This isn’t related to me particularly, but I wanted to discuss it briefly. There are companies probably everywhere, that have immoral hiring practices. Ta-da, who would have guessed, right? What I want to focus on is hiring people for jobs that they know 9 out of 10 people will quit within any arbitrary short period […]
Read MoreAnd here are some pics from 2006. Yet another apartment. It would seem that I moved pretty much every year. Not so much lately. A smooth 3×17″ setup. Though, one screen was for my OpenBSD box, and two for my main desktop. I was running Xubuntu back then it would seem. I also seem to […]
Read More..into the mists of history. Here’s my workstation in 2009, a different apartment again. Some explanations may be in order. No, not all systems were hooked up at the time. But most were in some use or another at some point in time. Either for practicing something, a lab or something, or just in […]
Read MoreI wrote down a hazy line one evening in notepad and then saved it. It says: “open source contribution if you are not a programmer?”. I think I’ve pontificated on this issue in the past as well, but let’s see what thoughts I have on it now. I’ve done very minor contributions, because I’m not […]
Read MoreThat photo i posted two posts back? Yeah, i was thinking: I’m gonna go through all of the old photos i have, and that are at my parents place, and scan/copy every photo that has a picture of my former computers and / or workstations. Then post them here, with a description if i can […]
Read More…since i last wrote on here. I guess i can pretend i was busy. That might be true? First things first. My grandfather passed away on the morning of the 13th last month. He was 91. I ofcourse, attended the funeral, and I was a pallbearer. It was a short and beautiful event, though sad. […]
Read MoreA picture of my setup (sans the actual computer) from December 2003. Funny how times change.
Read MoreAnother post of random thoughts and ramblings. I’m on my winter vacation this week, which has been of.. varying quality. I’ve had days where i’ve been able to rest. And i’ve had days where i’ve been totally swamped, or unable to calm down. I’m a bit of an ADD case, really. I have trouble sitting […]
Read MoreI was considering Linux compatibility. Back when is started, at the end of the 90’s, compatibility was not much to talk about. Most cards and peripherals were not supported, or the support was iffy. I remember having an ISDN card, which i had no support for. And since there was no support, there was also […]
Read MoreOh blow me. I couldn’t make up a snazzy topic for this post. I’ll just start the ranting. First of all SOPA, PIPA and the less known global fuckbuddy, ACTA. So there isn’t going to be a vote on SOPA. Great. PIPA is still moving ahead and it, or some re-titled successor will probably end […]
