I have a peculiar loathing for for Windows updates. They take far too long, are barely introspectible and of course trigger countless reboots. This has been going on for 24hrs now.

Valentino Rossi has finally retired. What a career, on and off the bike a fascinating person.

I don't know what Ubuntu changed in input handling with 20.04 but it's annoying and I've had to unplug and reconnect USB devices on a couple of machines now because its shit the bed for no obvious reason.

In the meantime, put some food in the vending machines, you bastards.

I am back in my office. For how long? The delta variant is probably going to shut us down again.

I get the high school outreach target of the project, but given that antivaxxers are paranoid about shills being everywhere *already* is this a good idea?

Kermit being rude

There's a good chance the needle stick from my 2nd vaccine might have damaged my bicep. I have to have physiotherapy which apparently has a good outcome in such cases. I have a fairly serious loss of mobility in my left arm.

"Dear admin, I need root access to execute some programs" lol no you fucking don't you donut

An interesting thing after updating a five yr old server to. a newer OS release: 250mb is no longer enough for /boot. It'll be okay for the initial install, but the second you get an additional kernel update it'll fail.

Just found out my boss died this morning. That's a new and awful experience.

15yrs ago today, end of a hectic week's holiday with my younger sister before heading back to England. I had no idea I'd be in the US permanently just five years later.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say 'no he didn't.'
