Back to waiting on VMware support. Called their support line to talk with an "engineer" and was told that I would be called back. I was never called back. Not too particularly happy right now.

Yeah, I was chatting with Balber last night. It was not looking good this morning.

@dbeato Or you're having one hell of a day. . . if it was O365 you could simply say "Already working on it".

Well, it is just so many requests... the Office 365 emails I told them that is what I am working on it. I don't work for one company so I cannot say that I am already working on it to different customers.

I have a friend with a GoFundMe because she is out of work and has no transportation. She lives in rural Oregon so a car is important (until self driving cars, ride sharing, and GBI fix the situation). If anyone has a dollar that they'd like to spare, I've provided the link.

So talking with my boss and I explained how I've tried different OS's through the few years I have been working with computers. He tells me about another system we used to have in which they use multiuser Dos.
I told him how I'm sure ill never use it but id love to give them a read... well

Then hands me a brand new multiuser dos book ( 3 books total, all still packaged) and says " It's your lucky day. It's brand new and we dont use it any more."

Not a good use of your time. SO many better things out there to read.

Suggestions?

Lots. If you are interested in operating systems, for example, start reading about Linux, BSD, or even Windows. Diving into old, obscure DOS knock offs isn't useful in comparison to things that have survived and are used today. Interesting historically, but some of the least useful uses of your time.

There are SO many good books, magazines, forums (cough cough) and so forth about current, useful OSes, networking, databases, apps, etc. that you could be reading. Go for those. When those are exhausted, THEN reading about how DOS 7 or Netware 5 did things might be a little interesting to see 'where we came from'.

Home..

ugh - left at 7am ... and while my service ticket was finished by about 3 - it's still a two hour drive back... only to sit down and get called out since the kid forgot his baseball gear in the truck..

-sigh,..so now I get to do the paper work I wanted to do three hours ago.

I'm enjoying this,.. and it's in line with things I have wanted to do (Emergency Management Support)... but there are days... that I do miss working for @NTG - @scottalanmiller, @Romo, @pchiodo, @Karlita - et all..

Heading to sleep before I find myself staying up for two more hours. Starting writing my first bash script tonight :D. End result will be a bit of automation for downloading necessary packages and complete some initial steps for installing OSTicket on Fedora.

scottalanmiller

Had a little blip there on the site. Don't know what happened. Didn't last long. We rebooted, just in case.

scottalanmiller

Building a Deepin 15.7 based graphical jump box while waiting for an R720xd to build.

scottalanmiller

And doing some blogging while awaiting that, too.

scottalanmiller

Installing a Fedora Server over a VPN link is pretty silly. I've got the ISO mounted to the console in NY, installing to a server in NC. First thing going on this new server... a management station based in NC.

scottalanmiller

So far, so good. The Fedora install seems to be progressing.

44TB free space, that's nice to see on an install.

I should have done this last night. I'm feeling it this morning.
