Is it on a role or on a roll? I honestly never am sure.

Roll. Role is as in role playing.

I've been to your house. It's always whine time around there.

True, very true.

For anyone curious, it's the girls mostly; not usually @scottalanmiller .

@ChrisL No one in IT should ever have access to weapons

Too late. I took karate when I was 12. I'm practically a walking weapon.

You took one class when you were 12, watch out

His body has been molded into a lethal instrument. Be careful of taunting him.

He even plays jenga with 2x4s!!!

I'm doing a Jenga block-breaking demonstration at MangoCon 2017.

You mean "Not-Jenga".

Taken at my apartment this weekend... That's a Conan the Barbarian replica sword with a lampshade and one of my BFFs

What's special about this picture? Just looks like another Linux programmer with a few minutes to kill (no pun intended).

Well, I think I found the root of my server issue a couple weeks back...

Yeah, really. Aren't hose supposed to be IN the drives?

Nah, they left enough glittery dust remnants in the drives, they'll be fine.

Apparently not, hence the server issue.

@Minion-Queen I'm a little worried for our foreign members in regards to MC 2017 honestly. We'll see though

I wouldn't be concerned. Learn a few facts about things instead of believing the "banning all".

Yes. We do understand that.

@ChrisL said in What did you have for lunch or dinner today?:

I've been eating a lot of donuts lately. Somebody stop me, please.

Why? Sounds good.

What exactly are they looking at, anyway?

You've never seen a bunch of dogs all sit attentively like that when someone holds up a toy? That's what's going on here.... SAM just off camera, holding up a toy so they could get the picture.

Glad someone could finally explain that. I've asked for years and never gotten a solid answer.

Shipping equipment out to Lenovo...

Freaking worthless tech support (we reinstalled windows, let us know if the issue persist)

Um.. yeah hard drive not found while booting.... fix it!

You don't have a USB drive plugged in and the boot order switched, do you? Just checking...

@JaredBusch said in What does your desk look like?:

I need new monitors before I can use a stand like that. Mine are too old and heavy compared to new monitors.

@art_of_shred said in What does your desk look like?:

It has amazed me that monitor stand prices were so high for so long. What in the world justified that seemingly artificial price point? Was it a fad type of thing that droves were rushing for?

I think it has been that places like hospitals spend 10 to 100 times the amount of money on the pieces around a computer than they ever do a computer. How much does Ergotron charge for each of those silly computer carts?

I know what you mean, but the price of a monitor stand nearly everywhere has been insane. That's not just directed at a particular market segment, like hospitals. If you hunted, you could find some website that had them for decent prices, but it hasn't been the norm. It's beginning to come down in the mainstream marketplace now, for the first time.

Trying to set up a demo email server. Getting ready for my first coffee of the day.

Is the coffee so intense their that you have to get ready for it?

Didn't you know you have to be pumped up to drink coffee. Can't be all like "ehhhhh I want coffee but meeeehhhh" You need to be "I need coffee now before I murder the first person who says even 1 word to me"

I think that may be a sign of addiction...

Well yeah, but it's the best kind of addiction, and an awesome result is people tend to avoid you first thing in the morning

And if they don't and somebody dies... you can plead temporary insanity and get off easy.

"He spoke to said something stupid to me before I had my coffee. Everybody knows not to speak to me before I have my coffee."

If it is before my morning coffee, everything is stupid. Merely speaking to me qualifies, lol.

Exactly.

"Hey I need you to remember to pay the taxes" comes out like "blah blah blah more stupid blah blah blah"

Pay the taxes? Coffee or no coffee, I'm never in the mood to hear that!

Real world irony - I've gotten 72 metric shit0tonnes of spam from Avaya today. Probably seen them once or twice before, today I've deleted at least a dozen messages from them.

Desperation.

Possibly. Certainly not irony.
