Touché.


The following image seems like the kind of thing you'd see in a 90s / 00s vintage film which peripherally involved IT in a broader terrorist / espionage plot:





Nope, just routine offsite backup. We buy these Pelican cases (and hard drives) in bulk.

EOL.
I'd be impressed if the cat could key in the bootstrap loader from memory.

Fortunately, she doesn't have to. It's printed on the front panel:




I don't know why only some of the PDP series machines came with this helpful instruction silkscreened on the front panel. It's not even consistent across the -8 family. The Straight 8 didn't have it, and while some of the 8/Es had it, others didn't.












But regardless, I'm sure kitty has booted that machine enough times that she can do it by feel, much as someone who spent years operating the big tape machines in the 70s and 80s can thread a tape on 'em without even looking.

10:40 PM.

Stuck at Sears tower. Emergency electrical work. Will probably be here until well into tomorrow.

I'm bored as hell.

Third is what happens when I'm bored.

^^ Joe, if you're bored, please put up a sign and some irrelevant PPE somewhere at a main entrance to your domain. It's my current corporate troll campaign to get bigwigs walking around with silly PPE on.

2:00 am.

No velociraptors.

If you think PPE means anything in this building, you are mistaken.

Buy a pile of fake ****. Place somewhere close to one of your velociraptor signs (bonus points if you can figure out a way to make it steam). See who freaks out.

@sixshooter, any of these in your company's catalog?

I've got the machine and the club but the ball and tee are sourced elsewhere, lol.

Here is a shot from Friday morning. The screw is putting sanitary sewer in for a new subdivision right next to a creek. It is entirely too deep and wet with lots of well pointing trying to keep the water intrusion down until they can finish. This is because the developer is trying to save money and not pay for more than one lift station.
