Vindictive, Paranoid IT Professional With a Dislike of San Francisco

July 16th, 2008 at 9:11 am by Cranky

The real suprise? It isn’t me.

A disgruntled city computer engineer has virtually commandeered San Francisco’s new multimillion-dollar computer network, altering it to deny access to top administrators even as he sits in jail on $5 million bail, authorities said Monday.

Terry Childs, a 43-year-old computer network administrator who lives in Pittsburg, has been charged with four counts of computer tampering and is scheduled to be arraigned today.

The salary amount was the giveaway.

Childs, according to payroll records, earned $126,735 in base pay in 2007 and additional premium pay of $22,534, for a total of $149,269.

    Isn’t this the sort of thing you expect to see in Gotham City rather than San Fran? Have police checked the suspect’s closet for any green sport jackets covered in purple question marks?

  2. Cranky Says:

    Maybe, but you are romanticizing the image. Think more like Danny Devito as the Penguin and you’ve got your man.
