I love new toy day

I need to make time to come back to this. I really think i’m onto something here.

shit dawg, thanks - I finally escaped vi!

I really wanted to love it. I daily drove it for productivity for almost 4 months and it was great but there are still some rough edges that would annoy me to no end. maybe they’ve been fixed.

Happy birthday to Arch Linux, btw! 🗿😘

Feel like its a ploy to keep open source from gaining traction in the desktop space.
It puts jo barriers for linux as devs need to implement the restrictions, while Micro$lop and Tim Apple have heaps of cash to toss at the problem.

Arch purists aren’t the arbiters of kernel truth. Dont let the mouth breathing basement dwellers get you down. They’re just mad because someone is enjoying the same experience with less pain. Same vibe as “Kids are too soft - they should suffer like me!”.

Spent the day filling out applications, again.
Not 90 mins later - rejected
There is not a goddamn chance in hell a person looked at it. This is the most demoralizing experience of my life.

right?! i know!! I love the ingenuity, but I’m scared of the conditions that created it.

I implore the creator of this cursed object to please come forward and tell me why?!

all i know, is it worked. Record your voice with it, and when the number was called that was attached to that line on the 66 block, it triggered the thing to play the audio back on the line to the caller.
there are many simpler ways to do this. the fact they made their own, is honestly impressive

my autistic ass said it out loud to the ceo of the company I worked for when he invited me to ride in his brand new ‘15 Escalade. He was genuinely insulted. I said he deserved better.

this is -the- best advertisement. Harry’s glasses are sending me rn 💀

I kinda wish this caught on and evolved into a label. sick of digging through my drives, pluggin’ em in, just to find out its the wrong one.

I wish id met the madlad who came up with this. If you’re on here, please claim it. It’s occupied a special place in my mind since I took this photo years ago.

a project box with a yakbak2 attached to it, surgically altered, and spliced to a 66 block. this is the most cursed auto attendant id ever seen.

Speaking of PBXs, did i ever tell you about the YakBak auto attendant?
Yes. You heard me.
Yes. it worked.

I absolutely love and hate telco for this reason. it got me in this career so I should be thankful, but if you know… well… I could do less frustrating things to myself.

An AT&T, no wait, Avaya, wait no… Lucent partner system

since the last PBX I posted seemed to be so popular, heres another you fiends.

I recall my elementary school had a cart of these things we'd use to type papers in english class. Used to have to stand in front of the Laser Writer printer because it could only use IR to transfer data. What a time.

such is the way of the network engineer

yes. yes it was. it was in a factory that handled radioactive waste material, too. no expense spared here.
