*gets in Jeep and goes off-roading*
*plays music from n900 over radio*
*receives call from Enterprise Operations from my job telling me one of our Apache servers has gone down and I need to fix, also comes over speakers*
*stops offroading, turns down volume, connects to work vpn and opens a shell on n900*
*SSH's to apache box, ps -ef | grep httpd, daemons are running.. odd..*
*pops open browser and connect to a onesight monitoring tool to check website statuses, notice they're all down..*
*pop open remote desktop app and connect to IIS servers to check if theyre running.. they are, sites accessible from localhost..*
*open up another shell and telnet to apache box port 80 and 443 to verify ports are truly listening.. connet, do a GET, pull back site. Good.*
*nslookup website, pull back correct external IP*
*scratch head.. *
*call firewall guy, listen to call over radio, rain starts to fall on Jeep*
*check forecast and radar, storm comin and still got a ways to go..*
*firewall guy discovers issue, goes to work on it*
*disconnect from vpn and verify i can access sites externally again*
*hang up with firewall guy, call back EO and tell them all fixed, get informed a couple weblogic jvms are hung.. sigh.. say ok and hang up*
*connect back to vpn and execute a perl script I wrote that restarts the JVMs without any interaction*
*sit n900 in cup holder while script runs and continue on trail.*
*check n900 a few minutes later and see the JVMs are back up.. close shell, disconnect from vpn, call EO and tell them alls well again. they say thanks, i hang up, turn music back on over radio*

Such an inferior device.

simple people use simple phones.
