Where does Eileen work?

IHOP.

Haha, I remember that 500-mile email story. Classic!

I recently placed an order with Dell, but kept getting messages that they couldn’t process it. After spending five hours on the phone with multiple customer support people, they finally told me it was because my billing address was different than my shipping address, and that I wasn’t allowed to do that.

Navy recently raised their enlistment age cap to 42. They’re currently the only service to do so, that I know of.

Edit: As far as I know, the enlistment age cap for most other services is 39, and the officer candidacy age cap is 35. There’s variations and waivers though, depending on your situation.

Various reasons. Mainly the benefits. Tricare health insurance for the family. Post-9/11 GI Bill for the kid. Having a security clearance will also open up some IT job opportunities for me.

Turned 41 this year. I was a moderately successful website developer and high school computer science teacher. Next month I’m joining the navy. Should be fun.

Keep us posted.

I still go back and watch sales guy vs. web dude whenever I need a laugh. Great videos!

I learned on Reddit not to trust any world news or political news posts. I was tricked a couple of times by fake posts. I still browse the posts, but I take everything I read with a grain of salt.

I use news apps for my news.

I realize my post sounds like I’m against students typing out commands, but I’m not. I’m against them mindlessly typing out commands they find on the internet without taking time to understand what the commands actually do. I encourage them to be intentional with their commands and really understand them.

You know, my students do this. It’s freaking hilarious when they inevitably have a typo and get an error. I chuckle every time. 😄

If you move go to space, you can raise your KG:LBS ratio to infinity! 😄

I love Keepass(XC). I’ve used it for years.

You do have to host the files yourself, which requires an extra step beyond just handing your password over to Lastpass for future leaking, but I consider that a good thing.

Welcome to the gun show.
