Gopher and more... ------------------------- Sat 1st Dec 2018 /cpj Been trawling around gopher this week, reading phlogs and peeking at the corners of gopherspace. I've also been fine-tuning my use of vf-1 as well, with thanks to solderpunk. It's been a fairly busy week at work this week, but mostly catch-up. With the exception of a media interview, and some last minute chaos that stressed my staff late Friday afternoon, I've been able to concentrate on catching up on my 'pending' and 'not yet' to-do lists, as well as finish some reports that have been overdue. We had a public event today, so was at the office for most of the day. Was a good day... one of my favourite events. Next year's election seems to have come early. Came home today to find someone stuffing 'pre-campaign' campaign literature in my mailbox. Me: Hey. Dude: Uh, hey, I'm with . Me: Congratulations. How long have you been together? Dude: Uh, no, we're not together, I just work for him. Me: Isn't that a conflict of interest? Dude: What? No, I *just* work for him. Me: I see. What can I do for you? Dude: Yeah, so we noticed that you're new in the area. Wondering how you voted in the last election? Me: How did I vote? Well, I went to a polling place, and cast a ballot. Dude: No, no, I mean who did you vote for? Me: One of the candidates, I think. Is this a skill test in democracy? Have I passed? Dude: I need a new job. Me: Uh, OK, buh bye then.
