BuyVM - Leaving Buffalo Early

Anything else would be dead stupid.
Correct but who knows.

There's a pending dispute over a KVM we thought we had purchased but are now being told that

it was only leased. I wouldn't have paid $175 to just lease an IPMI when I can buy them off ebay

for ~$200 anyways.

I think it's a bunch of bull but i'm not going to delay the move or lose fur over it.

So are you guys going to Choopa?
To be 100% transparent in this, we've ordered with constant.com which is a "sister company to choopa.com" as they officially put it.

It's inside the choopa datacenter that's pictured on the website and things like that.

We got a pretty good deal. Granted, it costs more than we were paying in Buffalo but Buffalo's pricing was unrealistic and actually a loss for Jon.

How's the move going?

Any confrontation? Everything going smooth and as you hoped?

What's the good news in BuyVM land?   Everything going smooth?  Server handoff happen without any ugliness?

ETA for NJ and being back online still all seeming realistic?

We've been setup for a few hours now, we've just been waiting on them to fix our prefix list :(

OUr BGP session is up and such but yea, it isn't passing outside of choopa.

It was an annoying time in Buffalo but we had a fun drive as well as stop in Batavia.

Actually, I can give an update here.

We weren't allowed to take our equipment out of the datacenter and they refused to try to work something out. After some bickering they agreed to release things.

I got the feeling that Chuck and Zack were genuinly afraid of Aldryic since he just stood there with a white, mobster, hat on and said nothing. When Chuck handed us the papers his hands were shacking some, be it the area was cold, creeped out or just whatever.

The hardware was brought down to us 20 minutes after we gave the 'pull the gear' announcement. Things were carted down to the mal- 1st floor of the building where I did inventory on everything and got quite annoyed at them.

In the end we got screwed out of spending $350 on a power strip that we're just now finding out was a "loaner", same excuse as what we had with the lantronix spider. I'm not sure how they can keep with this argument, though, considering the retarded high price on things. I could have ordered a replacement strip for $100 instead of $350 where I was expecting to now own a managed APC unit.

We got the CC gear in the car and went to Batavia to work on the next batch of gear. We picked up everything and were well out the door w/o issues.

The drive went fine and we didn't stop for any meals since things were a little behind. We got to choopa around 4:30 PM local time. We got through security and checked out the rack pretty quick. We had all the rails setup, & power setup by 6:30 PM or s, putting us well on track.

The big hold up right now is just the prefix list not working. The BGP session is up and it's serving to choopa internall just fine, but anything out the door is dead to the world.

There was confusion as to what day we were showing up, where they thought we were coming in on Monday, not today. Because of that thye ran into their network guys not being around to debug locally.

Anyways, we're just standing around replacing badges and getting things nice and clean.

Thanks everyone,

Francisco

They reeked of fear. Couldn't even make eye contact with us. But they at least had the balls to come downstairs.. same can't be said for the ones with louder mouths.

What no Chris and Jon holding hands in the elevator?  Smooches.

Poor Chuck, he gets to be the tough guy on folks.  :( works better in ticketing and emails.

Now for the business side of reality... Choopa/Reliable...

Saturday, booze, 9PM.... Some well versed BGP network admin headed in to clean up issue... tonight?

I considered coming down, but Fran didnt want to meet me. Him and side show Bob are lying scum and their story doesnt reflect the truth and are the ones truly afraid. My sleep is far more valuable than meeting two degenerates that have nothing going for them.

Thank god they are out, and this can all be over. Good luck with your small over exaggerated company.

Degenerates and nothing going for them.. Ouch... -2 points.

You owe me 1.
