Rep Power: 9 | Electricity !? Oh...how we would have loved to have to discover electricity. Back in our day, we had to pay them to let us discover fire, then we would work on other research for 25 hours a day, for tuppence a year, come home where our fathers would beat us to death with a chainsaw and dance merry hell on our graves |

Rep Power: 9 | Two jobs... 1. Throw servers out of window 2. Throw client machines out of window Woohoo! Then no more things can go wrong!! No computers, no problems (for me anyway). We are designing a poster for my office door that says: - "Before knocking, please check the following: - Have you tried turning it off and on again? - Are you sure it is plugged in?" While taken from "the IT crowd", I think it will cut my work by 50%, haha. |
