Observations of a Staff Engineer in platform (Linux & AWS; formerly Windows and NetWare in hardware). This started as an academic blog and just kept going. Currently private sector and genderqueer. Not an official blog by any stretch. Really.
The budget crunch I mentioned the other day has made the local paper. This is not that surprising, since we're one of the bigger employers in the area, and 20K students make a noticeable economic impact to the area.
