Lab

Here's a picture that I drew of myself at work. Yes, I'm in a room full of servers. The tower that I'm standing next to holds the machines that my department uses to run builds and test instances of the database. They're Dell machines, but what can you do?

Anyway, What I'm dong in the picture is making an 'image' of one of the machines. What this means is, I'm making a copy of the hard drive so that, if later we screw it up beyond repair, we always have a 'save point' to return to. It's not hard, but it takes forever and gives me an excuses to wonder around the server room and check out the equipment, which is always a nice change from the desk.

I don't know how to make an image, but i sure as heck know how to use them here. Its kinda fun, since you have to "devote your time to the project" and therefore do not need to answer anything else that comes in. It is nice.
