  • Usual back ups this morning
  • Our SSP got a 1-month extension so it did not expire today.  As far as I know I have completed everything I’m responsible for.  There was a flurry of emails going around about tasks for other people.
  • Finally heard back from the help center about our production server.  I can’t connect to it via HTTPS for several reasons…
    • The DNS is pointing to the wrong IP address and the tech doesn’t know how to fix that but is sure someone else does
    • I need to submit a ticket to the production firewall team and have a exception put in.  The firewall team is a completely separate group than the person who is answering my ticket
  • So I submitted a firewall exception request
  • I contacted Allen N., the guy who set up our VMs originally last May, and asked him about the DNS problems.  He helped me submit several more tickets to get that resolved.
  • Back at the Mill I was able to create, save, and reload some hibernate java objects
  • Looked back at some old Dynamic Hibernate stuff for Phil: closet full of wheels
