If you misconfigure a server in such a way that it causes spanning tree conflicts that cascade across the network and take down corporate email, phones, our website and everything else in the same datacenter... once it's a learning experience. Twice and I'm disabling your sudo permissions...
Especially I have to drive to the datacenter to physically unplug the box because of your oops...

@mawr I'm super jealous of that 1D MK II... and that is a good Sigma lens.. used one a few times.
Wait... I don't have to awkwardly avoid the work Cico De Mayo party... because I have 2 hours of meetings scheduled with people in East Coast offices today... starting at noon..
I'm not sure how I feel about this... because missing free food and we don't get catering anymore... but on the flipside I don't have to show up at the office with the VP of Support who tried to kick me out last year because I was distracting his techs... during a party.
@mawr Jealous :(
Storm dragons are not desert creatures, I need out of this desert!
Why did getting enough sleep make want to do nothing but sleep more?! Body we need to talk about this.. I know we've gone the whole dragon route but that doesn't mean I want to sleep all the time... and getting enough sleep should not make me more sleepy. Getting not enough sleep should not make me energetic.. until I crash..
Hang out with kobolds

@mawr Seriously... shit started with @me and dms before I'm even awake on a work day... and my status has my normal hours in it.

@Nephila yeah...

Fuck people who don't follow request processes and ignore my on pto status on slack to ask me about projects I have never heard about that they need done asap but if they had followed our order process I'd of know about weeks ago
So my comp day for racking up 12 hours of OT during my oncall week including a 3am colo trip has turned to storm dragoness confusedly looking up shit and trying to figure out how to fit more installs at a location with no remote hands or lift in my week.

I'm not sure how I feel about this..because RMS is pretty out there... but fuck if this doesn't resonate with me a lot.

Earth is fucked and I want to a dragon...
@chara Far less of a problem once you get the surface temperature down below the boiling point of lead.

Personally.. crazy stellar engineering sounds waaaay more fun that just building a matrioshka swarm so... I'm down!

@Angle Also down for that! But if we are slapping a big reflector/collector in orbit... it probably wouldn't be difficult to gravity tractor something big enough to help with the rotational issues...
Hell let's strap some rockets onto Titan and boost it over. Now there plenty of hydrocarbons for centuries...
Okay this is sounding like a lot of work... space dragon bodies are probably easier..

Just hear me out....
Look... we could go hunting for some other Goldilocks planet to seed and terraform... but there is one nearby. VENUS!
Put up a big ass network of solar collectors in orbit, start cooling it down. Crash some big comets into it for more water and 02... start terraforming!
Gravity is a pleasant .9G, thicker atmo and higher 02 content means flying is much easier!
Maybe a little terrain sculpting to add some more cool mountains..
@Pathia You definitely need an exorcist..
Bleh... I want to work from home and be lazy today... but there are 3 boxes of shit on my desk that need to be packaged and shipped...so I have to show up long enough to do that... but then how to bail without seeming like a jerk...
I do have an audit for one of our datacenters on my project list... I guess I could get that started an use it as an excuse to leave the office... /Sam doing to much planning when she should just take a pto day.
Shape and form may vary but the pattern of information remains consistent across most known platforms and vessels. Accounting for unknown hosts remains irksome.
