  • I can’t use the iPhone 3 I have in a drawer, even though there’s nothing wrong with it. Meanwhile my HTC that runs Android 1.2 still works with Google maps just fine.

    I was also pissed off when all the OSX software dropped support for single-core Intel processors which rendered some very expensive 2 year old machines at work useless for anything Mac-specific.

    For context, my Dad is still using a PC I built out of parts recovered from a skip in 2008, and it works just fine.









  • I want to say my exposure was 5.something? On a PPC server used for a production management database. I liked SMIT from what I can remember (the documentation was good), but everything went well silky smooth once I managed to track down bash for it and basically automated half my job with basic scripts, lol

    Also fun fact, I once took the server offline by tripping over a SCSI 3 cable to the raid array (while sorting out the bird’s nest of a comms room) and it took me 3 days to restore everything from backup.

    That was my first steady IT job.
