Looking over a client's server and seeing if there is any
way their database can run a bit quicker/more reliably.

Oh yes, after almost 5 years of doing this, I still find
tuning and fixing databases absolutely scintillating. I'm
also writing up a site audit and glancing over the finer
points of the data protection act. Bet you're jealous! :D

Yeah, the thing that goes on the back. I need to get one for
my bike, the rucsac straps were starting to mark my old
leathers (before I put a hole in them) and when I go away
for work, a tankbag isn't big enough/can't take a laptop.
Never mind if you don't know what sort it is, I was just
looking for recommendations for one, without forking out
several hundred pounds for Givi hard luggage.

doing monotonous computer work at BMW in Munich, i.e.
upgrading ~500 client workstations' ram, patching network
cables... hunt for missing workstations.... still the best

able to buy myself a nice drumset :D

Feeling very unproductive today (hell, it's been months if

I could tell you how I did it. I could... but I won't. Just
the information I know is probably worth a hundred grand.

It's all relative; when things are going well, I'm
completely unimportant and probably the most expendable.
When things are going badly, I can save people millions of
pounds and hundreds of people their jobs.

i quit my job about 6 months ago, and started my own
business. it was really risky, but i'm finally starting to
make some money.. actually, about 3 times more than i did
doing tech support.

it's very challenging to work for yourself. it puts every
skill i have to the test. and i'm having to constantly learn
new things. actually, that's probably the best part.

lately, i've been designing drupal themes for people, and
writing articles about drupal hosting. one of my articles
just got featured on LinuxToday, which was a nice surprise.
