Moby Disk; meta reminder

[sistawendy]

We interrupt this transsexual squeeing to tell you about the a deployment from hell. This one's got it all: disks running out of space, disk failures, unplanned multi-day data migrations, hacking scripts in a build, platform surprises due to unique hardware, broken prerequisites, people taking dependencies on us who didn't bother to tell us, and an original four-day schedule stretched to fourteen. Those of us who can have started working in shifts; I took last night, and my good twin takes tonight. We're getting it done, but it's pretty traumatic.

Please remember, folks, my trans tag goes public on Tuesday. If there are any comments you want screened, please email me. This username at gmail.

Oh, you have my unending sympathy...

One good thing has come out of this: dinner on MyCo three times in the last two weeks.

Even better are the releases that the higher ups refuse to let you roll back from.
