this is not me cracking under the pressure. blue footprints on the front porch. bunny hug. an entire argument carried out on a post-it note. will it resolve without the FQDN? where is 4-1? basic tummyache. kid climbing refrigerator. three-fifty short, an even five over, followed by one under. extensive modifications due by tuesday was it? i lost an hour. unexpected t_echo on line 40. the knife is in the freezer because the cake is in the freezer. so if you need a kinfe... five fifty five. no, six. but that's fast. seven. ma-huang. 4614 messages 2443 unread. do we have chocolate? eight, nine. fine. everything is just. fine.
fine, fine

"everything is just. fine."
hmmm. why don't i believe that?
ahh, it's not that bad. well, the unexpected nap &the juice & cookies helped.
& now back to work. it's ok.
I am all too reminded of the gerbil on the wheel...
Perhaps more sugarized, caffeinated, chocalate rich treats?
they make diet rockstar now! woo!
i'm going to hate myself in the morning, but i hate everyone in the morning. & i'll love myself on payday, so ...
Oh I love you in the morning and I love you even when it isn't payday. So take your ma-huang (combine with lots of coffee) and everything will be just fine, sort of.
oh & the FQDN thing? no it would not resolve without it. however yes i turned it into an FQDN. almost all by myself. well, i did the figuring out how. and the actual doing.
fqdn? FQDN? huh?
chocolate abounds, it is good for the soul always. and ditto to stacey. morning, night, day. chained together or long drawn out thoughts. cold. hot. somewhere in between. we are here. always. period.
Fully Qualified Domain Name. i.e., in the format of hostname.domain.com -- it is possible to point an MX record at an IP address, it just won't actually work.
now, i had the FQDN, for the mailserver, but it was a CNAME, which made it an alias of the A record, and i needed the email to point to the server that the A name used to point to, but now points at work's servers. and nobody would admit to having handled the email routing before. good god.
have i mentioned this is the agency's best client? who has offices down the hall? no? well, there was that.
so i made the CNAME into an A record, pointed that at the exchange server's IP, and then pointed the MX record at the A record i just created.
why i didn't think of that in the first place is beyond me. at the time it seemed a bit circular. should have known that was a good sign.
and then i had 184 emails i had to hand forward out of the cyber-oubliette they fell into.
