   I worked for a place where our internet was bad, but not that bad. We were coming up to a release and things were fubar. I asked the network guy to find what was up - a guy that reported to me was torrenting child porn.

   Yes. I liked Merlin Mann, so I listened a lot of his stuff. I also liked ATP and CGP Grey's two podcasts. It was fun a couple years ago. As things get worse, it's less fun.

   Delta always seems to land at the gate in Belgium, you walk over to Amsterdam, then walk to the baggage claim over in Rotterdam. Every time I fly in, I’m amazed at how much time we spend taxiing and how far from passport control our luggage

    I'm with you. I look at what I've done with all my "free time" and I can't help but think - maybe I can't cure cancer, but I could have helped the person that would?

    I want to be able to put the images I want in the exact place that I want with cut lines and the like; I also want mail merge to work correctly. I also want duplex color printing. I'm fairly close; Microsoft Publisher almost does what

    If you buy cheap Bluetooth OBD-II dongles, you'll find they all have the same addresses. That's why you can't buy two dongles and use them in two cars without re-associating each time, for instance. If you buy the $150 dongle

    I worked for CTLT at WSU for two years - 2003[0] - 2005. Distance learning is hard, and I feel like people are not appreciating how difficult assessment is. There is a book on this[1] which covers a bunch of finicky stuff; we used a much ea

    I've been WFH for over five years and I've turned down several opportunities to work in an office for significantly more money. Agency is worth a lot to me.

    I used to mod /r/answers. It took over my life, in a bad way. There is (or was) next to no support from paid staff on serious problems.

    I stopped blogging because I don't think the world needs - or wants - my hot takes. I re-posted some things[0] that I refer to in the outside world; right now I'm digging into Honda Telematics[1]. That might end up on the blog, or
