I've not been finding much interesting content up on here these days. Frequenting it less. this is not me being mean, just sayin.

The holidays really slow things down. There are very few people working so very few work related posts coming up. Should start picking back up tomorrow, I am guessing. Today was Cyber Monday, in the US, so a lot of people still shopping and not working and those that are working are just getting back into the swing of things.

It was a great time. Thirteen people made it out. We were there from 10PM (when they open) till after midnight. Boy I've missed that place.

I used to have bluestack installed... but for some reason I never really used it. Can't remember why.

Bacon cheeseburger pizza?

You Americans are all crazy!

So what company hired you?

An MSP called nDivision. VERY high level Dell partners. They've had phenomenal growth since their founding, so I'm excited to kind of get in on the ground floor.

Cool. What will you be doing?

L1/L2 work for their clients on the break/fix side. As far as what that fully entails, I couldn't tell you at this point. But I'll be able to Google issues I'm having that I'm not familiar with again...I've missed that.

That's pretty badass!

@nadnerB said:

Nice. I'd never even thought to try that out 🙂

I've seen it so many times but never bothered to click it.

What's the purpose of having a stateful laptop, then, if there isn't data stored on it?

We have a VPN setup, so we can work from home if we have to.

That's not a good reason. Why a VPN from a laptop rather than a remote access gateway? What is the value of the VPN? Obviously they see it as a security concern.

I don't make the decisions or get told why things are the way they are. I just have what I have.

@Minion-Queen You're welcome! Be glad that I wanted to watch different things than other kids x)

Quite an awesome product!

Cyber Monday still sounds like a national sexting holiday to me.

I'm glad I'm not the only who thinks that!

@scottalanmiller said:

I must be missing something. Other than my free pie.

Random thought..
No special reason.....

I don't think I will be returning to NY.

Becoming a Texan, are we?

No, just because I live in Texas doesn't mean I'm a Texan. I am, and forever will be (regardless of physical location), a displaced Upstate New Yorker.

FTFY.

Thank you. Good catch.

I dislike transitions in general. From sitting to standing, getting off of the couch, getting into bed, getting out of bed, getting into the shower, getting out of the shower, starting to each, stopping eating. Doesn't matter, I always like to continue what I am currently doing. It's weird.

I can appreciate that. I hate getting into the shower almost as much as I hate getting out! I just dislike change in general.

Bridge!

That's why you have both! Not that Steam isn't better but....

Yeah...Steam is SO MUCH NICER! Oh well...

So, several months ago the cable service was cut when the city came in a had to put in new drain line. It took about four days to get service resourced.

Well would you believe THEY CUT THE SAME LINE AGAIN?

What is wrong with people... UGH.

What happened to calling 811 before you dig?......

If your 811 before you dig is the same (or similar) to our 1100 before you dig, then this is good,obviously, because there is less chance to cut a cable

However, not everything is done the way the documentation says that it is. While onsite, the person laying the cable might decide to take a different route with the cable to save money/avoid something unforeseen/whatever. This rarely makes it back to the documentation. So the 811/1100 crowd might say "no worries, all good" but the neighbourhood phone lines are buried right where your about to dig...

True.. this is why cable, water, gas, power lines are 'toned' They are able to tone the line starting either from the service point or from the building...

So - I get to be an irate person tomorrow when I call.. This in addition to waiting for TWC to install a new modem at a remote site (apartment for the DVR). Not a secure closet,.. a linen closet in the tenants apartment... UGH!
