Heinz Field at night

Before leading with the fact you're willing to pay, you'd better be fucking sure you can afford our time.

There is also an attitude here towards labour. It isn't good.

The amount of projects that land in our lap with no lead-time, no funding just astounds me. So, we have no time, and no money to do it, but we must produce $THING. I really do get sick of it. This is the belief IT is like water and gas, it just appears by magic.

Irritates me professionally when we're asked to do big infrastructure projects with practically no lead-time and the PI says "I will pay". This thinking betrays the belief that it is simply a matter of money.

Well it can be a matter of money, but often an order of magnitude more than they are thinking.

Every time. #sysadmin

What a terrible thing. Poor kid.

I started getting a lot of difficult-to-diagnose sudden slowdowns on my FW13 with Arch + Plasma. I have a suckless playground installed so switched to DWM and X11, and have been tinkering with that all weekend, and it's been absolutely solid, so I guess I'm one of those people now. #linux

Good sunset vibes driving out to dinner today

So you're saying you don't like it

Only a modest amount of snow here in Monroeville. The boys were disappointed, I think they wanted a snow day. 🏔️ #wx

Jamie Chadwick heads to sports prototypes. ELMS is a great, great series and LMP2 is fantastic. I'm sure she'll have a great time. Le Mans is also on the program.

Pittsburgh being so hilly, it takes very little to really 🔧 transport.

North of us catching the lake-effect, as usual. #wx #snow

But also this: It *can* be fixed with just a screwdriver. R2R is great.

My Framework 13 suffered a broken display a couple of weeks back. I found it on the floor face down, with a large black band on the screen when powered on 😬 I think the dog knocked it off the table and then stepped on it. He's quite a chonker. I got a replacement screen and manage to not fuck up fitting it, so that's a result.

That is actually the first screen I've ever broken, on anything. Typical it would be my own gear that I have to pay to fix...
