Nov. 8th, 2010 08:43 amI'm amused that I can get so much pleasure out of a completely contrived accomplishment in a video game.
My real-life task right now, decommissioning my mailserver, feels a little like a video game except I have to generate my own periodic accomplishments. For those with accounts on my mailserver: I'm migrating all its services very slowly to a hosting service. I'm working on the mailing lists right now; I'll be moving people's personal email and shell accounts later. I have to admit that "Hey, I migrated a mailing list today!" does give me a little thrill.
