I hate vehiclesEveryone parks in our driveway. The parking people don't even give
them tickets when the are there. The other day matthew got into an
argument with a city parking attendent who would not ticket someone
parked illegally.
Everytime I come or go on the weekend, I need to beep or get in a
fight with someone.
Then this afternoon, someone with a careshare car smashed into a
dancecamp car. It was clearly the non dance camp person's fault which
is kind of ironic considering how the damce campers are usually parked
illegally all over the street or in lane of traffic. Somehow, the
carshare car hit the parked truck at like a right angle. The way it
hit, it makes me think the car malfunctioned.
This happend two minutes before we were about to leave. No one was
injured and no one was even in the parked car that got hit but three
firetucks, two ambulances and a number of police showed up.
Then the tow trucks showed up and parked in our driveway right in
front of the no parking sign. It's especially redivulous because you
can see the available parking spots behind the truck right on the
street and closer to the accident.

I have no idea. In the old days you could walk out side with a Bat and settle things and people got the message. You do that now and you are the bad guy. I think the real problem is it is tough to do tough things when they know where you live, you are right there they just visit.

How do you call a tow truck for an illegally parking tow truck.

I'm not suggesting to do any thing illegal but there is one thing that would stop all of these promblems well two things but the second thing would work better. 1. Pan Handlers need to find out when people park there. If they walk right up to cars that are illegally parked and so they stick out and run some story that might cause them to park where they are supposed to. The other thing is for some crack heads or others who need money to break into a couple of cars parked there and that will spread like wild fire and no one will park there. To bad you can't install those spikes yes you would have a remote that makes them drop into the ground. Where you can only drive over them one way. That way anyone who drove in boom. Also Have you tried to call a tow truck to haul cars and then leave the car someplace else and make the person find it HA!!!!!!

There were five cop cars managing the rally last night. It seemed excessive. However, they allowed the parade to go down the middle of Allen Street, despite lack of permit & organizers' instructions to stay on the sidewalk.

Servers and uptime - happy anniversaryCategory: computers
At work I manage 7 linux servers. Include estrip and its 8. It seems to be growing but honestly the servers pretty much manage themselves. Managing servers is not really my job but I am good at it and the server techs are mostly a windows group that seem to generally dislike my love for linux. Luckily there is a guy on the network team who is my *nix guru whenever I get stuck. He has servers with years of uptime.
That being said I am getting pretty good at it and I've learned a lot but I have to say, centos itself rocks.
The main web app linux production server I manage at work: 366 days uptime.
Estrip linux server: 369 days
Work linux db server: 76 days would be 366+ but I rebooted 76 days ago to make sure the memory only databases would populate in case of a power failure.
The windows web app servers have tiny uptimes in comparison. For example our main windows web app server is set to reboot every night because no one can figure out the memory issues. It could be the OS, it could be the programs, it could be vendor products, who knows. But one thing is sure, it seems like they constantly need to be rebooted. I am torn on if its windows itself or that no one really understands the windows web servers. I do remember my windows comp needed rebooting all the time too.
Its an interesting situation. The reason the server team loves windows servers is for the support they get from Microsoft.
Its fascinating when I see emails from microsoft support suggesting the solution to a IIS app pool issue is to reboot the server. Is everything in windows solves by rebooting and isn't that a flaw in itself? Isn't the whole point of app pools in IIS to avoid having to reboot the server when apps act up?

European News That Suprised MeCategory: web
I saw in the news today that China just edged out Germany as the world's top exporter 
I seriously had no idea that Germany performed so well in the world market. How can they with the high standard of living, social welfare, baggage from WWI and WWII along with the lack of natural resources. You would think they would have lost all their productive competitiveness as America did.
According to wikipedia:
As a side note, who knew the prime minister of the Ukraine was so hot. She wears her hair like this a lot. Here is her wikipedia page

Germany is the world's top exporter with $1,498 trillion exported in 2008 (Eurozone countries are included) and generates a trade surplus of 165 billion.

Well I guess the Sahm-wow guy was right. Plus they do looks of beer, and beer related stuff like octoberfest stuff and food and great cars and great guns and then people collect the Nazi Stuff. Then I'm guessing there is a lot of dance music and S&M sex stuff. But I would have never guessed they where #1.

The Ukrainian Power Braids - (e:dragonlady7) does her hair like that sometimes, although it takes a lot more clips. We thought it was traditional but I guess she invented it? I don't know how you can run a country with everyone asking you about your hair.

Their old manufacturing plants still make quality industrial parts. Many Indian industries prefer machine components from Germany as compared to China.
Wow, fun hair!

So I admit I'm a bit confussed I see an Ad for 3 places The SPCA, Comfort Zone Cafe (isn't there one in The City on Elmwood also), and then that Sports Place. But then on the Bottom it says to find them on facebook to they mean each store or Just the Mall?
(e:Mike) and I are already fans.
