Take a hint people…Posted by Synfinatic on October 8, 2007 at 11:07 pm in It's Funny, Life.This says it all:
NBC: Not Bright CorrespondentPosted by Synfinatic on August 5, 2007 at 10:40 am in It's Funny.“A LOT OF MAKEUP can make you prettier, but it won’t make you smarter. Michelle Madigan, Associate Producer for Dateline NBC found this out the hard way at Defcon.” What I don’t get is that Madigan knew going into DefCon that her secret was blown. The conference administrators asked her four times if she wanted a press pass, but she declined. Before each presentation, a slide with her picture was posted warning conference attendees who she was, but she still tried to walk around undercover. Not very bright.
Trying to buy a homePosted by Synfinatic on June 25, 2007 at 8:24 pm in It's Funny, Life, Rant.So my wife and I found a nice home up in the Santa Cruz Mountains which we really liked. Since Murphy’s Law is in effect, the owners had to be TCHOFH (The Crazy Home Owners From Hell). Anyways, rather then trying to explain the long and drawn out process, my friend Eric summarized our ordeal in a few lines: let put this in terms i can understand: me: how much for this rug?
How not to treat developersPosted by Synfinatic on March 13, 2007 at 10:08 pm in It's Funny, tcpreplay.I’m not sure what happened last week, but it seems that the difficult users all decided to come out of the woodwork all at once. Maybe it had something to do with the phase of the moon or the change in daylight savings time? For those of you not paying close attention, I’m referring to these tickets. So not to make this a rant (I think I’ve done that enough), this is just a friendly reminder that Free/Open Source Software developers are: Not your slave
When UPS’s failPosted by Synfinatic on December 15, 2006 at 11:53 am in It's Funny, Life.Yes, synfin.net was offline for about 8-1/2 hours due to my UPS failing. Oh the irony! Not sure why it’s dead, but it won’t even supply power when plugged into AC. So, everything hooked up to my UPS (my firewall and server) went offline just after midnight. Anyways, everything is back up… guess I know what to spend my Fry’s gift certificate on!
How not to find great employeesPosted by Synfinatic on October 20, 2006 at 4:45 pm in /dev/random, It's Funny.I won’t name any names, but I came across a job posting which required two rather highly sought-after skills in today’s market, neither of which is particularly common. They were very specific about what a great job it was, how you would be worked like a dog, and how they were only interested in people with previous experience. Then they laid out this lovely gem (emphasis added): Yep, that’s what I always look for in a job: Hard work, previous experiance reqiured and you’ll be able to find better pay just about anywhere else.
Murphy gets me again…Posted by Synfinatic on July 17, 2006 at 8:43 pm in It's Funny, tcpreplay.Yep… I do the first release of tcpreplay in nearly a year and what happens? I find out that it has a huge bug which probably prevents it from compiling on anyone’s computer except my development box. *sigh* Anyways, 3.0.beta9 is out so go get it. On a side note, I got some spam today which included the graphic below; the rest was in russian and I have no idea what (if anything) they were selling, but this was classic:
Headhunters!Posted by Synfinatic on July 6, 2006 at 7:58 am in It's Funny, Rant.Got a phone call from a headhunter yesterday. I’m not sure if this is really a rant or just funny watching the headhunter squirm, I’ll let you decide. Conversation went sorta like this: Me: Hello? Tags: headhunters, job
