I’m assuming you don’t actually want an explanation…
If you know, I'm all ears. I'll have to figure it out later anyway... but right now I'm trying to get this really basic project off the ground, so it's whatever needs the least config. Mostly it was just a shitpost, and you are one of the few I know on here that would know what I am even talking about :-P
Are you an Iron Maiden fan?
In a passive way. I wouldn’t turn them off if they came up in my playlist.
I really like their plane, though. :)

Oh, you got one?
:) I did. I’m not normally a first gen adopter. I waited till iPhone 4 to get one. With this though I was especially drawn to it. So far it’s been great. I tweaked all of the notification settings and reorganized the apps on it and am pleased with how it’s fitting into my day. There are some things I haven’t figured out yet but I imagine that will come in the next week or so.
So you sound like a sysadmin-in-denial. How would you describe your level of computer experience?
(grin) I don’t know about the denial. I do still sysadmin for a small select circle of other people, and that’s more than enough.
My hands-on experience began long ago when Osborne went bankrupt and I suddenly found myself with a computer that no one could service. I therefore started to learn to service it myself. Soon enough handling hardware issues led to handling software issues. This I discovered I kind of enjoyed… within reason.
When PCs got modular enough, I started building my own. By the time Peter and I had been married a while, I was building all the household’s computers. I’ve only recently given this up, as finding the spare time for this kind of thing is becoming an issue (though I have no problem tearing a machine apart and putting it back together again when it starts to misbehave). Our desktop computers are now built for us by the excellent Scan in the UK, whom I recommend unreservedly: the build on their machines is beautifully tight and clean, and their customer service is terrific. (And I figure, if they’re good enough to have acquired Her UK Majesty’s royal warrant, they’re good enough for me.) Laptops and such we buy “off the rack” as required, from places like Dynamism when we can afford it and/or the spirit moves.
In terms of coding and affiliated arts: I’ve long mastered plain-vanilla HTML, though HTML 5 I haven’t had time to dig into too deeply. I am very good with CSS. Expertise with Bootstrap and the like I’m content to buy in as necessary. I can theme in Drupal (though have pretty much given this up too: time considerations, as above.) I have enough PHP to be a danger to myself and others, and can deal with MySQL well enough when I must, though I dislike having to do so. And I am quite expert with image manipulation in various modes. (Corel PhotoPaint is my preferred tool: I dislike PhotoShop but will use it when I must.)
So there you have it, pretty much. …But at the end of the day, computers are primarily a writing tool for me, and any computer-based business that takes me away from the writing end will to a greater or lesser extent always annoy me.
And oh yeah: I really dislike Windows 8. Hate hate hate hate. 7 works fine for me.

Do you get tired of everyone asking about your boyfriend? You're quite interesting enough on your own...
Yes and no, I do like talking about him because I love him but I don’t answer like 75% of the asks I get because they treat me like an Alex ask blog. It’s fine tho, easy to ignore!
And thanks!

Such boots!
They're great for commuting/running around boots. Not as comfy sitting as other over the knee boots I have.

Vulnerable?
PROBABLY. But, yolo.
What was your first hacker movie?
WarGames!
