Personally, I aspire to a cubicle again.
That would mean that I was working at a desk instead of a table in Storage Room B. But, I understand that some folks really resent cubicles. Those cube-farms become a kind of professional purgatory from which escape seems impossible. Or, at least, improbable. Well, if you can't make fun of your terrible and desperate professional life, what can you make fun of? So, here it is. The ultimate toy for the prisoner of the cubicle: The Cubes.
Well, I've got another bit up on Novell's CoolSolutions website.
This time, it's a bit of bash code to let you choose which ZEN imaging server to use based on subnet. It works for any version of the ZEN for Desktops imaging system, since it's pure bash.
Oh, my, but they are sneaky.
Of course, I should expect that from these folks, but, still, I fell for this one. I was checking my Hotmail account, as I sometimes do at lunch, and saw a link to an interesting news story. At least, I thought it was a news story. Instead, it turned out to be a thinly veiled advertisement for MicroSoft. The article was titled Gaming Company Gets High-Score Thanks to Innovative IT. Sounds pretty good, right? I thought so too, so I clicked on it. SUCKER!
This turned my stomach when I read it.
I'm quoting the entire article from the WiredNews Furthermore collection, because it tends to scroll so fast:
Dogs and Dope
That's my new goal for the new year.
I'm no good at letting things go, to be honest. I want to hold on tight until my fingers bleed and then I just want to switch hands. Of course, I know that's not healthy for me, in any sense of the word, so I'm trying to take the advice of friends and just "let it go". It's hard, though, when I feel wronged or cheated or, even, like I just wasn't given a "fair shake", to shrug and walk away. But, it's what I should do. I know that, but...
I went to church for the first time in years tonight.
No, really. Stop laughing! I'm serious!
Yeah, okay, I put on a tough-guy act a lot of the time, but I'm not. Really, I'm just a big coward. The other day, I got so freaked out about being alone in the house that I loaded up my .357 and put it in the electronic gun safe. (It's one that I can use a key-code to open in case of emergency.) It's sitting next to my bed. Right next to the sword. And the knives. Hmmm, I see a theme here. Now, you'd think that a guy who has all those "weapons" is some kind of maniac, right? Nope. He's a coward.
I drove through the old neighborhood tonight.
Okay, the Slashdot effect should be over by now...
Yeah, I saw this on Slashdot, but it's so good I don't even feel guilty for putting it up as a Fun Friday link. "It" is Akiyoshi's Illusion Page. Well, actually, it's pages. Frankly, I've always been blown away by good optical illusions and this page is the best I've ever seen. Some of these suckers give me motion sickness!
Okay, so it occurred to me that I might have lost some subscribers.
