On the website, I am trying to encourage more comments and discussion, so for at least a time, I am going to disable the requirement to list an email address and name. Comments still have to be approved (to avoid spammers), and the auto-blocking tools are still in place (again, for spamming), but perhaps this…

Disaster Recovery
—
by
Alternating between minimal time, and way too much time waiting this week, with a work-related Disaster Recovery drill. For the company that I work a “real” job for, we perform an annual Disaster Recovery exercise.

Gencon 2019

Another Gencon is done, and our group managed to survive without casualties. Only major challenge was the loss of my credit card after the first night, which fortunately was only missing, and not stolen. Caused a bit of a disruption, but we were able to adapt. Unfortunately, what I was interested in sold rather quickly.…

Back to work

by
So my concerns about my past job turned out to be a bit premature – they came thru last week and finally managed to get the initial decision overturned. As a result, I am back to work as of today, with back-pay to be processed since the start of the “vacation”. Of course, now that…
