I get to do horrible stuff like: analyze TCP sniffer traces to find out the remote host is ACKing out-of-sequence frames! trap a print stream to find out the application is using ANSI instead of PCL escape codes! place trap in our LPR client program to find out of a print job is being rejected because it didn't like the specified queue name! figure out serial wiring for a terminal server we don't support wired to a lab instrument they stopped making in 1987! And after 5:30, I pretend I'm a beachcomber and think about undiscovered tropical islands until it's time for bed.
