Looks like everyone’s favorite software evangelist is going to keynote at 2600’s hope this year.  I might’ve worked on the networking over there (still might) but haven’t actually gotten any notification that the event’s occuring!  Odd how that works after volunteering last year.  I figured someone might at least blast out a mail on the […]

*cough* Still a bit under the weather, so no extended posts, yet.  But if you’re looking for a funny bit of IT humor El Reg has the latest installment of BOFH out.
