This morning tried to make it so i could ssh into my work computer (they disable that by default). Eventually, I gave up. Then, I told tech support what I’d tried and asked them to configure it so that I could log in and accomplish shit when not sitting at my desk.
They promptly made it impossible for me to log in while sitting at it also.
I have not accomplished a single $@#% thing today even though I really wanted to. And I’m sick of surfing. And it’s time to go home.

Does anyone else find this collection of names odd? I make one comment* about a coffee machine and that’s the result on Plurk. There was no response on Twitter. Is there some cultural connection between people with Arabic and Indian sounding names and French, or coffee, of which I am unaware? And why only a response on Plurk?
* Side note: why can’t I link to past plurks but I can to past tweets?
[Update] MKB has shared the magic incantation for linking to a specific plurk.
6 months agoAs I reached into the toaster, frustrated with the smell of recently cleaned cat-box, I reached in to the toaster: a finger lightly brushing heated metal. Instincts kicked in. My hand jerked back, while fingers spasmed(sp?), releasing their payload in an upward arc, a parabolic curve that ended precisely in the beasts’ water dish.
Did you know that Eggos disintegrate just like toilet paper when immersed in water?
