@lain I can do that in a tiny perl script (which means someone can do it better in python).

@jalefkowit I'm guessing ... as much as I've wasted listening to people.
"So, I have this idea I wanted to talk to you about..." actually Explodes my angsiety, because at the end of their little speil, I'm going to have to say, "That's fucking stupid." and they're going to be mad at me.
@GhostOnTheHalfShell
Having a rough day ... societal stuffs ...
@doctorwhom @GhostOnTheHalfShell @juliewebgirl You are personally responsible for teaching me good "life balance" when I was really bad at it.
Good on you for fucking about.
I have some timeline crap creeping up on me (think jail time because I'm totally fun like that) and that's at the bottom of my list.
Emotionally I'm exhausted and it's effecting "Work".
Hey, it's what I paid all that money for my Psyche degree, ja? (That I walked away from before I came to work for you, as such.)
@doctorwhom @GhostOnTheHalfShell @juliewebgirl Chia-Lin left us because she was Corporate (From Wells Fargo IIRC), she *hated* our process. Fair enough.
Me coming out of the shower in eng wearing naught but a towel because my damned SkyTel went ballistic BECAUSE we had a Packet Storm and I had to badge into the server room perhaps did not help her opinion. **[2]
If you *survived* 90 days in our environment, you got to stay. She didn't.
Broke me forever as well. Observation, not complaint.
@doctorwhom @GhostOnTheHalfShell @juliewebgirl ALso, I built Crackle for Sony Ent/US in Sausilito ... good pub with amazing Sheperd's Pie) .. that ferry was the nicest commute I've had.
@doctorwhom @GhostOnTheHalfShell @juliewebgirl Well, and you can get an "Irish Coffee" and a bagle in the morning ... while reading The Chronicle tootling around Alcatraz.
It really is a nice ride.
@doctorwhom @GhostOnTheHalfShell @juliewebgirl That crossed my media.
The heck was the little bugger thinking?
@feld I will come back to Seattle to loan you my LART.
Fucker, the service is clearly running. It's up. Why can my monitoring not see ....
IPv6 games.
Bastard fucking ...
(Code Dive ... not my code)
*Grabs Developer*
Rubs nose in own poop...
Bad Dev, Bad!
Do NOT hard code 127.0.0.1
"localhost" monkeys and let the system figure out 127.0.0.1 or ::1
As a SysAdmin I SUPER need you to keep up with poorly implemented transitions.
#Windows machine I'm forced to use updated.
1. Emojis don't suck anymore.
2. If I were in Redmond I'd find the fucker in charge of the ToolBar/Start Menu and violence would ensue.
How does these meetings go?
Merketing: "Everyone is used to the new Start Menu now!"
ProjManager: "Fuck it in the kidneys, with a chainsaw ... Next Update!"
I fucking hate Windows.
@feld @justiceputnam IF I did, I'd be killed in about a day or two, and I find that acceptable. However then my tactical and stregig skills are lost so I don't run into conflict like a fucking idiot.
@feld @justiceputnam They've never met a "Hippy" (that's me) that has build ordinance, and pick buttons off shirts with a .308 ... the false superiority can be reversed because cowards will never see bastards like me coming.
Off my leash, I'm super awful.
I never want to be that me again ... (rolls up sleeves)...
Cut me off my leash. Please. I'm almost begging.
@feld @justiceputnam MAGA trash ... THey needed validation after Obama. THey are chicken Shit Cowards.
I can rebuild an AR-10 (308, not 5.56) with my left hand, with a broken index finger, while keeping the scope system from falling to the ground because my "Trans Daughter" made me do it five times, while I was stoned.
Under fire I own a battle space MAGA can't imagine. I understand Tactics and am really good at guerilla war. It amuses me.
They will flee when pressed because they're cowards.
@feld @justiceputnam But the ame is over when I drop Fuel/Air ordinatence from a Cessna 172.
They are small, weak, and insignificant in a modern battlefield. They're playing 1776 ...
I can fly a Bell202 and some fixed wing things. The game is already over. And I know where and how to ... "appropriate' that hardware if I choose.
I haven't decided it's time yet.
@feld @justiceputnam And I want to toss my lunch for even thinking that.
Until I make the association that "They" would do (are doing) it to "Us".
The fight is already in motion.
The only good facist is one in the dirt. uncouth opinion, I just haven't weaponed up yet.
@justiceputnam This is what execution is for.
Uncomfortable truth: I'm a fan of elimination.
Want to play Eugenics Games? Okey dokey.
Fucking Microsoft/Outlook sacks of goddamned SHIT!
My stuff (mail server), *again* cannot connect to their crap fucking mail hosts because ... why this time?
I have reverse DNS (IPv4 and IPv6) *Pristine* ... Google takes my mail, no sweat no strain.
Microsoft is a fucking hazard in EMail Space. They should not be Allowed (on the Internet, really ... ever) to run Internet EMail services and call it that.

@georgetakei Ok ... *that's* new.
Also, that be a Big Boy, I think I'd listen to what he says.
