My latest brain droppings
  • 10:47 In class: The consultant teacher pronounces "Linux" as "LEE-nucks" [cringe] #
  • 10:48 In class: The consultant teacher pronounces "CentOS" as "sen-TOSS" [cringe] #
  • 10:49 In class: The consultant teacher pronounces "cron" as "krowhn" (as in "moan") [cringe] #
  • 11:21 In class: I have now decided to pronounce things, "Wine-DOHSS" and "Meh-CROW-soft" in retaliation. #
  • 13:26 In class: I shit you not, our teacher is describing his 12 year old lesbian daughter's woes and how he'd hide bodies on his property. #
  • 19:26 In class: The teacher tried to recruit me in some consulting referral group. What a banner day this has been. #
  • 19:27 When Douglas Adams died, I thought, "There goes my chance at being on a panel with him." I spoke too soon. See me at Balticon for details. #

You ever listen to a parent complain about their kids, and within a few sentences, you're completely unconvinced the kids are at fault?

To diagram his thoughts:
+ My daughter is seeing a psychiatrist
- Because I don't know what's wrong with her.
- She's crazy.
- They don't know what's wrong with her, either.
- My wife is useless in matters of parenting.
+ My daughter is a lesbian
- She is experimenting
- She is 12
- She is 13
- I forbid her seeing girls
- I forbid her seeing boys, which is maybe why she's seeing girls
- She's seeing a psychiatrist, but he's useless
- My wife is stupid
+ If I catch my daughter making out with anyone
- I will kill her lover
- I own property where I can hide bodies.
- They dug up some trees that have made some very deep holes.
- The holes are the size of bodies
- I have a tractor

Then we got him back on topic of managing Virtualized environments.

I always thought it was pronounced like that, but I find now I was wrong!

I'm sorry I doubted you Punkie.

Now I must share this knowledge with the other people I know who pronounce it wrong!

It sounds like Torvalds has changed his pronunciation since moving to California.

Oh, that'll be one great panel.

Punkie: OK, so the question was "Do you see any parallels between the current economic crisis and the destruction of the Earth by the Vogons? Douglas?"

Douglas Adams: ...

Punkie: Um....OK. Well, next question. "Some people have called George W. Bush a living version of Zaphod Beeblebrox. Do you agree?"

Douglas: ...

Punkie: Hmm...you know, maybe this wasn't such a hot idea. Oh, and sorry about the smell; the air conditioners aren't working....still...
