BOFH

Discovered Bastard Operator From Hell a couple of years ago. Then it fell out of mind for a bit until I was suddenly reminded by a web-comic.

Just goes to show how seminal the BOFH is...

So, I just spent a couple of days catching up on the Bastard's latest exploits.

The Bastard is an anarchist. He is a systems and networks administrator, working on contract for a clueless un-named corporation. He is assisted by his PFY (Pimply Faced Youth), and managed by a revolving-door series of unfortunate bosses.

The Bastard is the anti-Dilbert. Where Dilbert's spirit becomes asphyxiated by the heavy fog of management cluelessness, the Bastard instead wraps himself in the concealing vapours, and strikes out for personal gain and profit.

No mercy. No quarters.

These are empowering stories, the stuff of fantasy for all IT administrators everywhere.
