A Day in the Life of a SPITwSPOTS Administrator
Well Brian says I need to write more for the web sight 
So I decided to Log my day during our recent software upgrade.
10:45am
Well here we go …..
Darius is putting on the climbing harness right now. Soon we will be running on qcode.
…..I really…really…really….REALLY hope today goes well.
10:58am
power is on…we are waiting for the first qorvus box to boot up……………………………………………………………..
11:15am
so far so good…except for mosquitoes……on to node #2 at the alibi……
11:27am
AT NODE B Darius is already just finishing up.
Darius says this one needs some weather proofing
11:40am
just finished testing new qorvus connection…So far I am quite impressed!
on to node T.
11:44am
Just arrived at T. Looks like Darius is almost done.
11:54am
I will have to finish configuring this one at the spit.
now its off to node K at the B&B
12:48
well this one took awhile. but we’re almost done just a pain in the butt case…..
1:19pm
off to the spit…..I have to say that so far I am quite impressed with the unforeseen bandwidth performance !!! I just hope to day continues to be so trouble free…..
1:35pm
I’m on the spit and Darius is now more than one node ahead of me…..
2:04pm
Caught up to Darius. So fare everything seems to be working fine…on my way to south central radar.
2:23pm
caught up with Darius. He is still 2 nodes ahead…..;) so far so good
2:33pm
these ones went pretty fast…..now for node A…the last node on the spit!
4:27pm
Well we did A ….no problems..then a quick burger from the happy face (my favorite burger joint)…..now we have just finished node G and Darius is on his way to start the east end nodes. 10 down 12 to go! Note to self: Node G needs better grounding.
4:39pm
seems to be a problem with the splash page on G so I’m re-applying the patches.
4:55pm
ok …now I’m ready to go on to east end……
5:18pm
We are officially half way done…..
Getting a little concerned about inconveniencing customers…..Brian is making some calls to smooth the way…
5:41pm
we must be getting tired…we just lost 2 screws….fortunately we were able to “borrow” a couple from a local computer
6:22pm
another node down…..hurrah!!
time to move on to the next one
6:23pm
Darius just finished another one……
6:37pm
moving on to node P
7:51pm
finally finished with C….moving on…..
9:59pm
Almost done…turns out people who are connected via Ethernet to their node are not getting internet 
10:06pm
got Brian’s node working via Ethernet…not sure how…well on we go.
1:31am
I would be done …….but…….I still have this problem with Ethernet ports ;(
1:46am
alright!!! I’m pretty sure I have the solution….I’ll have to login to almost every node to apply the fix……..
2:52am
I think I’m done …….
I Hope I’m done……..
yah…I’m done…….
It took a little bit longer than I thought it would………
Good night…
