"Bastard Operator From Hell"-style excuses

I really like the original excuse generator by Jeff. I wrote this Javascript version so you can tell what the problem is, even if you can’t reach his server. “The Bastard Operator From Hell”-style excuse server. The cause of the problem is: The BOFH-style excuse generator brought to you by Jeff Ballard. View the whole list of excuses (retrieved 2025-06-09). The Register also has a bunch of newer stories as well.

Designing stuff... isn't for me

I created some designs for this site during development, although they didn't make it to the current version, I thought it would be a good idea to keep them around somewhere... Inline SVG Logo "admi_" This logo was on the front page until 2025. It should represent a sysadmin typing "admin" as username to a login prompt. The "mi" highlight represents my initials as well the site. Blinking cursor stuff requires some custom CSS I abandoned by now.

Writing about stuff

A long time ago one of my managers told me “you should write a blog!”… I dismissed the idea back then mainly because I did not like following the trends and I did not want to make another Wordpress site on the internet… But yesterday late night while browsing memes on 9gag I came across this picture of a Japanese girl band whose name did not come to my mind…

Looking at things

Earthwatching rulz I used to watch the ISS HDEV streams here, but they have been shut down for a while. I hope the ISS will stay up there for a few years more! Greetings to fellow space enthusiasts! https://eol.jsc.nasa.gov/ESRS/HDEV/ https://spotthestation.nasa.gov/
