The Caffeinated Penguin

Posted By matt on July 27, 2006

This week has been very busy, because I'll be gone for two weeks.

Folks at work decided to play a joke.

This very much made my day <— Sarcasm.

Call it the cherry to a rough week.

(1) Note the timestamps (frequency)
(2) Assume I had to ssh in to a machine during this time
(3) Read the interjected output really fast, starting from the top

(12:34:05) JimmySail: Matt -MAJOR problemm – since I am on “sys admin
duty” when your gone, I installed a rook kit checker on db0 and I think
we're hosed – /usr/local/bin/chkrootkit
(12:34:13) JimmySail: Get over to db0 and run it and see what you get – asap
(12:34:22) JimmySail: you there?
(12:34:27) Me at Work: yeah
(12:34:28) JimmySail: Matt
(12:34:40) JimmySail: run it and I want to see what you get
(12:34:44) JimmySail: I am very concerned – we may have a problem on
more than just db0
(12:34:47) Me at Work: I'm doing it

(scroll really fast past this part – imagine it rushing by on a 25 line
high terminal window)

(12:34:50) JimmySail: k
(12:35:07) Me at Work: (1) Where is chkrootkit from
(12:35:10) Me at Work: (2) Does it work on Sol9?
(12:35:13) JimmySail: I downloaded it
(12:35:14) JimmySail: y
(12:35:19) JimmySail: one sec – let me see
(12:35:24) Me at Work: Give me URL's and let me research, please
(12:35:34) Me at Work: the way these work generates lots of false positives.
(12:35:39) JimmySail: you getting infections too?
(12:35:40) Me at Work: The last thing we need is for folks to freak out.
(12:35:41) Me at Work: Yes
(12:35:47) Me at Work: And they're almost always wrong
(12:37:00) JimmySail: the bottom of the check does not find much
(12:37:21) Me at Work: please answer my qyestions
(12:37:24) JimmySail: looking
(12:37:33) Me at Work: Where did you get the root kit checker from?
(12:37:37) Me at Work: That's all I need to know

(Simon calls me right about here, and I tell him that I'm in the middle
of a crisis, and he wants to know if he can crash at my house, and I say
that I might be pulling an all nighter rebuilding the business)

(12:37:55) JimmySail: do you see the message for rootedoor?

(here's where I scroll up in the output and look for rootedoor)

(12:38:32) Me at Work: not cool
(12:38:36) Me at Work: I just hung up on my best man
(12:38:41) Me at Work: Because I told him to piss off
(12:38:47) Me at Work: bnecause I might be pulling an all nighter
(12:39:00) JimmySail: it was a company wide thing for you
(12:39:07) JimmySail: we worked on this all am
(12:39:16) JimmySail: kevink. kerri, etc all in on it
(12:39:22) Me at Work: it was a nice thought
(12:39:26) Me at Work: I'm going for a walk now
(12:39:29) JimmySail: we tried
(12:39:32) Me at Work: and am going to call my best man back.

(and this is where I walked out and called Simon)

I was not amused.

But, they were trying to show affection in some sort of bizarre way.
