I went into construction, and then industrial alpinism with tree-trimming inclination starting 2016.
But before I did that, the one-before-the-last place I've tried to work was this hostile environment where everything was Windows and MS-based, as far as what we were meant to use for work. I couldn't bring my own lappy.
I ended up writing an AutoHotkey script that would get mouse scrolling about 80% sane and manage my clipboard.
I set up a VM on our HPC cluster, on which I'd do my actual work by way of VNC and sometimes SSH. The LAN was OK, so it ended up being less laggy than Windows on my local machine.
But I suppose a local Q frontend to a VM hosted on my work lappy would have worked too. Virtualize the AV away, yeah.
Cheers.
- richjdsmith 8y agoWhat is industrial alpinism?
- heronymus 8y agoI think it means workers who, for example, climb on industrial chimneys for maintenance.
- de_watcher 8y agoBasically anywhere where you're paid for your alpinist skills. Mounting/dismounting things up there. There was an example like cleaning up the walls of an old fortress from grass.
- godDLL 8y agoI go up a rope or down a rope. Up a tree or a building, down a building/wall or a well. Do some tree trimming, sometimes construction tasks. Mounting stuff disassembling stuff, sending it down, or up another rope. Fun stuff. Do an internet search for TreeUp.

I used to run AlwaysMouseWheel to fix up focus scrolling, but forgot to set it up after my last reinstall. Thanks for the reminder! :) http://www.softwareok.com/?Download=AlwaysMouseWheel http://www.softwareok.com/?Download=AlwaysMouseWheel As for the other stuff, ugh. I've made it a general rule not to work anywhere where I don't get root on my own box.
