* 2021: Rhys' Bitch Award | |||

Technically a member from 2019 but only active in 2021. | |||
= About = | |||
As an undeserved recipient of the 2020-21 "Rhys' Bitch Award", Connor found time better spent under the volumous, flammable goods that sat between 2 fire escapes, than in the sad delusion of a YSTV "computing team". A computing team where he'd form one third of the infamous "[[Triple Threat]]": a trio of emotionally rotund sysadmins who believed wildly different philosophies about every single part of their job. Connor was a person of absolute minimalism (dwm? Self-configured arch install? Need I say more?). While [[Rhys Milling|Rhys (DJ) Milling]] might download an outdated, abandoned github repo ("but Connor, it's written in Go!" he would say) and [[Dom Hall|Dom "have you finished it yet" Hall]] might find some "enterprise", proprietary, bloated subscription service riddled with spyware (which wouldn't be so bad if the damn thing actually worked), 90% of the time the obvious solution is just a bash script. And surprise surprise it always (eventually) works. | |||
While you may find him nestled in a fist fight, mid computing meeting, his actual role is [[Heads of Archives|Head of Archives]], where he dedicates his life towards [[2021_Archive_Redo#Archive_meetings_and_libraries|ignoring emails]] and [[2021_Archive_Redo#Wikis_and_docs|fixing the many issues with mediawiki]] (sometimes with an excess of [https://docs.ystv.co.uk/wiki/Media_Wiki anger and fear]). His entire speech for Head of Archives is reproduced below verbatim: | |||
<blockquote>I want to be Head of Archives.</blockquote> | |||
His resignation speech is reproduced below, exactly as delivered: | |||
<blockquote>I no longer want to be Head of Archives.</blockquote> | |||
