I love technology, but I don’t really fit in the modern era in most ways. Social media is just lost on me. It’s a mental trap that sucks you in and makes you dumber.

“The volume is much greater,” Reichelt says. “Now, keeping up with people non-stop on social media is mundane, not a novelty.”

The idea of keeping up with social media makes me feel nauseous.

This was one of the dumbest decisions Microsoft has ever made.

It’s the main reason that any home lab I make in the future will be running on CentOS (clone of Red Hat Enterprise Linux) and one of the reasons I decided to obtain my RHCE – if Microsoft like Mozilla decides to alienate its core evangelists, then its future might be limited.

I had to set up a Microsoft lab to obtain my MCSE, but when I rebuild it, it’ll be with CentOS.

Good work, Microsoft. See you’ve learned well from Mozilla.

Upstream Color is the worst film I’ve seen in the past few years.

I watched it over a year ago now and it stuck with me like a case of antibiotic-resistant staph.

All style and no substance, all gimcrackery and hackery with so much pretension that it even appeals to people who apparently don’t even like movies.

The first 10 minutes are actually pretty decent. It had the base of a good story, perhaps.

But then it went oh so very wrong.

It’s probably not the worst film I’ve ever seen – I’ve seen thousands of movies – but it’s certainly in the top 20 or 30 or so.
