I was about to say something about running Linux on my raspberry pi, but now you all have me concerned that the militant vegans are about to show up.

I'm getting ready to set up a PiZero running Linux at a vaca home so I can review syslogs for power "events" I suspect are happening.

But if I'm not around when the vegans drop by, will I still be annoyed?

I know this is supposed to be about the small scratch at the wheel well opening, but am I the only one who sees the scary clown face?

Reading some folks posts is like picking up Clockwork Orange all over again. I can easily read all the words, but as a sentence, I've only got the gist of an implication.

At least Clockwork had a glossary in the back.

One week, I crawled under a desk to find that a scanner was not working because the user had repeatedly forced the usb cable into their now-completely-destroyed spare display port. The next week, I was notified by their supervisor that they had requested a second monitor.

We used to interview kids for in-house tech support jobs and I would wait until everyone else had asked all their questions of the candidate and then I would ask one question. "If a user calls you and says email is down, what is the first thing you do?". If they said anything besides check their own email first, it was thumbs down. Another was, "What is the first thing you ask a user to do when troubleshooting any workstation issue remotely over the phone?". Anything besides "reboot" was a disappointment.

I always made them delete their temp files and disable all the stupid garbage they'd installed before a reboot...

“Email has been down half the day!”

“That’s awful, did I miss you telling me this somehow?

“How was I supposed to tell you if I can’t email you??!!”

Literally two office doors down.

With a telephone.

Coffee. Because murder is somehow frowned upon.

COMET CURSOR!

We had that, or something like it, probably on our win98 machine.

I shutter to think what malware was installed with it.
