Wow.

Good morning, #nostriches!

I'm not sure if I've ever posted any pics of aluminum welds they aren't as pretty as stainless, but, gosh, getting welds like the following is still really darn satisfying!

I love days when I can just show up and lay down tons of welds like this without any BS getting in the way. 😁

Not intentional at all

Or a bock with cherry liquor

I think I had too much hot toddy, but the house is cold and I'm a fun drunk, so oh well.

I am kind of an IT Boomer because I started working in the 90s, so I learned all of the old stuff.

It's getting harder and harder to find someone who's dealt with live COBOL mainframes or PowerBuilder systems, for instance, or databases with a Basic front-end.

I'm loving the hobo student life, but sometimes I see stuff like this and feel bad for not working. It's so hard to not feel like I'm letting people down. People have their lives ruined or even die after stuff like this.

I just offered a job to tighten up data security at the state registry office and turned it down and they got a bit hysterical because they can't find anyone and have all these old systems and are drowing in data, but I get so tired of everyone expecting me to do everything and guilt-tripping me. 😭

Where are the other analysts? Why does stuff like this ever happen? I don't understand. I just don't understand.

Personal data should not be leakable.

Better yet, try to never collect it, in the first place.

I do think the movie missed an opportunity. They had Paul threaten to nuke the spice fields, because they didn't take time to explain the relationship between the spice and water on Arrakis.

Young people don't like going out as often.

I like the *idea* of it, but it's so expensive, so it can be hard to get friends to go with.
