| schestowitz | I'm filling out the UK census right now | Apr 24 12:18 |
| schestowitz | They fine you 1000 pounds if you don't, or at least use this threat to pressure people into it | Apr 24 12:19 |
| schestowitz | They asked religion and first option was none | Apr 24 12:19 |
| schestowitz | But I press "other" and put in "Pink Unicorn" :-) | Apr 24 12:19 |
| schestowitz | These surveys are weird. I've just finished completing it, but I can't figure out why they need personal details like addresses of everything and lots of names if all they really need is to gather statistics. It's more like a sort of registry than stats. | Apr 24 12:25 |

| schestowitz | I've finally fixed the RSS issue in a site's mate | Apr 24 13:55 |
| schestowitz | Very relieved about it... | Apr 24 13:55 |
| schestowitz | "At your service, Sir! Butler Roy has facilitated your blogging needs by working hard for another hours and crafting a workaround to the RSS issue. After 4 downloads and a lot of testing the problem is now resolved :-) For details, see the Plugins section but do not change anything there." | Apr 24 13:55 |
| schestowitz | huge mess this morning | Apr 24 13:56 |
| schestowitz | servers wise... | Apr 24 14:15 |
| schestowitz | datacentre cockup | Apr 24 14:15 |
| schestowitz | It has been a long time since I last gave an update about where I'm at and what I am doing. Basically, just to clarify, I work for a British company monitoring about 300 GNU/Linux servers, which is something that I like doing and am permitted to do from home, so I live not far from | Apr 24 14:15 |
| schestowitz | the centre of Manchester, about 1.5 miles from Town Hall (the servers are mostly in London). | Apr 24 14:15 |
| schestowitz | Don't believe Internet trolls who say I ever use something other than gnu/linux because I don't. The platform is ubiquitous. | Apr 24 14:16 |
| schestowitz | In addition, I am now a staff member in a Computer Science department which is ranked 15th in the world. I work as a researcher there, also doing everything from home. | Apr 24 14:23 |
| schestowitz | Linux only | Apr 24 14:23 |
| schestowitz | In fact, I never touched anything but Linux in research | Apr 24 14:23 |
| schestowitz | Since 2003 | Apr 24 14:23 |
| schestowitz | SUSE, then Fedora, Ubuntu... | Apr 24 14:23 |
| schestowitz | My current line of research looks at how PCA models can be use to model expression variations in 3-D, where the sampled data is a dense cloudpoint and the models are only used as a dissimilarity measure, assessing the match of a probe to a gallery. | Apr 24 14:23 |
| schestowitz | I should get back to coding today..... | Apr 24 14:23 |
| oiaohm | schestowitz: enjoy yourself. | Apr 24 14:24 |
| schestowitz | you need to fix Windows sometimes IIRC | Apr 24 14:24 |
| schestowitz | I'd hate to do that | Apr 24 14:24 |
| schestowitz | it means picking up skills I don't want | Apr 24 14:24 |
| schestowitz | I don't even know much about viruses other than what's in the news | Apr 24 14:24 |
| schestowitz | You could ask me about what viruses do what | Apr 24 14:24 |
| schestowitz | But if you asked me how to remove them or 'fix' the 'computer' with a computer virus', I'm a n00b | Apr 24 14:25 |
| schestowitz | I just don't want these skills and I dodge opportunities of learning such stuff. I think we'll need to deal with things like root passwords and brute force in the future, with UNIX and Linux growing in devices | Apr 24 14:26 |
| schestowitz | Virsus will be legacy software | Apr 24 14:26 |
| schestowitz | *viruses | Apr 24 14:26 |
| oiaohm | schestowitz: back the data up and format it. | Apr 24 14:26 |
| oiaohm | Yes sadly that is a common solution. | Apr 24 14:26 |
| schestowitz | I have two external HDDs | Apr 24 14:26 |
| schestowitz | One I hide in the bedroom in case of breakin/fire | Apr 24 14:26 |
| schestowitz | also, leaving HDDs pluggin in makes you more sensitive | Apr 24 14:27 |
