The last few days I've been battling with my Solaris 10 builds at work. Its very boring frustrating work as it involves making small minor changes to fix things and kick it off again on a test server to try try try again. Patience is a virtue. Not killing people out of frustration is even more of a virtue :)
Its good though, doing technical stuff and not meetings. I have finally got our Sol 10 build on SUN systems working after giving up on waiting for officially being told I am allowed to work on it and just doing it anyway... and so moved onto Fujitsu. Its good solid reliable kit but kinda backward in ways and the support is frankly not so hot. So Friday was tweaking stuff so it would work with the non-SUN kit and then trying and failing all day to get it to boot off the network.
Yesterday was again the same, trying every single little thing to get the damn thing not to panic and boot til finally finally one of those moments that makes it all worthwhile. The hallelujah moment when you realise the one difference they forgot to mention and suddenly it just starts working.
Oh my does it make it all worth it! I left it testing the rest of the build last night with the happy smile of achievement. Gotta love being a geek on days like this :)
