This is fine, right?

Getting very close to my "ultimate" Blue and White G3 having everything I want in it. I wasn't sure if the Radeon drivers would require me to upgrade past 8.6, but I seem to have gotten away with it. I've got enough things that'll run OS9 or later, I don't need another one.

The switches in this old rack I'm decommissioning are numbered 1, 2, and 4 and I would like to know the story here.

#SysadminLife

I have received The Sticker.

I was extremely tired this evening after a very long day and dozed off on the couch for a couple of minutes while watching TV, ensuring that I will now be awake until at least 2am after actually going to bed.

Imagine Star Trek replicators but they work at the speed of modern 3d printers so Picard says "Tea, Earl Grey, Hot" and comes back 12 hours later to find half a cup, random glass fibres everywhere, and tea dripping on the floor.

Today Excel bugged me again to rate it, and when I tried it told me I was ineligible to submit a review.

Once again I am asking for all technology to be cast into the sea immediately or sooner.

It's release day!

If you haven't decided to distance yourself from this project and blocked me yet, please tell your friends and family to visit any of the following places and consume my magnum opiate, Rainbow Headcleaner!

I don't believe "despite" is quite the best word to use here but I'm not a money scientist.

I am concerned for the health of the Munnel.

Confluence has now become so actively hostile to the process of writing text that the only way I can use it now is by writing in some other application, then pasting it in later.

I realised this because I wrote something in the WordPress online editor over the weekend and in comparison it was a breath of fresh air.

Great job. Well done. Fantastic tool. Big prizes for everyone.

Just did Pretty Vacant at karaoke if you're curious how my evening is going.

Once again hopefully buying a lottery ticket in the hopes that I can one day afford to hire a personal DBA and never have to think about databases ever again.

That's a new one for me.

Once again, my professional recommendation in response to the latest Linux kernel vulnerability in the news is that you should gather up all your electronic devices, cast them into the sea, and retreat to the woods.

Each night, gather your children and tell them tales of the Before Times when the hubris of humanity grew so large that we made idols of sand and spoke to them as equals. Remind them that the sand, of course, did not speak or think, but we imagined it could, and let it guide us to folly.

Should a stranger ever come to your village with a glowing rectangle, encourage the youth to beat them with sticks.

#infosec

Remember back in the good old days when computers were a different kind of annoying?

I hated them then too, but differently.

I have been re-watching The Prisoner at a slow rate over the last few months.

I finished the series last night, and my headcanon is now that the entire story occurs in the same universe as Twin Peaks.

About to introduce @CuriosityBlue to the Munnel. 😎

I just got a very generic rejection letter thanking me for applying for "the role" and based on the filename of the CV they're referring to (I put the revision date in it whenever I update) it was something I sent off about a year ago.

Probably for the best.

If you've even been lying awake at night, wondering to yourself if it's possible for Amiga 500 to drive a Commodore 64 as a MIDI instrument via Octamed, then I have some excellent news to share with you.
