Don’t forget the situations where you find a good blog post or article that you can actually follow along until halfway through you get an error that the documentation doesn’t address. So you do some research and find out that they updated the commands for one of the dependency apps, so you try to piece together the updated documents with the original post, until something else breaks and you just end up giving up out of frustration.

The Compromise of 1850 said that no state above 36° latitude could be a slave state. At the time Texas extended all the way to modern day Wyoming. In order to remain a slave state they gave up all the land north of that. This is why Oklahoma has a narrow panhandle now.

Can you change the report for this one customer who has a nonstandard completely fucking stupid set up that none of your collection points account for and goes against the entire point of this report?

Well, maybe not those exact words. It’s more like:

  • rep: customers XYZ doesn’t like what they see on the report
  • me: well tell them to clean up their shit and stop leaving orphaned systems in their environment
  • rep: well can’t you just exclude the orphaned ones
  • me: the point of the report is to help you clean up your environment. If they did that it would show improvement week over week until it got to the levels they want to see.
  • rep: they don’t want to do that, they just want them excluded from the report
  • me: no

Reminds me of a guy I knew who kept getting letters for a $10 parking fine he got while at university. He waited until they spent more in postage than the fine before paying it.

Just a reminder she was a big part of Microsoft Bob, which without we would not have comic sans. Not relevant to anything here, but an interesting footnote in her career.

My first thought too. I can listen to their entire discography without skipping a single song. And they are even better live. Saw them a month ago and even after tonsil cancer Mike hasn’t slowed down a bit.

I was 8 years old when I moved to Texas. I’ve never been more disappointed than the first time I saw a roadrunner. My only frame of reference was Looney Tunes.

Wouldn’t a fake prank fire extinguisher just be a normal fire extinguisher?

We mustn’t dwell. No, not today. We can’t. Not on Rex Manning day!
