Timeline of Silicon Valley College (as far as I can figure out)

Timeline of Silicon Valley College

Note

Not to be confused with Silicon Valley University (which was shut-down abruptly in 2018) nor University of Silicon Valley which still exists, but is unrelated.

I attended Silicon Valley College at [6201 San Ignacio Blvd., San Jose, CA 95119] from September 2001 until November 2003 when I completed my final class. I was the student speaker for the Design and Visualization Bachelor program at that year's graduation ceremony in May 2004.

This is a timeline of events — as best as I can put together — of what happened to Silicon Valley College since that time.

Parman tacos

Parman Tacos

Serves 3–4, depending on how hungry everyone is, usually with some leftovers.

If you've never had them before, try them as-made at least once before making changes. They are NOT your traditional Mexican-inspired tacos. DO NOT start putting hot sauce, sour cream, or guacamole on them, or you will insult the chef. THESE ARE NOT THAT KIND OF TACO.

BEFORE YOU START COOKING: Read the entire recipe and instructions first so that you know what's coming. THEN, go through the recipe a second time as you perform the steps.

The history of this taco recipe…

Alternate CPU Architecture Identifiers

Alternate CPU Architecture Identifiers

I work with Linux in Docker on the daily. And the people and machines I support have a blend of Intel/AMD and ARM/Graviton/AppleSilicon chips.

And the thing that bites me regularly is that different operating systems return different values for uname -m, even when they're the same thing.

The Problem this Helps With

  • We have users on macOS, Windows, and Linux.
  • We have a blend of worker laptops using both Intel/AMD and Apple Silicon CPU architectures.

Priority Definitions

Operationally, P1, P2, and P3 have very specific meanings.

  • P1 means all hands on deck. Drop everything else and work on this. Don’t eat, don’t sleep until it’s handled. This has an open P1 in your operations tracking system.
  • P2 means that there is some impact, but not really for customers. P2 is like a P1, but for internal-only services. It’s also to get everybody to put eyes on a specific problem. This has an open P2 in your operations tracking system.
  • P3 is important, but not quite an outright fire.

When I’ve run app dev teams, I’ve treated them similarly, but not quite at the same level.

  • P1 - Urgent means don’t work on anything else until this is done. If someone else asks you to do something, they have to wait. It is a sprint-breaker, meaning that it takes priority over all other sprint tasks.
  • P2 - Very High is lower than a P1, signifying give this ticket your priority, even if it’s not the only thing you’re looking at. It is a sprint-breaker, meaning tha

Is Homebrew driving you to drink?

Error: [email protected]: the bottle needs the Apple Command Line Tools to be installed.
