tv – Valerie Aurora's blog
https://blog.valerieaurora.org/tag/tv
Valerie Aurora's blog. Something happened to TV in the last few years: it got much better, and it got easier to watch.

Online dating profiles are, of course, filled with wonderful juicy tidbits for internet harassers. All those sex-related questions, hurray! So, to save you all the thirty seconds it would take to find my OkCupid profile, here it is:.

Valerie Aurora's blog. Handy tips for my Internet harassers. NSFW, trigger warnings galore. Harassers, be sure to read this at home.]. Today I was worrying: what if people decide to harass me on the Internet and do kind of a terrible job of it? I mean, I know of cases where harassers did an embarrassingly bad job of doxxing and as a consequence sent pizzas to the wrong house. A waste of a good phone call if you ask me. Sending packages/food/etc. to my apartment. Protip: Things not to send me:. But be sur...

Leaving Red Hat – Valerie Aurora's blog
https://blog.valerieaurora.org/2010/12/09/leaving-red-hat
Valerie Aurora's blog. I’m leaving Red Hat, effective January 7th. Here’s my self-interview on the topic…. Q: Why are you leaving Red Hat? I’ve worked for a lot of companies as a Linux kernel developer (IBM, Intel, Red Hat, etc.). Now, jobs vary a lot within companies – one of my favorite sayings is, “You don’t work for a company, you work for a manager.” And different people like different corporate cultures. So why in the world would I leave Red Hat? Q: Why are you leaving now? And, as usual, I do not ...

Valerie Aurora's blog. Here’s my favorite operating systems war story, what’s yours? Val in her Dr Pepper days. When I was working on my operating systems project in university, I stayed up all night for weeks feverishly rebooting my test machine, hoping that THIS time my interrupt handler changes worked. I survived on a diet of raisin bagels, baby carrots, and Dr Pepper. And only left the computer lab to shower and sleep for a few hours before stumbling back in and opening up EMACS again. I loved it.
