Workplace issues. Call a therapist!

Honest work.  How to talk to HR and not have a heart-attack! Copyright 2025, Rod Deluhery Preface I used to believe in hard work, honest work.  I believed that honest work was pure, and it was like magic in that once done, it was just this awesome thing that no one could touch.  Well, IContinue reading “Workplace issues.

oracle sucks

I hate them because their ceo gets into politics and warmongering. He brags about killing people and does politics. I like the Neely and other editors comments: Oracle Denies Cloud Breach Because Servers Were “Obsolete”(April 8 & 9, 2025) After denying that a reported March 20, 2025 breach of Oracle Cloud took place, Oracle hasContinue reading “oracle sucks”

medi-cal

A experiment in healthcare done last year seems to not be working.https://calmatters.org/health/2023/12/undocumented-health-insurance-new-california-laws-2024/ I got an email from Carl DeMaio for State Assembly. I learned a bit. So we are now pulling from the general taxpayer fund, which is used for schools, state highways, all those things.

Windows internals

Wow, I mean WOA (Windows on Arm). Reading about WOA and basic Windows program design. The HAL (hardware abstraction layer) details are mind blowing.

cisco sfp issues

https://community.cisco.com/t5/switching/cisco-disabled-1gig-support-on-9400-x-sup2-starting-with-17-9-1/m-p/5216471#M572370 rt interest it’s interesting that Cisco branded sfps have this limitation.
