office gossip
sat around today, not doing very much. So some stories.
Met with a Sud Afrique and talked about the future. Turns out that nobody has used a domainable Sun box here. So i'm possibly in demand - because i've read 2 pages in a manual more than most. He's been here 5 years and speaks no Japanese. This will not be me.
Vitaly just told me a story about how he used to work at a bank in Moscow, which had a server hidden in a private datacentre, all for itself. He didn't know where the datacentre was. Only one guy in the office knew. {think 'connected'} . This guy used to carry a remote control which had a single button. If depressed, this button would trigger an EM wave in the datacentre, designed to be large enough to destroy the machine's data.
His manager got drunk and hit the button by mistake. Nasdrovia.

Which means, you should only buy at a price you think is good enough value to hold on indefinitely. Think of the 10+ year plan. Anyway, I'm sure I will understand more in 2 years. Hopefully, I wont. Dont sell. Dont sell. Dont sell.
