Network Issues
-
Got in this morning to no e-mail, and a few other things missing. After an hour the e-mail came back and a load of Unix servers disappeared, including everything I need to do any work. Glancing towards the infrastructure end of the office fills me with no hope for the immediate future. At least internet has remained available so far, but I'm really getting bored about now. I've even resorted to starting my Christmas shopping online.
Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

Why? Christmas "shopping" on the internet is very manly. He probably knows exactly what he wants to buy, exactly where to buy it, and does so regardless of the cost and without looking for a better price somwehere else (which would actually constitute "shopping"). He calls it "shopping" just to give the less manly men here an identifiable frame of reference. After all, it worked for you.

Hey now, just because you have guns doesn't mean you're more of a man than I am. It just means you're more intimidating. //L
