
