Many moons ago I worked in a Warehouse in Uxbridge. One of the guys there would push the same bit of dirt around all day with his broom. After months of flogging my guts out I finally burst and said "How the feck do you get away with doing nothing all day except leaning on that broom!" he replied "Nobody questions someone who is sweeping up or holding a clipboard."

Fast forward 40 years and today in the office it is: "Nobody questions someone looking at their smart phone." ๐Ÿ˜’

I may have just put a revamped site live. I'm now waiting for people to start screaming that their feeds have burst into life and they are downloading my 15 minutes of fame from two years ago. LOL

For the love of the pond gods! I'm fed up with web developers who tell (our) customers "Well, it's a bespoke site which requires some specific features when it comes to hosting. We can host it for you if you move over to us."

It's a bog standard site you lying scumbag!

REQUIREMENTS:
PHP >= 7.1.3
OpenSSL PHP Extension
PDO PHP Extension
Mbstring PHP Extension
Tokenizer PHP Extension
XML PHP Extension
Ctype PHP Extension
JSON PHP Extension

Host server maintenance finished with less than 30 seconds of downtime ๐Ÿ˜Ž

From my end it looks good, let me know if there is any problem on your end.

Today is a whole new day: Welcome to yet another chance to redeem yourself.

I have admitted defeat and put the desktop fan on. โ˜€๏ธ

Seriously: You can understand how people come to work one day and shoot all their colleagues!

OneDrive is basically a Hard Drive, there is a server somewhere that offers out that drive.

STOP TRYING TO TELL ME ONEDRIVE IS A SEPARATE ENTITY TO A SERVER, YOU'RE DOING MY HEAD IN!

I know we're all supposed to not say that any particular colour is gender specific these days but my @creativecommons t-shirt (I buy a new one for every OggCamp) is very pink which is a shame as some artist dude designed it. ๐Ÿ˜Ÿ

"Hmm? What have I done Linux'y today?"

"Umm? used it at work?"

/me waves to the Mastodon community.

@theru Come to OggCamp I'd love to see you again.

Apparently holding up a piece of my peeling skin and saying "Look! A human flag" is disgusting. ๐Ÿ‘ฟ

Hmm? Mastodon.org.uk is up and down again like Tower Bridge this morning. ๐Ÿ˜ž

Gooooood morning Mastodonians! May the pond gods smile on you today.

That moment when you see someone studying the writing on CAT5 cable from a box clearly marked what it is!
