Blunt Trauma: February 2015
http://blunt-trauma.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Life after the Cow-orker. You'd think it would be easier, wouldn't you? 26 February, 2015. It's been far too long, and for various reasons I just haven't really had much material with which to update the site and don't know if I'm likely to have much in the foreseeable future. Certainly not material of the classic variety, at any rate. And speaking of the classic variety, an anonymous commenter has asked about republishing the original Enter The Cow-Orker.

Blunt Trauma: The Unusual Suspects
http://blunt-trauma.blogspot.com/p/the-unusual-suspects.html
Life after the Cow-orker. You'd think it would be easier, wouldn't you? Some of these have yet to make an appearance and there are others I've no doubt forgotten, but I figure it was time to draw up a list of some of the usual suspects. Ladies and gentleman, I give you the cast, in approximate order of appearance:. The original model and, in many ways, still the best: able to accelerate from gung-ho enthusiasm to blind panic and back. Because the universe decided one Cow-orker per workplace wasn't enough.

Blunt Trauma: Breaking the drought
http://blunt-trauma.blogspot.com/2013/01/breaking-drought.html
Life after the Cow-orker. You'd think it would be easier, wouldn't you? 23 January, 2013. When it comes to getting through a difficult day, Schadenfreude. Is a perfectly valid alternative to a positive attitude. On an unrelated note, I may have broken Rageboy's brain today when I showed him some more things he assumed worked but which are, in fact, deeply broken. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Blunt Trauma: October 2012
http://blunt-trauma.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Life after the Cow-orker. You'd think it would be easier, wouldn't you? 19 October, 2012. A wonderful moment from a meeting this week. Okay, then we'll need to put that into this system if we want it to work. Right? That used to be right. Now it's been declared a legacy system, and we're not allowed to use it for any new work.". Oh Okay, then. What's the new system? We don't have one.". Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). For the impatient masses. Links, just because. Enter The Cow-Orker (Redux).

Blunt Trauma: Silver Linings
http://blunt-trauma.blogspot.com/2013/06/silver-linings.html
Life after the Cow-orker. You'd think it would be easier, wouldn't you? 03 June, 2013. Normally I'll neither bring work home, nor let it follow me home. Unfortunately there are times when too many deadlines and not enough warm bodies in the workplace mean it's just unavoidable, and I have to at least check my emails to see what's about to explode next. Just recently discovered this blog, and it is hilarious. Found it from the Recursion/Inception page. Prof Godel Fishbreath, Otter. For the impatient masses.

Blunt Trauma: July 2012
http://blunt-trauma.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Life after the Cow-orker. You'd think it would be easier, wouldn't you? 23 July, 2012. The CIO and The Samophlange. I imagine the conversation between young Mephistopheles from the Very Large Software Company and our CIO went something like this:. What does it do? Whatever you can dream of and more! But the cost. Surely it must be priceless beyond the reckoning of mortal man? Why for a mere pittance over a million gold coins, it can be yours! Oh [his face falls]. OH MY GOD I MUST HAVE IT NOW! Well That's...

Life after the Cow-orker. You'd think it would be easier, wouldn't you? 10 February, 2013. One of my workmates conducted a quick audit of the First Aid kit for our floor and noted that some of its contents breached Workplace Health and Safety policy. Are you going to bring it up at the next WHS committee meeting? That would mean I'd have to go along to it.". Telling them the First Aid kit breaches policy is a breach of policy.".

Blunt Trauma: September 2012
http://blunt-trauma.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Life after the Cow-orker. You'd think it would be easier, wouldn't you? 08 September, 2012. Apparently I'm not posting enough. I can tell, because I get lost every time I sign in to Blogger and have to remember where Google have hidden all the menus this time. Usually I'm wanting to stab a Google web designer in the face within about five minutes. The second obstacle was that I had to teach him how to use some of the long-standing departmental systems that I. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Blunt Trauma: June 2012
http://blunt-trauma.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Life after the Cow-orker. You'd think it would be easier, wouldn't you? 11 June, 2012. The last few weeks have been a bit of a rollercoaster (lots of strangers screaming, no brakes or steering, an inherent risk of catastrophic failure and sudden death, and the near-certainty that somebody's going to puke on someone else), hence the lack of any updates. Also, I've been drinking. Arrrrrrr. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). For the impatient masses. Links, just because. Enter The Cow-Orker (Redux).

Blunt Trauma: Encryption
http://blunt-trauma.blogspot.com/2013/05/encryption.html
Life after the Cow-orker. You'd think it would be easier, wouldn't you? 20 May, 2013. Let's see if I remember how to do this. It's been a while, but that's a not-very-interesting tale for another time. I think you can see where problems might arise. Back to first principles. At any rate, problem solved. Lurch's manager, the Supreme Sysadmin, decided that what was required was A Definitive Spreadsheet. I looked at The Definitive List. Two things came as no surprise at all: none of the server names mat...
