Bored at Work... Give me something to do please :)

Hi all, as the topic header suggests, I'm really bored at work and on the last WAN Show when Linus mentioned about doing a long testing project to test which air flow is best at minimizing dust build up, I thought, "Hey why couldn't I think of something like that because I'm bored as hell in work,".  So basically I'm asking if there's anything people would like me to test.  I'm an IT Manager at the moment and have a crazy amount of tech available (and time apparently) to do testing and alike, whether it be a long project like Linus mentioned or a small one.  

 

Please give me something to do (and no peeling potatoes is not an option here :) )

 

I'm away now over the next few days but will check this early next week and will start to test some stuff.... if there's any lol :D

Watch out for each other. Love everyone and forgive everyone, including yourself. Forgive your anger, forgive your guilt. Your shame. Your sadness. Embrace and open up your love, your joy, your truth, and most especially your heart.

Just get into coding

 

I'm a fully qualified software engineer and am doing a remote PhD with MIT, so know a little about coding already :P  

 

Been coding in house software for years but writing Windows applications or game addons can only keep you occupied for so long :) Thanks for the suggestion tho :)

I'm sure this has been done a thousand times before, but could easily stress test 2 identical systems and monitor temps under a standard push and push-pull to see which is the winner, if any.  Should keep me busy for 20 mins to set it up and then check back in a few hours / days lol

Find me a iso of the Windows 10 Tech Preview build 10041 (English x64)...

Please spend as much time writing your question, as you want me to spend responding to it.  Take some time, and explain your issue, please!

"Just"..

I realized after it was quoted the first time that I should have worded it differently.

I hear it's not very stable. People have reported total system crash with data loss. I'd wait...

What job do you have that allows you the time to be bored and do something about it besides the purpose you are there for?

Didnt ask for a summary, asked for a ISO.  I know good and full well what I am getting into.  Its just Microsofts "Get Windows 10 Tech Preview" page is currently under construction.​

Please spend as much time writing your question, as you want me to spend responding to it.  Take some time, and explain your issue, please!
