Interesting. Both the idea of sys/network admins being primadonnas,
and that they cannot be trusted yet can be controlled by intimidation.

NOTHING helps keep sysadmins in line. They are born without fear, or have it

Amateur.

I find that a healthy sense of terror helps keep sysadmins in line. It
also helps if they don't think of you as the manager but as the BOFH
keeping an eye on them.

For some reason, reading IG's message reminded me of the below quote:

"We've all heard the "herding cats" analogy with regard to managing
programmers. Managing sysadmins is like leading a neighborhood gang of
neurotic pumas on jet-powered hoverbikes with nasty smack habits and
opposable thumbs. Oh, and as a manager you're a neurotic junkie puma

Very disappointing. More enthusiasm than evil. Why is the immediate reaction

There is a distinct impression of discomfort. That is not, emphatically not 
canonical. Our received and acknowledged villain, the Sir Jaspers, are far more 
assured and leisurely in their approach to all things, mirth included. They 
know, with absolute conviction, that it is their earth, that they are the

One should like to see another, thought through attempt. The energy and 
enthusiasm are welcome; who would question these considering the very heavy 
torque involved in a turn of the traditional screw (no, not that screw, the 
rack and pinion sort is what is meant). The tempo is not.

Ah, tempo! As great artists from Casanova to Tamerlane have known, tempo is 
everything. We need tempo, but we need the precise tempo that this situaetion 
demands. It is not the carefree, childlike, skip-stepping, lilting air of the 
Seventh Symphony. No, not at all, it is the Hall of the Mountain King, the 
tempo ladelled out with thick contempt that we seek. It is a clearly dominating 
tempo that we seek, a tempo redolent with lazy amusement at the unavailing 
flutters of the trapped victim, richly laden with contentment at the way that 
Fate drives these little morsels into one's mouth.

And what about the rich overtones of evil? The cruel anticipation of the impact 
of the rare Oriental spice on the unsuspecting palate of the gaijin? No, no, 
this won't do. Re-do it please.

Only way to validate that assumption: find out what others say. Hence one of

work in a Michelin 3-star rated kitchen, and create one special one-off

Failing which, eat in every M 3 star kitchen in the world in one year.

Re: [silk] What's on your "bucket list"?

[Charles Haynes]

I don't have a long list of things I want to do before I die, detailed
requirements are a trap. :)

I do know what I would like to do next short term and long term. Short
term I'd like to explore southern Tasmania a bit. Expect to do that
this weekend.

Long term I'd like to live in China for a while.

Oh! And I'd like to eat at Alinea, Can Fabes, and Noma.

What's on *your* bucket list?

I get to see that regularly already, though I don't find it boring. :)

for some on this list it'll probably mean investing in a cryogenic
technology

for me, its to leave my family self sufficient

i dont have any burning ambition as such, that i'd put it on a bucket list
and do it before I die. everything I need and like to do, I have done
and/or I do every day.

probably one thing i'd do is travel back to every single damn city i've
visited only to attend meetings and spend a week in each city seeing the
sights.

rather poor material for a bucket list but what the hell.

me too. but what the hell. if i die and go to heaven there'll be an
eternity of boredom watching apsaras dance, or if i go to hell there's a
few seconds between each torture that turns up. might as well be stuck in
limbo - which i already feel like I am, at times.

To not kick the bucket. At least, not permanently.

(I'm also interested in doing some nano and AI work, but
realistically, that's not going to happen).
