I think my employer has an image problem. At a tech conference, I introduced myself. When I told where I worked, guy said “ooh, the devil!”
Repeat after me: “Router goes on the OUTSIDE”. I don’t care what your VOIP provider says. Otherwise, I can’t get into your network.
@FortnightBeer Parent, considering attending a meetup at your place, would like to bring 13yo along. Is that OK?
Once again, @romanmars treats his extremely useful and impeccably maintained listeners to show credits that rival the show itself.
Sometimes I think I should have been a lawyer. It’s the same job, really - translator/interpreter of arbitrary rules in an arcane language.
Our library loans audiobooks for 14 days. I’ve been listening like a madman, and there’s still no way I’ll finish on time.
@jfmecca In this case, the first mover has a serious influence on the rest of the street.

@anjibee @chillcast Wow, just open the URLs http://t.co/JyxkSsK78p or http://t.co/B1Th2resie in a browser & see the media files are missing.
. @anjibee Getting a lot of “no media found” on the @chillcast feed (ep 400-405,408,409,411,412). Bummer. But 410 is OK, and it rocks!
58°F now, 85°F later. That’s gonna be some powerful sunshine. I’m feelin’ it shining down already.
Pondering the classic after-an-evening-swim decision: put on the same clothes you wore earlier today, or get into pajamas a bit early?
Sometimes I wish I could shake my head like a dog and get the pool water out of my ears (without giving myself a headache).
I hate it when programs tell me to “try again later”.
@TheRTP It might FEEL like a treadmill, but no…
Installing two new server clusters in our lab. I’m naming them “Tyson” and “Sagan”. @neiltyson @COSMOSonTV

Always amused by desktop trash, browser helper bars, tabs & history, and email pop-ups that presenters inadvertently share with audience.

I am such a backup pervert… just noticed that I have been backing up the volumes that I labeled “not backed up” for a few months now.
@robertryals That Borg cube fridge might even go unnoticed at the Borgacle.
Reading about DHCPv6, which I thought wasn’t really a thing, but is.
Every time I see a Windows bootup logo go away and the login screen appears, I think “whew, dodged another bullet”.
@jenncutter pro tip: cables in ziplock bags… no more tangles!
Apparently, I’ve had the whole concept of “stage left” and “stage right” backwards all my life, until today.
Converting a headless server to btrfs… who wants to bet that it doesn’t reboot correctly? I’d better go find a keyboard and monitor.
