"Choose sysadmin-ing. Choose no life. Choose no career. Choose no family.
 Choose a fucking big computer, choose disk arrays the size of washing
 machines, modem racks, CD-ROM writers, and electrical coffee makers. Choose
 no sleep, high caffeine and mental insurance. Choose no friends. Choose black
 jeans and matching combat boots. Choose chairs for your office in a range of
 fucking fabrics. Choose SMTP and wondering why the fuck you are logged on
 on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting in that swivel chair looking at
 mind-numbing, spirit-crushing web sites, stuffing fucking junk food into your
 mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing your last in some
 miserable newsgroup, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish,
 fucked up lusers Gates spawned to replace the computer-literate.
 Choose your future.
 Choose sysadmin-ing."
                        -- "Adminspotting", Gary "Wolf" Barnes

"As a computing professional, I believe it would be unethical for me to
 advise, recommend, or support the use (save possibly for personal amusement)
 of any product that is or depends on any Microsoft product."
                        -- David H. Wolfskill, in alt.sysadmin.recovery

It usually takes more than three weeks to prepare a good impromptu speech. 

    -- Mark Twain

I love being married. It's so great to find that one
special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life.

"Chaos Theory is a new theory invented by scientists panicked by the 
thought that the public were beginning to understand the old ones."
