GROUND CONTROL TO ad-DOM
GROUND CONTROL TO ad-DOM
Take your protein pill and turn your servers on
GROUND CONTROL TO ad-DOM
Commencing countdown, powering on
Check your con-prompt and may the force be with you
Spoken:
Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five, Four, Three, Two, One, Powering-on
This is GROUND CONTROL TO ad-DOM
You’ve really earned your pay
And the admins want to know which static-strap you wear
Now it’s time to enter on the command line if you dare
“This is ad-DOM to Ground Control
I’m stepping through the door
And I’m pinging in a most peculiar way
And the tracroutes look very different today
For here
Am I booting up this tin can
Running Solaris 2
Console isn’t true
And there’s nothing I can do
Though I’ve flown a couple hundred miles
I’m feeling very ill
And I think my packet knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much (she knows!)
GROUND CONTROL TO ad-DOM
Your circuit’s dead, there’s something wrong
Can you hear me, ad-DOM?
Can you hear me, ad-DOM?
Can you hear me, ad-DOM?
Can you hear….
“ am I’m booting up this tin can
Running Solaris 2
Console isn’t true
And there’s nothing I can do.?
backstory: Adam had to go work on some servers in Middle River (MRAS). things went well, contratry to the song, but still… the possibility of doom for the server conversion was just too much for josh and i to let go.
