Toolserver:User:Kylu/excuses


 * Random toolserver excuse generator
 * Note: Some of this is blatant technobabble. A few have been blatantly stolen from Simon.

Replication Lag is too high. The job queue is too long. The toolserver admins suspended my account due to a security issue. Can't log in, there's a bug in my login script. My SSH key was rejected, they're looking at it. My SSH key is on the other computer. I forgot to SVN the version of the script that supported that. That resource hasn't been moved to the new server yet. It worked fine on the Solaris box! We tried to overclock Hemlock to get more performance, and the CPU failed. The DHCP server died. System's out of memory. There's a typo in the code for that tool. Someone used too difficult a password and the machine is busy trying to encrypt-and-compare. The stable toolserver wasn't. That tool got moved to the Windows toolserver, currently BSOD'd. Counterfeit "Sysco" brand router. The keyboard got unplugged from the SUN machine and now it won't boot. The token fell out of the token-ring, we ordered another one. The /dev/zero device ran out of zeroes. The OS swapped the VM module to disk. Tool developer used Imperial (US) measurements, but the Toolserver is in Germany and uses Metric. The query took too long to process. I just started 'make global', it may take a while for everything to recompile.
