Oh…

  • Order two more servers for companies in Florida
  • Ship a 56K modem and cable to another company in Florida so he can call the BBS I am slapping together to send me data from a DOS 5.0 system he bought from us 25 years ago. Oo
  • Make sure the ancient DOS machine running WildCat BBS works so I can receive said data.

There's more but I am getting depressed typing it out.

  • Minor workstation difficulty in office
  • Company in Alabama scheduled to call re: Windows networking problem
  • Company in Florida having wonkiness AT&T couldn't figure out. Will call
  • Server from Nashville arriving Next Day Air (Down)
  • Chew out supplier in Atlanta
  • Remotely create RAID mirror on machine in Arizona (After hours)
  • Call beta tester/lab rat in Kentucky.

This must be why I hardly get a chance to code of a week.

I…I don't have any puppies. :(

The Internet used to run on cat pictures and porn. The new fuel of choice, it appears, is shame and coercion.

I've made my nightly visit to Twitter to be asked to "Make this space my own"

Now to visit Facebook and be berated over the fact that I have not told the world anything beyond, "Senior Software Engineer at Non-Descript Software Company".

I'll come back here and wait patiently for to code something that points out my social media inadequacies.

Twitter must think I have a overwhelming desire to automate network diagrams.

Kidding aside. I'm only going to wind down when all of this stuff is done. I foresee grabbing Sidekick and taking a months long vacation in Europe or Asia after this.

If my goal was to wind back down, playing Rammstein was probably the wrong decision.

16 years of watching small businesses co-exist with Linux under my belt. The horrors I've seen. The nights I came home disheveled, wide-eyed and shaking.

Unreal Engine stuff uninstalled because I really have time to finish that game. snort
