This is quite possibly my favourite thread ever on Twitter. It speaks to the utter pessimism most IT Ops people have about their systems and what can and will ultimately go wrong (apols for GiF from the wrong HHGTTG) (well, wrong apart from Ms Deschanel)

Late to the party but sat at home full of a cold with a log fire blazing and a hot water bottle, so finally stuck Top Gun Maverick on. Quality retro nonsense, utter escapism. Dambusters > 633 Squadron > Star Wars > Maverick (and that's just fine)

Dear Giant Bicycles this is your regular reminder to start offering the Defy Advanced Pro as a frameset already! (you already do for Propel, Revolt, TCR, etc so why not Defy?)

Based on this, I reckon Ty Hill could do a decent job at scrum half bbc.co.uk/sport/av/ameri…

And I'm done. See yous on Mastodon

Really hope that this is a new dawn for Coventry City supporters, they've suffered enough and deserve better. They took the SISU bullet intended for my club and have been royally fucked over ever since.

Space may be hard, but clearly NASA think Oracle licensing is harder. Just like us, they're not alone - this lack of focus on SAM is pretty endemic across US Federal agencies. There's also a strong alignment with tech/engineer-led startups elsewhere. Admin rights still important.

Who knew "run a couple of checklists" was pilot speak for change our shorts? This was about ten seconds short of Tenerife '77. Good job all round.

MvdP doing a decent Marc Márquez impression here in sunny Benidorm. Only a couple of BHP here though.

Food for thought on a Monday morning. Feels like people are waking up to cloud costs at last.

Hey The Register are you aware of this huge change to Oracle Java licensing. Switch from Processers/Users to Employees. Oh and employees includes all, including those at third parties, not just those who use Java. Multi-million dollar impact for large firms.

Hey RAF_Luton plenty of comedy gold opportunities here. Olympus, David Bailey, etc etc

I wish Apple and others would offer a slow ship option. I've got a custom Mac on the way. Just left Shenzhen. Will be on my desk Thursday morning. Madness, caused by the tight integration of Apple kit (16GB rather 8GB memory means it comes from China rather being held in stock)

It's not just Marc Márquez who gets his knee down in blue and orange. Those lean angles at approaching 100kph on a 3cm contact patch are terrifying

Your regular reminder that when your web hosting or email is unreliable the answer is "It's always DNS". Appear to be significant issues at GoDaddy this morning which means itassetmanagement.net may be occasionally unavailable.

Utterly chilling. In less than a month I'll be presenting at a conference at an FLA university. The people there are genuinely open, warm, and welcoming. Just wondering if my rainbow laces will get past border control.

If you're interested in making IT more sustainable and looking for metrics to prove it, this is a great place to start.

Like wheel truing but for a different sport. Same skill level.
