Escaping the arguments from next door and put some eighties on the tape.
Anyone have some pineapple homebrew to fill the watercooler???

So who thought the watercooler wouldn't explode when filled with pineapple juice, yeast and brown sugar? Trying to figure out if the government will allow a new one to be delivered on Friday.
Just spitballing here, there are these rude guys with a rude web site https://showme.co.za/ THEY SHOULD HAVE PLEASE IN THE URL!!!!!!!

As a random networking note around the watercooler, there is now a open-source Vyatta-based DPDK enabled router available, incubated by AT&T.

Quite interesting from a "whitebox router" perspective to now have hardware accelerated/fastpath available in open-source.

I must give that a test drive. I didn't know this existed! We will have the same tech in v7 of the SDWAN software but the last time I spoke to the devs they said it is still a long slog to make it stable but the speed is awesome.

I finally got hold of some patio heaters today, after visiting 3 hardware stores, all inundated with long queues full of DIY'ers with pent-up-frustrations.

Indeed it is, it's well over a decade old. Absolutely fantastic mouse.

Yes, best mouse eva!

I still use mine. Every couple of years, one of the wires inside the USB cable breaks just where it enters the body of the mouse, and I have to cut the USB cable shorter and solder the broken wire.
