there's no respect
i'm an older worker now and people think you don't know anything because you don't know about the latest xyz.
truth be told, I don't know about the latest xyz because i've seen that type of thing before and it had limited market appeal and folded after 5 years

the less experienced generally see initial benefits
the more experienced generally see initial benefits, long term issues, growth pathways and so on.

getting from 25 yo to 50 yo doesn't take long, you should always have your ears open ready to learn and always treat people respectfully.

Scratching my head wondering what Mangolassi means?
Could it be a Scottish woman eating a mango?

Happy Friday everyone.

Happy for me as the prodigal tool has returned!

good morning, 9:22am.

got the word yesterday that we're expecting back on site from the 12th onwards. such ashame, the past many months have been some of the most productive, interesting & joyful with regards to work, of my last 10 years.

normally i move from site to site everyday, forgetting what I did last and wasting time settling into the newly arrived at site each time I arrive.

the past few months i've rekindled my interest in IT coz I had time to sit in one place, complete tasks & investigate new things.

I'm going to spend the time between now and the 12th trying to work out how I can run my work life from the cloud, so everytime I arrive at a new workplace, my desktop will still have tasks, jobs, notes open from the previous site, if that makes any sense.

and what the hell is a Stroopwafel??? ^^^

they asked for a rate sheet incase they need me to come in and help with something.
i'm loathed to help at all following the way i've been treated.
if i do help, the rate will be astronomical.

a great example of bridge burning.

Another "I'm not really computer lierate"
OK I don't care, just sit there, be quiet and let me fix your problem.

Brand new around here. I see some people here I know of from elsewhere.
Currently enjoying what must one of the last few beautiful sunny days down here before winter sets in for 4 solid cold miserable months.

Having a ball with ZeroTier, this thing seems to be able to connect through anything!

Wondering who the imbecile was that convinced the world to stop placing LEDs in Num Lock and Caps Lock keys was.

It's a toss up between intermittant mouse pointer movement & not knowing if your number / caps lock is on as to which is the most annoying thing.

That person "will be the first up against the wall when the revolution comes".

sitting down after driving 1.75 hours to get parts to resurrect a 9 year old server that died last night.
server 0 - me 1.

ran sdelete on a hyper-v host. been sitting at 99% complete for 12+ hours.

WHAT HAVE I DONE !!!!!

@nadnerb yep, can't wait, but have to. Last year we did the 'top end trip' northern QLD, northern NT and got approval to enter WA, but the weather was too hot.
We probably won't be over until 2023 at the earliest.

@nadnerb Gday mate. Bit bloody hot over your way today.

... this about sums it all up ...

currently listening to Yello ......
