Think before you print
This is what happens when you don’t realize that the shiny new wide format plotter you installed at work set itself up as your default printer. A4 wide text on 1m wide paper…
Ben told me to get a real job
Quote of the day
Vera: How difficult a task is it?
Rc: it’s a non-trivial amount of straightforward work.
Rado: In other words, it’s a pain in the ass.
Updated 1-page CV for 2014 – Take 2
Following some constructive criticism, I’ve come up with V2 of my one page CV. It’s lost some colour, but I think it’s gained some more meaning.
Updated 1-page CV for 2014
As part of a Scientific Advisory Board review at work, we needed to produce a one-page CV. It was a good opportunity to spruce up the old CV while I was updating the content. I had to shave a lot of detail out, to bring it down from 4 pages down to 1, but I think it works. Comments?
I feel like I’m running on decaf today…

Happy Sysadmin Day
How Do I Need Thee?
How do I need thee? Let me count the ways
I need thee every time I mistakenly trash a file
I need thee when my laptop slows to a crawl
and when my server has crashed
I need thee when my system has been infected
with horrible malware
and when I forget the password that I set up just yesterday
I need thee with a confidence that I seem to lose
when errors pop up all over my screen
I need thee with the breath,
Smiles, and tears, of every hour I spend at work
and, if I get safely home tonight,
I shall but need thee again tomorrow
Working from home
