The HHGttG logo, only instead of saying “Don’t Panic ”, it says “Don’t PHP” #PHP To my fellow sysadmin friends, you have my permission to panic, today. And to have a pint or 20. Probably a good day to put your towel over your head (you do have a towel, right?). AFTER you update PHP and your certs

The clear vinyl sleeve hadn’t even had time to properly stick to the Polaroid on her WH credentials yet. At least maybe they can reuse the lanyard for the next fool? It probably still has that “new lanyard” smell.

Watching “influencers” who didn’t get an iPhone Duo order for delivery on launch day have an absolute meltdown; is WAY more entertaining than drinking unicorn tears.

I spent the better part of Friday going up and down a ladder and standing for long stretches on ladder rungs, working on cctv cameras. The arches of my feet hurt so bad I can’t sleep now. *whimper*

I don’t always make good decisions. But the best decision I’ve ever made in my life happened 23 years ago when I replied to a simple “Hi” online from the man who is now my husband. I can’t imagine what life would be like without him. #Anniversary

To borrow a quote from Betty Davis (given the subject, I don’t think she would mind): “You should never say bad things about the dead, you should only say good... Lindsey Graham is dead. Good.”

An open letter to every online retailer: *clears throat* The package has been “shipped”, when it leaves your possession and is handed to the carrier. Most of you are grown adults and should know this. Clean up your act! 😠 2/2

An open letter to every online retailer: *clears throat* Generating a shipping label and therefore a tracking number; then leaving the package in your “to go to the post office” pile, DOES NOT equate to “package shipped”! 1/2

I bought a radio communications service monitor today on eBay, and I am not going to be able to sleep until it gets here. This piece of test equipment has been on my dream equipment list for years! 🤓 *squeeee*

@wilwheaton.net I just watched your video with Mayim Bialik where you mentioned an artist Marconi Union and an album that helps you. Would you mind sharing which of their albums you were thinking of in that interview? I’d like to give it a listen.

Today is my and Brad’s first anniversary of being married. 🥰 We’d been together since 2003, and consider the day in July that we met (I knew by the end of our first date I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him), and have always considered that day as our anniversary. Now we have two. 🤷‍♂️😊

Happy #caturday to all who celebrate. #FourTheCat is celebrating with his elebenty bazmillionth nap of the day. He kindly requests that you keep your celebrations quiet, as being this cute takes a lot of energy and he needs his beauty rest. 🙃

Today is the only football game of the year that I care anything about. The Georgia Tech #YellowJackets vs the U(sic)GA (aka The Athens Cow College) Bulldogs. #GoJackets #CleanOldFashionedHate

Camera/ham radio battery. Back up and running again. I finally found a replacement for the old, dead battery pack inside the case. 12vdc@2AH. Woohoo! #repair #photography #hamradio #repairnotreplace

So. Where does that line form for the 1M people who are leaving NYC now that Cuomo lost?…?? Which TV network is live streaming the roads clogged with U-haul trucks and moving vans? 😑

I’m not a sportsball person. But I am a #georgiatech #yellowjacket. Any day where GT football wins is a good day. Any day where GT wins and U(sic)GA looses, is a great day. Today was a good day, and it was *almost* a great day. Good job today, #Jackets. Better luck next time, #UGA.

“You should never say bad things about the dead, you should only say good... Jamea Dobson is dead. Good. “ Apologies to Betty Davis for changing her quote. I don’t think she would mind.
