Have you praised your SysAdmin yet? I’m sick to death of his half-arse approach to everything, his slack, lazy attitude in carrying out even routine maintenance, and his sheer incompetence in almost every slightly “technical” task I require of him. (yep, I’m my own sysadmin).

Did you appreciate the poor souls that are keeping the fragile construct that is called “internet” running recently? I’ve worked at a really low level with electronics and sometimes even machine code for integrating hardware across the ‘net. While my wife complains on the odd occasion that her wifi runs a little slowly, I’m constantly amazed that anything works at all!

Have you read “Bastard Operator from Hell (BofH)”? The what now? I’d never even heard of it. Even after a quick Google and reading the wiki pages, I’m not clearer as to what/who it is.

 

I’ve had a bit of a @sundancer moment in recent weeks, and not really painted anything for a while. That said, I *did* fire up my resin printer last night (just to keep it moving and stop it “seizing up” through lack of use I guess!) and left it running overnight; this morning I woke up to a Luke, slave Leia, 2 x Gammorean Guards, Bib Fortuna and, in honour of @warzan ‘s cosplay, some alien dude that looks a bit like his Po Clown (but isn’t Po Kloon). So I guess this week’s pledge should be to get them painted up, even if I don’t get the rest of Jabba’s Palace done (though I might just spend some time messing about with modelling foam and have a go at building a stone palace diorama….

 

Have we had this one yet?
