The anatomy of a daily checklist for an awesome day at work

Filed under: humor — hoanga @ 9:12 am

I don’t know about other people but my daily checklist aspires to be something like this…

1. Come in
2. Kick serious ass
3. Go home

For some reason steps 2 and 3 can be quite troublesome… luckily today was one of those days that the checklist went well!

Linux is a woman

Filed under: Open Source, geek, humor, linux — hoanga @ 5:06 am

I love this quote

It’s obvious that GNU/Linux is a woman. She’s high maintenance, expects
everything to be given to her for free, and no matter what goes wrong…
it’s your fault.

A sad tale of technology dependence

Filed under: geek, humor, stupid, tech — hoanga @ 11:30 pm

I love technology misery stories for some reason. I guess working at a job where it is your job to expect things to break in weird ways does that to you… I guess we can reword that as

I LOVE corner cases

A sad tale of technology dependence

I made sure nobody was ever going to guess this password. Not even me.

And then I immediately forgot it.

To quote Simpson Garfinkel:

Authentication systems frequently fail because they are actually based on something that you have forgotten, something that you have lost, or something that you no longer are. Performance-based biometrics (e.g. keystroke dynamics) fail when they are based on something that you could once do well but can no longer do, or something that other people can do consistently, but you do erratically.
