Folks, we lost one of our greatest politicians yesterday. George Deukmejian of California, very very tough on crime. He was in the Legislature, he brought back the death penalty even when Governor Moonbeam said "no." Then he became Governor. Believe me, we're going to have more and more Republicans in power in California. Because we're BUILDING THE WALL!!! foxnews.com/politics/2018/05/08/george-deukmejian-ex-governor-california-dies1.html

Is There a German in the House?

Presently I list only a few companies in the Germany section of The Global Computer Industry Index.

Yet my web server log files give me the insight that most of my visitors are from Germany. Clearly I'm not serving their needs yet.

Can you suggest some small- to medium-sized Software or Hardware companies for me to list?

It's easy for me to find publicly-traded companies as well as multinationals but even so it's OK if you want to point some others out to me.

At your option, mail your suggestions top incoming@soggy.jobs or alternatively post them in a comment herein.

I Think There's Still Something Wrong With My Brain

But I don't feel the need to go to the Emergency Room.

I'm going to ask my Primary Care Physician to refer me to a Neurologist.

I'm making the same kinds of mistakes that brain-damaged people do.

I was brutally beaten by two police officers in 2012. I was unconscious for three days.

When I woke up, while I could correctly visualize the spelling of my own name when I thought about it, I was incapable of spelling it right when I tried to write it on paper with a pencil.

Republicans lying about WMDs...

To the great people of West Virginia we have, together, a really great chance to keep making a big difference. Problem is, Don Blankenship, currently running for Senate, can’t win the General Election in your State...No way! He says he's one of the Friends of Coal. Believe me, he's no friend. He's a crook. REMEMBER ALABAMA -- no more crooked politicians! Vote Rep. Jenkins or A.G. Morrisey!

Happy Cinco de Mayo, everyone!

I Think I Just Blew Subversion's Brains Out

It seems to be a problem with our server. Our sysadmin has the day off; I asked the Engineering VP if I should ask him to fix it today.

This just in: "Yes," replied the VP. Sucks to be a SysAdmin.

I tried to do an "svn resolve" when I suddenly found the macOS Finder's window that was open to my project hierarchy started boogieing.

By the time it was done with it's dance, most of what I had in trunk had been deleted.

I already sent the SysAdmin a mail to tell him that full checkouts fail after fetching a couple hundred files: "connection reset by peer".

I used to really _like_ Subversion. It's always a tragedy when a loving relationship is on the rocks.

Ask SN: Recommend a Reliable B&W Laser Printer?

Hardware

Business Depot in Portland has laser printers that cost less than the complete set of inks for my ancient Canon. I completely replaced its inks only to find that it doesn't work anymore.

I mostly need black and white prints. If I need color all get them done at FedEx office.

I want a laser printer that will last until the heat death of the Universe.

TNX!
