when i went out to california to start my first real job as a firewall admin, i was learning solaris and sendmail (i only knew checkpoint gui policy stuff and basic solaris route adds/deletes for NAT) when i encountered one of our customers filesystems was full. I thought I'd be slick and do a find -mtime +15 | rm * to impress some friends on network side of the house, yeah i freed up some file space alright..... I emptied out the entire email que for a whole customer corporation lol, those god damn quotes!
I still get teased about this... Of course, now that i think about it - its pretty god damn funny.
i have been playing with 12 left over netra 1280s using them as 'redundant' backup for my little ultra 10 workstation, the netra 1280s are emc'd as well, i really just got carried away with rsync.

Just curious if anyone else does stupid computer shit just for the sake of being able to say they did it. |
I tried to build my first comp. Knew everything, just had never done it before. Turn it on and would not f*****g work. Not even POST. Tried every f*****g thing I could think of, talked to whole bunch of people, nothing would f*****g work. Finally I realized I had forgot to put the motherboard on risers when I had attached it to the case. I fried every piece, so I just returned all for a refund, saying I just didnt want it and had changed my mind, then moved. |
Hehe, done that. |
Yeah I did that with the first computer I built. Except the motherboard sparked and ignited a small fire when I turned it on. It only melted a little and the fire was small enough for me to just blow out like a match. Surprisingly, I returned it to whoever I bought it from and said it came defected. I specifically remember the guy saying, "Ma'am, it was caught on fire. This is unusable!" And I was all, "YEAH! MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY. So how soon can I expect my new one?" I still can't believe I got away with that one. |
I was just about to do this with a computer I built for my aunt.
After reading this post I'm about to check to see if it has spacers I think it does but I was not paying attention when building it.

I hooked up every PC to that SETI Program back before I got laid off. Had like 350+ PC's on it.
