Well, That Was Special

We use a wonderful little application called Citrux to distribute the major app we use in the OR. Much of our testing of the upgrade has been done using "thick" clients installed on several laptops, so we also needed to do a load test of the Citrix server we pass through to connect. Turns out our Citrix admin guy wanted about 10 to 15 users to connect for the test; we provided 60, all trying to log on (and therefor passing through the Citrix server) pretty much simultaniously.

Kin Yu Say, Hosed th'Server?

Sher. I gnu yu culd.

nice!

Right.

world domination: processing

Step One: eliminate Pinky & the Brain (competitors)

that's hefty competition. i would say bring them over to your side.

Good idea. I can always turn Squrrl loose on them. He'll talk even Pinky under the table, much less Brain.

It's like, see, you put this cat in a box, only it's not really inna box it's in itself, and then like there's two cats and they're the same cat but two and not inna box where you put them, but inna box where you didn't put them because they aren't really the same cats anymore, and there's four of them now but one of them is the original and all the rest are quantums.

Then you wag your tail at them really really fast.

Sorry, my /sarcasm html tag seems to be lost somewhere on a Citrix server...

Oh, we have that fine Citris server running our new software! If OUR system crashes, 5+ buildings go down. That's my cheery thought of the day.

Wow, Boss, you played Hose with a server?

What's a server?
Squrrl

[identity profile] madshutterbug.livejournal.com 2006-06-09 05:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, Squrrl, I played Hose with a server. Not quite the same game you know, but similar. A server is a big metal box that talks to other computers here in the Internet and the Intranet place.
