That depends...

1. Set up small tripod right on the startline at the drags
2. Bungied to a tree as motorbike goes through river crossing (with me on it)
3. Get some rider/bike sunset silhouettes.

Beats having 10s from pressing the button to get over to the bike and pose

That looks interesting... at least you aren't tethered to the camera... and end up pulling it off whilst trying to stretch!

Why?

company going bust - to much owed by another company and we doubt we can get it .... so no money for this month to pay us, so we can pay our bills. cant afford to wait any longer... the last invoice they paid was december...

so off i go to get some real cash in... and if they finally pay then i can put the money back into the savings..........

i wonder what Fdisk will do to 15 servers... batch process to run at 1 hr intervals between servers - with a 2 hr gap between the first and second... thus giving them 17 hrs to pay up before the backup system get wiped...

muhahahaha............​.. as the saying goes never feck with the system administrator.

Bingo.

A rolling DBAN is in order imo

Only 1 way to find out

This is an actual letter of resignation from an employee at
Zantex Computers, USA, to his boss. His boss apparently resigned
very soon afterwards!"

Dear Mr Baker,

As an employee of an institution of higher education, I have a
few very basic expectations. Chief among these is that my direct
superiors have an intellect that ranges above the common ground
squirrel.

After your consistent and annoying harassment of my co-
workers and myself during the commission of our duties, I can
only surmise that you are one of the few true genetic wastes of
our time. Asking me, a network administrator, to explain every
little nuance of everything I do each time you happen to stroll
into my office is not only a waste of time, but also a waste of
precious oxygen. I was hired because I know how to network
computer systems, and you were apparently hired to provide
amusement to myself and other employees, who watch you vainly
attempt to understand the concept of "cut and paste" for the
hundredth time.

You will never understand computers. Something as incredibly
simple as binary still gives you too many options. You will also
never understand why people hate you, but I am going to try and
explain it to you, even though I am sure this will be just as
effective as telling you what an IP is.

Your shiny new iMac has more personality than you ever will. You
walk around the building all day, shiftlessly looking for fault
in others. You have a sharp dressed useless look about you that
may have worked for your interview, but now that you actually
have responsibility, you pawn it off on overworked staff, hoping
their talent will cover for your glaring ineptitude. In a world
of managerial evolution, you are the blue-green algae that
everyone else eats and laughs at.

Managers like you are a sad proof of the Dilbert principle.
Seeing as this situation is unlikely to change without you
getting a full frontal lobotomy reversal, I am forced to tender
my resignation; however I have a few parting thoughts.

1. When someone calls you in reference to employment, it is
illegal to give me a bad recommendation. The most you can say to
hurt me is "I prefer not to comment." I will have friends
randomly call you over the next couple of years to keep you
honest, because I know you would be unable to do it on your own.

2. I have all the passwords to every account on the system, and I
know every password you have used for the last five years. If you
decide to get cute, I am going to publish your "favourites list",
which I conveniently saved when you made me "back up" your
useless files. I do believe that terms like "Lolita" are not
usually viewed favourably by the administration.

3. When you borrowed the digital camera to "take pictures of your
mothers b-day", you neglected to mention that you were going to
take pictures of yourself in the mirror nude. Then you forgot to
erase them like the techno-moron you really are. Suffice to say I
have never seen such odd acts with a ketchup bottle, but I assure
you that those have been copied and kept in safe places pending
the authoring of a glowing letter of recommendation. (Try to use
a spell check please. I hate having to correct your mistakes.)

Thank you for your time, and I expect the letter of
recommendation on my desk by 8:00 am tomorrow.

One word of this to anybody, and all of your little twisted
repugnant obsessions will be open to the public. Never f*** with
your systems administrator. Why? Because they know what you do
with all that free time!

Sincerely

Darryl Brewer
