  • Ask him if he would like to take a trip to Ireland to celebrate his graduation. I’m sure he won’t be starting work immediately, but if he already has a job it’s an easy excuse for at least a 2 week vacation. You could offer to show him around where you live and all the cool spots. Introduce him to your friends and do some of the things you all usually do for fun. Then you can take a trip to the touristy spots, which is conveniently a great excuse to get a room for night in the city, ya know, to make sure you have enough time to see everything and not worry about the travel time and such. Then for the end of the trip, just spend the time relaxing, and hanging out together. Give yourselves the time to get comfortable doing the day to day routine, give him a chance to experience what regular life in Ireland might be if he were to stay a bit longer.





  • In the end, nothing. I had a good solid 9 months of a job I loved, with decent enough pay. But then tanks to corporate execs laid off the entire IT team and outsourced it to a staffing company and reduced the size of the team from 100+ to about 8.

    I’m still there because I still need the pay, but now it’s just like every other garbage corporate job out there. Miserable and soul sucking.


  • At my company, we just have a standardized remote management suffix that we just throw at the end of the hostname, so we don’t actually track the urls. For example the server is named frosty, the url would be frostysuffix.

    Then we track our servers with either an outdated access database that nobody updates, my locally saved personal Excel sheet, or by logging into one of the 4 different health checking applications that each monitor a piece of the infrastructure. (This part actually really sucks and I hate it.)
