My life in words and images; a work in progress.

I Just Don't Know...

Systems Adminstrator's Blogs Are Boring.

This one, I'm sure, is no exception. Posts are often written at the end of a long working day; I'm frequently confused, drunk and alone.

Or am I?

That's Why It's So Big

So, I've taken a copy. It took ages.

vagabond% du morty.tar
4174618 morty.tar

That's just shy of 4 gigs. Guess what I found?

vagabond% ls /mnt/data/spool
alt             humanities      news            sci             talk
comp            misc            rec             soc

WTF? Some kind of snapshot of Usenet from 2003? LOL.

Greetings from the Burble Bin.

It's not much to look at, but it seems to do the job.

Or does it?

Here lies the archive of my mind.

I began this blog several years ago.

Isolated from social media due to a complex entanglement of real and imaginary threats to my person, my career and my pet cat, I needed a repository for my thoughts. What I'd forgotten is that I rarely have any worth writing down.

In these times of austerity, I'm very lucky to have a rolling contract with XenoPsyche, Inc. It's up for renewal in 2016, and I'm pretty sure they're not happy with my work. I must tell the world what I've learned, and this blog seemed best the way to do that.

Sadly, it's fallen into disuse. Nobody reads it, and I hardly ever update it.

Or do I?

Commercials!
