Men, what actress of the black and white movie era gets you thirsty?

Louise Brooks.

Something about those soulful, intelligent eyes. And she’s really good in all two of the films I’ve seen her in. Pandora’s Box is still worth watching today, if you can tolerate silent film.

So, which “permanently temporary” solutions have you guys built for your business-critical production system today?

There are “temporary” scripts I wrote for a company roughly 13 years ago that are still running in prod. They tried to get someone to replace those scripts but the person brought on to do so was unable to complete the task.

I offered to help for a high consulting rate, which the company declined. So my lonely little scripts are still running to this day I’m quite sure. They aren’t even that complex, but you have to understand how Windows security permissions work very deeply to produce something equivalent — and most people, even so-called “experts,” do not.

I haven’t seen this yet, but want to. It seems well-made and it makes liberals Big Mad. Both good things.

Love that Medieval French! Sounds so very different (unsurprisingly).
