If he was the BOFH's boss, how come he's still alive? ;)
The Register disappears up its own fundament with a Y2K prank to make a BOFH's grinchy heart swell with pride
Welcome to Y2K, The Register's stagger through the events of two decades ago, some of which are perhaps a little closer to home than we'd thought. Today's Y2K shenanigans come from a reader we will call "Jim", who had the thankless task of upgrading the Solaris servers for an Australian telco. More than 3,000 of the things …

PFY's Evolve in to BOFH
I had a PFY once who was ready to evolve, when I moved on he took over my role and had his own PFY's to train, it is believed his last boss moved to Australia. Little did the new team I joined know I was a BOFH and would build a small team of PFY before I left there, causing something of a battle to claim the BOFH position resulting in 2 dead. Sometimes you do find bosses who were BOFH and retained that view, like my current boss, which makes things difficult for the survival of his boss and explains why no one has seen his previous boss in a long time. My new PFY starts shortly, although he is not aware what training awaits him...
