The Bastard Operator from Hell Series

Welcome News Links Work CV Etcetera


The Bastard Operator from Hell series, authored by Simon Travaglia, spt@waikato.ac.nz. Without a doubt, the origin of the warped and twisted mind I've become. Read and tremble!

Written in about mid 1992, this covers a few weeks of a true Computing Administrator's nightmare of an existence. From his beginning, speeding up the backups by assigning null to be the tape device, right up until his death and subsequent resurrection and revenge. Warning: This contains violence and bad language. Quite bad language really.

This copy came straight from the author's site, and is unedited beyond some tidying of the HTML, giving it a nice white background.
