I have been a systems administrator for a long time. In all this time I have found one consistent characteristic in at least one of my customers. A fear of change. Some time it appears as privately holding on to the old way of doing things. Other times it appears as using a position of power to hinder the change. However, the instance ( Read more... )

This will be my last journal post to Livejournal. From now on I will be using jeffx.com for most my web related stuff. Mostly I am doing this because I have domain that I should be doing something with.

I am still going to keep this journal name so I can post to people journals and to keep my friends lists.

It is a rainy night in Stockholm. There is nothing to eat. Nothing to drink. I needed sleep when I finally checked-in so, there is no sleep. I am considering raiding the mini-bar in search of sleeping aids ( Read more... )

I just finished reading F*uck Big Media: Rolling Your Own Network then combined that with Mind Gangsterism (2, 3, 4) and it got me thinking. When it comes to creative entertainment, I suck ( Read more... )

crisper by way of superflow:

A few months ago, I had a dream in which LiveJournal and everyone on it went completely nuts for a day. The entire world had turned upside-down and inside-out and nobody was their normal self anymore. And it was such a good read, that I think it should happen for real ( Read more... )
