They really do drive me nuts but for 35 an hour I just grin and wait for the day I can tell them their cisco router is dead and will take 3-5 weeks to ship a replacement

I used to be a people person but people ruined it for me. Now I'm thinking I'd prefer to go back end I have no experience with it and i realize I'd still have to deal with people but at least when the database gets messed up and my boss asks what's wrong I can tell him it's fucked in the back end

@lantech19446 what do you do now?
Jonathan Herman
@lantech19446
I'm a network admin for two public libraries
Katya Robinson
@KatyaRobinson
Are you trying to transition into development?
Jonathan Herman
@lantech19446
yes, I got into admin right as the economy crashed and it seems changing my focus will be the only way to stay in IT and catch up with modern salary requirements

@KatyaRobinson
On man I gotta hop off. Chick-a-filla has filled up and people are giving me dirty looks. I'll drive home and check if anybody's still here. Is this chat on-going or will it end at 8??

@Lilyheart
lulz. I'm not sure David would want my soldering skills :) I've done that tree... and that's about it.
except for soldering a bunch of resisters to a perf board for practice. Then my roommate used it and apparently my iron is shit and haven't gotten a new one so who knows if i'd be good at it or not.

If you use chrome chrome://site-engagement/ is a very interesting page.
Given it's getting to be the end of a semester, I'm not all that surprised by mine.
Although i thought stack overflow would be higher (didn't even make the 50pts and higher... it's at 14.7 :O )

@lantech19446
thank god I use firefox
Lily Romano
@Lilyheart
meh, i get paid by google for it xD
I'd guess part of it is because I store my history with google and that's my choice. All sorts of things you can opt out of and opt in of.
Jonathan Herman
@lantech19446
I'm to lazy for all of it but the stories it would tell lol
Lily Romano
@Lilyheart
That's what the other browser is for xd
I run a few instances of chrome for different settings.

If anyone does use chrome/android, and is wondering what I meant by I get paid. Cross Media Panel Browser + Phone + Tablet = $3 a week = $156 a year. I also don't mind big data because I understand it and can control for the most part how it gets my data.
