  • Trying to suss out how to make good use of time to solve problems while in these meetings as powerpoint rolls for the first hour. Couldn’t a team post the meeting content including discussion points on github, and ancillary tagteam build a website solving problems raised in the meeting in two hours? It’s possible right? is this making sense? Fifty people sitting in a meeting, gotta be ten there who could contribute to problem solving issues stymying agency staff.


  • Loaded up 40something diskettes of Slackware, on a ship anchor of a PC in an effort to learn a Geographic Information System back in 1897, er I mean 1997. Pulled out chunks of hair trying to pick swap file sizes. Was dazed by /, /boot, /usr, /var,. Never got the GIS working. Sang magical incantations to bosses about how Linux would smite their god MSFT. And they laughed. You know the rest.
