I have a copy of the Bastard Operator From Hell on my Palm, that helpfully generates excuses as to why things aren’t happening in the way they are expected so to do. I’ve often wondered how the BOFH came to be, and now I know. You can’t escape the irony of it being on the NTK server. Also, I’ve dug up a comprehensive list of the BOFH responses—some of which did not make it onto the Palm.

Comments are now closed. Gotta be quicker than that, sunshine! Maybe now would be a good time to subscribe to the RSS feed, and then the latest stuff will come and find you.
