And On This Farm He Had A Blog

Almost 11:00am and I am still trapped at home because of calls.

I think the world is telling me to start working from home. I was hoping to avoid that.

@phoneboy Doesn't it though?

10:30AM Monday morning and my mind already turns to spare ribs and steaks on the grill while fiddling with the flower and veggie gardens.

@matigo

"Where are you going?"
"By the time you knuckleheads finish discussing this, i'll have it in beta."

@matigo I can only get so upset by it though, For some use cases, the simpler hardware and software of that era are just better than they are now. More reliable. More fault tolerant. You couldn't get carried away with confusing AIs because..hello..80x25.

sigh

@larand You'd still be at work because someone in Pacific time called you with an obscure problem.

grumble

When you get a call from someone using a 26 year old version of your software who's reporting a file locking violation and you have to remember the exact command to re-initialize the file locking system (This is DOS. You had to roll your own for stuff like that back then)….

@larand Lost my sense of smell 35 years ago. Pity only my passenger.

@larand Thank God you weren't on the road all day.

@larand Sounds like an all-around win.

I will probably pick up a small john boat, evenrude outboard and trolling motor. Something to take to the lake and fish from. Sidekick has expressed interest in fishing.
