Well, crap. Email is down here at work and though I can still access the net, it seems our servers are being punks. It’s actually not that bad considering the IT guys are installing a new Xserve, but in an era of instant gratification everyone seems to want email NOW! Especially since we should write back our clients as quickly as we can.
Did anybody notice the little Apple tagline on the Xserve page: “Blazingly fast architecture. Now even more blazing.”? I thought that was funny, and not because I was (am?) a stoner. Okay, well, that maybe helps… but I just think it would be funny to be an IT guy and think, “Dammit! Our server needs to BLAZE more! BLAZE, DAMN YOU! Why aren’t you BLAZING!?” and then, with the Apple solution, having testimonials of IT pros in quotes on the Apple page:
“I always thought our servers should blaze more, and I was always looking for ways to make it blaze harder and faster. Then I got an Xserve, and now it blazes like a champ! Thanks, Apple!” -Mark, webmaster for Portland Trail Blazers
blaze blaze blaze blaze blaze blaze. That word sounds weird now, doesn’t it?
On an only remotely related note, I was reading Lifehacker’s article on how to fix up a cubicle and I wondered, how many of us 20-somethings work in a cubicle? I don’t. If you do, does your office let you decorate your cubicle? Would they let you do these kinds of things to it?
…I just realized that this entry was very ADD. I suppose loading up on caffeine and then all of a sudden being unable to perform certain important work tasks (eg., emailing), leads to a frantic dip in the blog-ocean in place of emailing.
I wonder if it works now…? Yep.
Ok, back to work.
[edit] Ugh. Let’s get rid of the Javascript on the menu on the left, it’s bogging everything down pretty hardcore.[/edit]
How can something be more blazing? Either it’s blazing or it’s not, yes?
I’m a stoner too, cheers. :)
Cheers to you too, Moxie!
I guess if one is already blazing, to be “more blazing” is somewhat akin to taking another rip…?
