Happy System
Administrator Appreciation Day! (via Rob my old
roommate)
Make sure you show your appreciation. For me, a few liters of Coke or a
good quality tea (heck, even dark semi-sweet chocolate) would be nice.
An incredible oratory piece by Eric Burns (at about 17 minutes or so, but worth the listen) about artistic endevours, or rather, the lack of artistic endevours (and the Match Game) that I suspect quite a few people I know can intimately relate to.
It was good for about a day. Now, the A/C is out again, and R's server that died on Wednesday is dead again.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
It is assumed that every brand name, slogan, corporate name,
symbol, design element, et cetera mentioned in these pages is a
protected and/or trademarked entity, the sole property of its
owner(s), and acknowledgement of this status is implied.
