CloudStrike impacts a lot of systems today. And today I start my vacation.

What is mandatory to do for a man 40+ years old that has no aches or pains?

Provide him with a 6 ft hole before he starts to smell.

Is machine learning not a concept we use any more, everything is called AI?
I did not get the memo about this.

About a month ago I sorted out some old electronic stuff and found my old laptop from 2011. A 2:nd Gen i7 8gb ram. I replaced it due to several bluescreens a day that later turned out to be caused by a faulty RAM module (was 16Gb back then).
Well, back then it became a backup laptop and went on the shelf and almost forgotten.

I went through all the old files on it and copied them to the NAS, replaced the mechanic drive with cheep SSD.
Used the old Win7 license key to upgrade to win 10 , dust off the fan, and it turned out to be usable.

I have much better computers so I would not use it for anything but today I gave it to my 6 year old nephew so he can start using a computer and build his knowledge. Worse case; If he spills soda on it he'll learn not to do that with the more expensive computers he will use in future.
So win win. I got to get rid of some junk that had been gathering dust for many years by giving my nephew an opportunity to get started with computers.

Finally, the timing: Microsoft announced a few days back that any new upgrade from windows 7&8 to 10 is no longer supported, but that computer still has a valid win 10 license as it was updated a month ago.

The new iPhone 15 Pro seems to have a new handwormer feature.

Happy programmers day 2023!

When life brings you down and you think it can't get any worse.
Be positive and tell yourself, of course it can.

Ohh, there were so many... don't make me choose 😳

Every year I get more than bit wiser and every year there is more that I don't know.

Isolating every part of the system optimizes current performance.
And it also hinders any future connections from being formed.

Just thinking this is also true about group, team and personal connections as well.

When life only brings you shit and you think it can't get any worse than this.
That's the time you need to take a positive spin on it and tell yourself: of course it can!

Suddenly some some strange noice from the kitchen... Hmm my wife's laptop sounds like it plays some TV series but no one is logged in.

Conclusion: windows update restarted her computer while it was paused on Netflix, after reboot chrome opens to latest url where it autoplays trailers.

Conundrum resolved.

My nose you shouldn’t see
it behaves like protocol UDP
But with my faculties I should be considered a hero
my mind feels like I just divided by zero
I feel like a Java applicated newly created
with the garbage collector just activated
But I try to keep everything on the positive side
same as the COVID test I just tried…

Ahh...
Submitting a patch at 4:58PM on Friday knowing for sure that nothing can go wrong.
BTW leaving for a week of vacation now 🥴

A button on my keyboard is no longer responding: [Tab]
I only bought it 8 years ago for ~5$ but I have since lost the receipt.

Subconscious doing it's thing?

git sobmodule update --init

Final episode of leverage redemption, they used an Android phone. Have you ever seen a TV series where they don't use an IPhone?!

Cracks start small 😋

I'm not bitter, I have life experience.

CIs are red
Coffee breaks are few
With all that said
Conclusion is [null pointer exception]

I wish I could play the guitar like Jimi Hendrix, sing like Meatloaf, write like Terry Pratchett and make ones and zeroes dance to my tune as Linus Torvalds.
But I need is a good woman's love.
So I have what I need so I'm happy.

The game you play requires you to be over 7 years old to play, your current skill level indicates otherwise, are you sure you are older than 7 (yes/no)

While a colleague was setting up an online technical discussion we all joined the meeting, a few people couldn't join so he said he would record it, after we had watched him going to different menues trying to start a recording I said "come on, it can't be that hard to start, I've seen managers do it"
It was a short time with a lot of heartfelt laughter and then a lot of muted participants.

The recording started, we discussed best way forward went with that. It was an early catch of a problem so no managers needed to be involved.

Summer is getting close, so you see highly stilished people running around taking pictures of themselves.
Are they wannabe influencers or applying to work at a high class escort service?

I'm coining a new scale on how to rate a manager:
The BTCD rating.
My currently one was at 4, now I'm still counting...

It stands for: Beers To Cool Down (after a meeting).

Is there any instructions videos or a book on how to handle managers or other people with severly diminished mental capacity?
Whatever I say gets missinterpered, I had an argument with the teams tattletale so now every step that could someway be interpreted wrong is an big issue that needs to be discussed and solved -> enter missinterpered...

I know when it seems like when the world suddenly doesn't make sense or is out to get you it's most often the observer that has changed but I've twisted and turned all variables (including myself) and realized that I'm in a fucked up situation.

Thanks for letting me vent a byte

Motivation lost!
Anyone seen it?
It's a battered old thing, smells a little bit like sunshine and redemption, been in decline for a long while.
Last seen 2017, small reward.

Why?
Get paid the same anyways...

If I keep banging my head against the problem I'm confident that eventually something will break.

I've said it many times and empirical evidence would suggest now that I'm rather thick headed.

I would find a way to get me out of groundhog day
