On a lighter note compared to my last two…

Some people are like a Slinky. They really have no purpose, but you can’t but help smile when you push them down the stairs

So I thought yesterday was bad, but that wasn’t the end of it. That’ll teach me to post how bad my day is going by 11am. After that, I got a new server build dropped in my lap. This isn’t usually too bad, but it was one of those “we have to [...]

Or at least my brain has gone. I think the last month or so has taken its tool on the old grey matter, and it’s gone on vacation. I cannot get anything going. I seem to have a total lack of motivation, though I want to do “stuff”, I just don’t know [...]
