@nitinkhanna 3.2 Ghz i5, 16 GB RAM, GTX-960, Saitek X52 throttle and Stick, TrackIR head tracker.
EDIT: Gaming sure got expensive. Used to be "Commodore 64 + Atari 2600 Joystick you didn't ruin by playing Decathalon"
@nitinkhanna Because they are barely capable of turning a computer on.
// @kdfrawg
I've done the following..
#vim Makefile.am
Enter things like -lm -lstdc++ -lssl -fpermissive and such I've not needed in the past
:wq
..more than I care to think about, today.
@kdfrawg The only trying part of the day was talking a French-Canadian through mounting a logical volume in single-user mode and running fsck on it.
# vgscan —mknode
# vgchange -ay
# fsck.ext3 -y /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00.
Relaying that was a lot harder than it looks.
Edit: Having them read the output of the second command off so I knew what to have them type in the third one is the bugger.
Typical Monday in the books.
Only difference in the evening will be Sidekick shaking her head and calling me a dork as I set up TrackIR in Elite Dangerous.
@matigo About as happy as I could be staring at code I never thought I'd have to look at again.
Reading source code comments I wrote 16 years ago.
Conclusion: I was not a "happy camper" 16 years ago.
Having one of those, "I should have skipped college and joined the steamfitters like grandad wanted me to do" moments.
