I check in most evenings, and occasionally some days during the day. I am on UK time (I can see ] from my office). If you post a reply at 8pm EST and get no reply by 10pm, it's likely because I'm asleep. My wiki interests at the moment are limited. I still handle some ] tickets.

I am under considerable personal stress at the moment; and I have a lot of other stuff going on in RL including a new job as senior engineer for enterprise storage and virtual infrastructure in a Fortune 500 company. Great job, lots of <span class="plainlinks"></span> ] ], big responsibility. But Misplaced Pages is still one of my top hobbies, and I come here to do what I can. I respond much better to polite requests than to demands. People who taunt me with "I dare you to block me" may have cause to regret it, as may I. Don't even think of trying to drag me into one of the many cesspits this project offers, I will likely choose only those disputes where I don't actually care too much. Not coming to your party? It's because I've decided it will make me unhappy. Sorry about that.

Above all, please do not try to provoke me to anger, it's not difficult to do, so it's not in the least bit clever, and experience indicates that some at least who deliberately make my life more miserable than it needs to be, have been banned and stayed that way.

We now have an "article" on the self-aggrandizing sophomoric shithole that is Encyclopedia Dramatica. Way to go. That really improves the encyclopaedia, just like the countless band vanity articles we get. Fact is, nobody who is not already a member of the ED community gives a toss about the worthless place, and their retaliation against our original deletion showed that deletion was unambiguously correct. The purpose of the article is solely tro validate their tawdry little website and persuade themselves that the hours they spend there are of more merit to humanity than hours spent masturbating.

Hi JzG...Might it be possible to recreate this article?

Granted, though it was created by a banned user, I don't think it needs to be wiped off the face of the earth. If you can't put back the article, might you be able to send me the text?

== Your Opinion Please on ] ==

I tagged ] with the notability tag and proposed deletion of the article. The article's author (who is also the chief architect of SCO Skunkware) objected to the deletion and has bolstered the article with more references. I don't know what is the normal threshold for deletion, so I would like to get your thoughts on the notability of this subject and if it is worthy of an article, either as it is, or with further work. <small>—Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 18:37, 16 May 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
:I'm not Guy, but IMHO it's notable enough. It has a long history in the industry. SCO UNIX, before Caldera took over and tanked the company, was for a while a major UNIX industry player (more units shipped in the mid-90s than any other UNIX version, for example). This was the major free software source for SCO UNIX at the time. ] (]) 19:15, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Smelling pistakes
In addition to bone-deep burn scars on my left hand I now also have C7 radiculopathy, so my typing is particularly erratic right now. I have a spellcheck plugin but it can't handle larger text blocks. You're welcome to fix spelling errors without pinging me, but please don't change British to American spelling or indeed vice-versa.

JzG is taking a short wikibreak and will be back on Misplaced Pages soon.

God Jul och Gott Nytt År!

Lovely to hear from you! I have spent the past two-and-a-bit years working at incredibly high stress for a hospital. In that time I have retired around 80% of their legacy application and server estate, instituted architectural guidelines and piloted the process for demand review, reduced the measured risk burden by around 80%, instituted objective risk monitoring using Tenable, and I've just proposed (and had accepted) a plan to remediate or mitigate most of the rest. I have, in short, been busy in that there real life of which you read, and that really wasn't going to fit in with having to be nice to people who sincerely believe that Ashlii Babbit was the real victim of the "legitimate political discourse" on Jan 6 2020.
I have a week's leave. I have 28 days to take before year end, having managed I think three days off this year so far (including weekends). And because I have an offshore team and an onshore customer, my working day can be 8am to 3am.
