I want to go home and feel sick, but I have so much to do here at work.

That's an odd desire man

@travisdh1 said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

It's alive! (caution: loud)

With that, I'm going home.

Pill press?

Was out for a hike on the weekend and just as it stopped raining I came to an outlook over the valley and a monster rainbow appeared!

Looks close enough... So where's my half of your pot of gold?

Have to catch me first

Once you bring down something production as a young tech, you will never do it again.

Gut the interior, install roll cage, race seats + 6.0L LS engine + manual transmission. Just the right amount of sheer stupidity, danger and fun I want.

So you want to drop a GM drivetrain in it? Smart!

The irony is that I could not actually install a motor in it with MORE displacement than it has now lol

460ci / 7.54L is a freaking monstrous dinosaur and it only made I think ~300hp brand spanking new on leaded gasoline (super high octane)

@Breffni-Potter @MattSpeller you guys still 10/100? I was reading a post from 2015 where you stated that. We're upgrading very soon. Politics.

We got the worst of ours sorted out with hand-me-down switches hehe. It's not a difficult project, mostly just preparation. Can be a nice opportunity to audit vlans and clean up old junk. Make sure you upgrade firmware etc.

Mr. Optimistic over here. What a guy

Have not even had a coffee yet!

Russian standard paint stripper right there.

Get yourself some Polish or Lithuanian wodka.

On a related note, I need to build my distillation apparatus soon and start fermenting some potatoes.

Deployed a WSUS GPO to a portion of the enterprise and now I'm watching machines check in. It's a little exciting because it's actually working as intended! Shit never works on the first try and this actually is.

Bahahaha let me know how that goes in a few months

hides tears from years of wsus failures

@JaredBusch said in How's the weather?:

The weather is on crack or something.

They are calling for snow... in March... on Vancouver Island... It's not unheard of but it's definitely a freak weather event.

I would very much like spring now please.

Frigging laptop just crashed, wtf man

looks sternly at laptop

Left my damn power supply at home this morning. That is what I get for leaving at 5am.

Emergency trip to Microcenter and $70 later, I now have a charging battery.

I love Dell for keeping the same adapters for years - I have one for work, one for my laptop bag, one for home

Sorry I couldn't help myself

Could someone competent from ML please start a telco/ISP in Canada? Please?
