  • Old me would’ve been all about such a nice upgrade, but now that I’ve been upgraded to 1G/1G Google Fiber in the first place earlier this year, I’m just happy to have that.

    Even with more equipment besides that which they provide upgraded, it would be hard to notice a difference most of the time and wouldn’t be worth the extra $55 a month. It is nice knowing it’s an option in case I outgrow 1 Gbps. My current fileserver when I do a zfs send command piped into xz with -9 compression to send to backblaze b2, is still a little slower than 300 Mbps.


  • On the technicians line of an electronics manufacturing facility, had a new hire come in on his first day. He was friendly. So much so that he wanted to use my workstation to log into his Yahoo mail and show me some pictures some female sent him. He calls up the photos and it’s full nudity real big on my computer monitor. I tell him “dude, we can’t have porn at work, close that out.” He panics and turns off the monitor. At some point I have to turn the monitor and close out of the browser, when no one is looking.

    He was showing a pretty inattentiveness to his first day on the job training just not seeming to want to have anything to do that’s any kind of actual work.

    Before the lunch break, he announced that he’s going to the restroom, then is never seen again. All I could tell the supervisor was that he said he was going to the restroom hours ago then haven’t seen him since.
