Back In Hotlanta

I’m posting a blog entry from the considerably better than before C terminal in the Atlanta airport.

my work laptop, my enemy

My work laptop automatically receives updates to do little things to itself (that’s what she said) at odd times. Install something new here, update this, patch that… and all of these things usually conclude with the laptop rebooting itself without my approval. I’ve kept the machine pure — meaning I haven’t defiled any of the […]
