Retired telco night shift TAC supporting DNS, load balancers, yadda, yadda. Haven't yet remembered how not to write in MOP. Yeah, I miss my F5 babies, but the days are still packed. No, I don't really miss Infoblox and yes I do think that Secure64 abandoned a superior OS. Call me crazy.

And thanks to someone for the reminder that I'm more interesting than my job... Which I no longer even possess... Nowadays, I bake, hike, love all doggos unreservedly, help people get to their doctor's appointments, sell records, and try to get through the pile of library books that I shouldn't have taken out all at once.

“But I am a hater, which is a kind of integrity. It means I am willing to disagree with anyone, even if it is rude. “But I only use it to–” “Actually if you just—” “The new models–” “I was making fun–” Stop. You’re embarrassing yourself. I am embarrassed for you.” http://anthonymoser.github.io/writing/ai/haterdom/2025/08/26/i-am-an-ai-hater.html

What a beautiful paragraph.

I Am An AI Hater

I am an AI hater. This is considered rude, but I do not care, because I am a hater.

Rolling into a certain Midwestern city, round a turn on the highway, and the Long Lines building looms, AT&T logo watching over us. Wondering how many times I've been overawed by that nearly blank brick wall stretching deep into the sky, new #superchunk starts playing, "And every crushing night leads to another endless day / Singing / No hope, no hope, no hope..."

And it's lovely. And we'll keep on singing. And I wonder if these old wheels can clear the topmost antenna.

Death Star to the right and straight on til morning.

Boomer would like to go inside, but she wants to be with us so if we're not going inside she wants to be as inside as possible.

I just learned the words "botlicker" and "slopholm syndrome" and my life is better for it.

#PSA: You are more interesting than your job.

#Tip: When someone asks "what do you do?", tell them about your weird bug collection, or your last hike, or that cool series you pirated recently.
