Not So Fun Friday
Maintenance night Friday…the worst and most dreaded Friday of the month for me. Instead of sneaking out before 5pm and heading to a home game, I get to stay here after a hard day’s work and install Microsoft patches on various servers in our datacenter. I bet your jealous of the sexy job I have huh…
At least I’ll get to play in Kat’s rebuy Blogger Donkament tonight on Full Tilt. Probably the only thing that will keep me sane and prevent me from throwing a monitor across the room.

The rest of my weekend will be spent hanging with the family and watching football. Speaking of football…I’ve recently taken the plunge and signed up for the BFFB on Fantasy Sports Live. You can check out Blinder’s site or the website itself, but it’s basically Fantasy Football Sit-n-Go style and it’s all legal. You don’t have a season long team, instead each week you pick a different team and compete against others with the payouts very similar to a poker SNG.
Another contest that’s happening on Fantasy Sports Live is Sundays With Dr. Pauly. Here are the rules yanked straight from Pauly’s blog…
1. Sign up for an account, which you can fund with a credit card. Fantasy Sports Live is 100% legal and within the boundaries set forth by the UIGEA.
2. Weekly contests are $10. Total investment over the duration of Sundays with Dr. Pauly will be $100. We’re starting at Week 6 and ending at Week 15.
3. Sign up for any contest that is listed as Sundays with Dr. Pauly. You will be setting up a fantasy football team consisting of a 1 QB, 3 WRs, 2 RBs, 1 TE, 1 K, and 1 D using a salary cap format.
4. Every week, sign up for a new contest and create a new team. You’re competing against the players in your individual contest. The top 3 in each contest wins prize money (1st – $45, 2nd – $27, 3rd – $18). Places 4 thru 10 get zilch.
5. You are also competing against me even though I might be in a different contest. To make this fair, I’m only allowed one entry per week.
6. We will be tracking the overall progress of everyone who participates. The top 3 overall point winners over the duration of Sundays with Dr. Pauly will win prizes. See below.
Overall Prizes for Sundays with Dr. Pauly:
1st Place – $100 cash and $50 added to your FSL account
2nd Place – Any football themed DVD of your choice (e.g. Rudy, Any Given Sunday, Brian’s Song)
3rd Place – a copy of Blind Side by Michael Lewis
4th Place – a phone call from DaddyBonus: If you get more points than Pauly in three consecutive weeks, you win an entry into a season ending freeroll with $100 added to the overall prize pool.

Can’t you automatically push the patches out using SMS?

We actually WSUS (another Microsoft product) that pushes the patches but we have to follow up to make sure the patches were installed successfully. After that we have to test each of the services to make sure the patches didn’t jack anything up. Big fun.
