I’ve never heard of sysadmin as a step down from programmer.

Can't blame her. Once kids enter the picture chaos is assured.

One thing I loved about Syndicate Wars was that, as you get more cybernetic limbs and organs for your agents they start breathing in their little profile screen.

You could also make an app to have locals check with their hospitals and get the data. Or have the doctors at the hospitals participate.

That's a good question, why don't recruiting firms filter leads through technical guys rather than just looking for term matches?
Re:OpenDUNE – An open-source recreation of the game Dune II
on Sunday June 03, 2018 @02:32AM (#17218229)
Yes! Such a great game. I remember playing it frequently just to find all the sietches. Then when the atomics came in and Gurney Halleck was like, "OMG ATOMICS!"
This game had so many great moments. One that pops into mind is sending Fremen units to attack a Harkonnen base and they would literally start marching towards them on the map. Another is how the NPC's eyes wound randomly bulge when you were talking to them.

Maybe a little embarrassing, but overall beautiful just as a reminder of how innocent the internet, and most people on it, were back then.

It's just info on the comics, superhero appearances, crossovers. Like someone previously said, just metadata. You can't pull Marvel Universe data like the height of all the X-Men from shortest to tallest or how many planets Galactus has eaten.
Re:How to make a DIY home alarm system with a raspberry pi and a webcam

Awesome, I've got a similar setup, I use BitTorrent sync though to send the files. The problem with that is I need one local computer to be on in order for it to sync, then I connect that local computer's folder with Dropbox to view screenshots remotely. I've also been looking at removing the IR filter for night time viewing, there are a few blog posts on the c270 specifically, but I haven't dived into that part of the project yet.

If you go further with this then one of you has to leave. Most likely her, but only because you own the company, of course.
