As an undeserved recipient of the 2020-21 "Rhys' Bitch Award", Connor found time better spent in the volumous collection of flammable goods nestled firmly between 2 fire escapes, than in the sad delusion of YSTV's "computing team". A computing team where he'd form one third of the infamous "Triple threat": a trio of wannabe sysadmins who believe different philosophies about literally every part of their job. Connor was (leaving room for death in this editorial) a person of absolute minimalism with systems. While [[Rhys Milling|Rhys]] might download an outdated, abandoned github repo ("but Connor, it's written in Go!" he would say) and [[Dom Hall|Dom]] might find some £40 a month subscription service riddled with spyware, 90% of the time the obvious solution is just a bash script. And it is - it always is. {{Dubious|reason=Types are a thing}}

And it is - as was made very evident in every Computing meeting.
 
He may spend more time than socially acceptable doing computing tasks (organised neatly on a pristine Trello board, of his own design) but his actual role is [[Heads of Archives|Head of Archives]], where he spends even more time [[2021_Archive_Redo#Archive_meetings_and_libraries|ignoring emails]] and [[2021_Archive_Redo#Wikis_and_docs|fixing the many issues with mediawiki]] (sometimes with [https://docs.ystv.co.uk/wiki/Media_Wiki much anger]).
