Yagg, tear out hair

Working on DNS on Linux. Don't wait up.

After this gawdawful lab is over, I get to sit through COBOL. Yay for me.

45 more minutes. I'm still not sure what I'm doing. I need to wake up or something. And Little Fayoumis needs to stop yelling. I shall curse Irving's name forever for getting him gaming on the local computer, because my Mommy!Ears are on, and I cannot tune out what he says. This interferes with Naomi.

Some of the jobs out there are maintaining legacy code. JOY.

They should call it Antique Code...

DNS, as in using DNs lookups, and stuff like /etc/hosts, or as in setting up BIND and zone files?

BIND can sometimes be a bit of a black art.

named.conf and named.[domain name] ... neither of which I was wakeful enough to comprehend.

That's BIND configuration.

The simple stuff isn't too bad, if you already understand how DNS works. But it can get scary, and BIND itself is known for being a fussy bitch.

I was too asleep to be scared.

Thankfully, I have Irving watching my back. Or something. I've been made the default Linux g33x0r.
