  • I would love to get to try the whole jet experience, but I am not interested in doing it regularly.

    I came as close as you can while flying normally during the start of the pandemic.

    I am an IT guy and was tasked with flying to one of the company owner’s country retreats with a new computer and set it up to be ready for the summer…

    I get to the airport, the main airport of Sweden, Arlanda, at 07:45 on a normal weekday.

    Attached is a photo of what the check in hall looked like…

    Anyway, I get checked in and get to my gate, there are a few others there, my flight is called, I walk down and board the transfer bus, and the doors close behind me…

    I am the only one on the bus!

    I get to the aircraft, a Fokker F50, no company markings at all…

    A cute flight attendant welcome me onboard saying that I can pick any seat as I am the only passenger…

    And we fly away, it was super weird yet really cool.






  • I am an IT technician, I get paid to solve problems.

    A user can’t send emails? I’ll check the logs and error messges, find the problem and is I am allowed to, solved the problem.

    Oh, we need to setup up a new firewall rule?

    Ok, I’ll log on to the Palo Alto appliance and have a look at the logs.

    We need to configure our systems so that we get our logo as the avatar of sent emails?

    Ok, I have no idea on how to do that, so I’ll start googling, ah it is all BIMI, and shit, I need to speak with legal, and set up a new certificate vendor? Crap… Shit, our logo isn’t actually trademarked? What? Fuck, we need to do a DORA check on the certificate vendor? Crap…
