Creature. Judgement. Butcher.

I generally don’t talk about my work here, but I’m making an exception in this case.

As of today, I am officially a Commvault 9 Certified Engineer (and also a Commvault 9 Certified System Administrator).

This almost certainly means nothing to anyone outside the world of data protection, but hey, it’s kind of a big deal to me.

Also, it gives me an excuse to embed this earworm from the 1980’s.

Obit watch: Ferlin Husky.

Shocked, shocked I am:

…a department that is severely dysfunctional on every level: one that regularly uses excessive force on civilians, frequently fails to investigate serious crimes and has a deeply inadequate, in many cases nonexistent, system of accountability.

In other news, I have not been able to find a current execution date for Antoinette Frank.

Keeping with our trend this morning of depressing our readers:

One of the largest private organizations in the world dedicated to caring for former racehorses has been so slow or delinquent in paying for the upkeep of the more than 1,000 horses under its care that scores have wound up starved and neglected, some fatally, according to interviews and inspection reports.

Here is the Charity Navigator page for the Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation. Note the rating.

Gonzaga!
