    The Inmates are running the asylum? I tell everybody that when I explain the difference between day shift workers and night shift workers.

    As a night shift worker, I am paranoid as to exactly what you mean with the above statement. But fairly sure I agree.

      I’m sure you agree but to explain, having worked both, day shift workers are little bit uptight generally because all the big wig bosses are in so there isn’t much room for slacking off which that is the case too for night shifts. However night shifts in any work setting are a little bit more laid back because there isn’t big bosses taking glances all the time. Hence why I say the the difference between day shift and night shift is that inmates run the asylum at night. Usually the supervisor at night is also a bit more laid back than the day guy is.

      Personally as much as I don’t mind 1st shifts, 2nd shifts are little bit nicer IMO.

        Okay.

        My point of view is that the inmates, the crazy people who have no true understanding of what they’re doing or what’s going on, are in charge. Aka, the day shift, and all the clueless managers who are baffled why they aren’t getting feedback from the night crew at the 3pm meeting.

        For those unfamiliar, to gain a better understanding of a Night Crew viewpoint, swap ‘am’ and ‘pm’. Would you attend a meeting at 3am, or skip it? If you did go, how attentive and productive do you think you’d be?

  • Every Time I Say My Desk is 'Peak' Cyberpunk, I End Up Topping It ( November 30th 2020 )


    My current desk

    So every few years I've felt the need to make an update about my ever evolving workspace, and how I (more and more) seem to be cultivating an aesthetic that screams "secondary side character in a cyberpunk story who probably gets killed off in the third act." It's an aesthetic I've been working on on purpose (well, not the getting killed off bit), but every time I declare it's reached "peak cyberpunk" I end up outdoing it soon after anyway.

    Like that 2017 update? I exceeded it in mere months.

    Anyway, since I made some significant changes recently, I thought I'd post an update about my weird hole of many screens where I run The Nerd & Tie Podcast Network from. I'm not going to run through everything, but I will map out the biggest differences from 2017. The first is (obviously) the 32" display up top, which I now use to stream media on instead of the Kindle Fire (though the Kindle Fire is still used for audio bumpers on podcasts). An Apple TV runs that, though I also have a spare Switch dock hooked up sometimes. The Linux laptop is gone (I mean I still have it though), replaced by the late-2011 13" MacBook Pro which used to be my main personal machine. That MacBook Pro is tucked away, but displays on the relocated black monitor in the lower left.

    Of course, my new main personal machine is a brand spankin' new M1 Mac mini, which is controlled by the keyboard and trackpad that sit where my laptop used to be. I've expanded the physical desk (and retired the mini fridge) to support the monitor for the Mac mini. And don't worry, Linux isn't gone from my desk (and I mean I still use the laptop) -- as you will notice one last monitor on the lower right which is hooked up to a Raspberry Pi 400. This is notably used from a different chair, as that's my "goof around" computer, and would literally be a distraction if I was trying to use it while getting work done.

    It's funny, I bought two computers in 2020, both of which are ARM based. With a good chunk of my desk now on RISC architecture, I'm happy I can just dig out this image without context as I sign off for today...

    RISC is good
