Sometimes the squeaky wheel does get the grease. I had a 1:1 with my boss's boss (vice president) a couple weeks back and he asked if I was having any problems. I said 'yeah, my laptop keeps me from doing my job productively.' He said he had no problem getting me a better laptop and today it arrives. It's still not the highest end of the models but it's not a dual-core. Thus I'm happy applications will run faster and not crash so much (knock wood).

Golf clap...and yes, it is a much better laptop and I've already seen difference: I'm not waiting 2 min. for files to load. And I don't have all the issues with programs that I had with the other ones. So, getting more done and spending less time in the chair now.
Still working at this place. My boss quit and I took over her work. Might got into October now. So, from an income point of view that makes me happy.
IHB yesterday evening I solved a program problem between SAS ODS and the RTF file a program was creating. I was able to help the programmer without even seeing the code, so after determining that RTF was the type of output being produced, we dug into the structure of the program and found it had multiple parts. Fortunately we could add the right code in the right place to achieve the result the programmer wanted.
Justice? We'll see... I'll be happy if there are arrests. https://m.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/oct/6/netflix-indicted-child-porn -charges-over-cuties/

Shhhh He never does that. Doctored video. Also, he does not support the green new deal and he never said he will ban fracking. He will not pack the supreme court. He never threatened that prosecutor in the Ukraine. If you say otherwise, you'll be investigated. Netflix will never be punished. 30k emails, wiped phones, Weiner's laptop, fake dossier, illegal spying, on and on and on and on and on. There should be a GI Joe doll dressed in USSR Olympic running clothes that has a pull string that says: 'Some people did something' 'The new normal' 'It's been debunked' 'We are the winning team' 'it's a vast right wing conspiracy' 'we came, we saw, he DIED'
'The deal is this...'

Hi all. I heard about grex from SDF's bboard.
I'm happy because I have a working virtual network connection to a VAX that I'm emulating in simh, so I can get files and data in and out of it.
resp:191 Welcome, kj8am! Now you really are elite!
resp:192 Congratulations! An accomplishment to be proud of.
resp:192 Very good! Nice that you still can use a VAX and make it work!
Happy Veterans Day to tod and all the other veterans here at Grex!
Agreed! Happy Veterans Day (belated).
IHB because I interviewed for a position in another project at my current company and got the job. And better yet, this department says they generally don't have to work overtime. I guess, we'll see about the overtime, but less than we work now would be nice. It's another manager job, but just people this time, no need to help the programmers like I do currently. Hopefully will be good for another couple years or so.
Congratulations on that new position!
re #199 Congrats, Kent! Sounds like you can finally breath
Thanks! Looking forward to learning a new area and if people are reasonable that would be a big help.
Re. 199: Well done!
Thanks, Andy.
I'm happy because NetBSD/evbarm 9.2 seems to work on my Raspberry Pi 2B!
resp:205 Congratulations! :)
I used a Raspberry Pi 4 with Raspian as a full desktop replacement for a year with no real issues. Great little devices!
It's not as tiny as the NUC I had my eye on but I am happy because I was able to get NetBSD/amd64 9.2 onto a PC by burning it onto a CD-RW and installing from that.
IHB Christmas is tomorrow! Merry Christmas 2021 and a happy 2022 to all my fellow Grexers. Hang in there! It's almost over. ;)
Merry Christmas you to papa!
Tradition!
