Re: soldering - no no

Yes they are "stupid" here as well reiterate "unemployable out side the box". I have had female travellers arriving here America Samoa and these knuckle heads will even go through their used underwear. WTF.

They will never return. Ok got my Govmint paycheck; TSA application form no brain required and snooping on people over cell phones and anything with a camera connected to the net for their own pleasure and use.

Re: Theatrical theater.

Send me 10 then a mix of biglies an smallies. Address Chump Tower NYC. I promise, promise to pay you...Your friend DC (pun intended)

Re: Hmmmm

Had a 3.5 hooked up to BBC Micro. It was like wow! Getting old...

BOFH: That's right. Turn it off. Turn it on

Re: Then there's change control idiocy...

Yes breaking the status quo for the embedded( even a millisecond) can cause extreme anxiety, fear, insecurity e.t.c . IT (the unknown whatever to most) should flow on forever transparently.

Touche Simon! It is all about perception (whatever that is?)

Re: Another useless gadget

I can up add my Seiko Kinetic Auto Relay has been going for 20 years, no battery needed and no repairs.

Job alert: Is this the toughest sysadmin role on Earth? And are you badass enough to do it?

Happy

Same here in SUNNY Samoa. Low pay but that is the price to pay; besides "No one " knows what I do.

Electronics Tech, Sys Admin. The wire guy the call me.

73's

OK

All true,

Think I will stay here in the Tropics and am considering Nevada or Arizona for retirement; old age problems. Need that dry heat!

Memories...

I used to work at Himatangi Radio Station New Zealand back in "77 last century.

The Station was full of HF transmitters from 100KW down to a meager 5KW for ship to shore comms.

The RCA used for Scott base for 50KW and seemed to get through for SSB and Telex quite well.

Anyhow us Radio Techs could and would if selected go to the base for winter overs usually 6 moths to a year if you were still sane by then. As for the booze, no beer as the plane to there was not pressurised in the cargo hold.

This is the order that hooch was consumed; Spirits, Top Shelf (Liquors), then 150 drivers lastly (medical alcohol and orange mix).

Returnees usually required quite a long drying out time upon return =)

Sysadmin ignores 25 THOUSAND patches, among other sins

Idiot BOY was probably underpaid and completely peed off at finding about useless Nepo./Croney incomes.

And... The Tech challenged (read Owners/Management) just do not have a clue as it far beyond them.

Ride the "wave" Been there and done that.
