Hanging out working from my laptop at our house in Leon today. The kids and dogs are here and we are just chilling. Lots of additional furniture being delivered today.

I sincerely don't know how we missed that. Can't point the finger of blame at any one person, but damn.

Oops, Sorry
Phone rings
Distractions come at us at the speed of IT.

*Phone Rings Again, this time from the Emergency line
You mean the normal line... cause everything is an emergency
Good point.

Adventures in DSL land last night. For a small while, the ping between my router and the other end of the PPPoE connection was 200ms.

Oh, fun. Sounds like somebody in your neighborhood was torrenting the latest TV show.

If it makes you feel any better,... my In-Laws had fiber installed yesterday... They are rural... DSL most sorta works out there and the only other option is Sat...
I can't get Fiber likely for another 3-5 years. and I'm about 5 miles from where it currently stops.

I'm on the waiting list for Stalink, and I'm doing some research into fiber or possible a dedicated copper connection. Both of which are a non-trivial expense, but if it might make sense as an investment into the property, then I'll consider the build out.

Testing / familiarizing myself with putting MeshCentral behind an Nginx reverse proxy.

@eddiejennings I took a look at Starlink, it'd be pretty outstanding to have 'net access in the middle of the Simpson Desert etc etc, but at $135/month, forget it.

Fiber was a member of the East German mens 4 x 200 metre swimming relay team, that competed at the 1874 winter Olympics in Tasmania.

Ugh, Quickbooks lost a months worth of data at a client. Wish me luck, I'll need it.

Playing with Powershell waiting for calls this morning - found a free microsoft course on powershell scripting.

Well, storing financial data in a non-production database without basic production protections... seems like someone was thinking this wasn't very important data.

Haha, you think $135/mo is expensive? Damn, must be nice to not live in the EEUU. Because that's pretty cheap there!
Here in Nicaragua good Internet is around $30/mo. So it would be expensive for us too, but not compared to commercial fiber which is a bit more.

I've got fiber AND Starlink on order for most of a year.

What you've been missing is that they agree with you. They just think that the company's financial data isn't important.

You're not wrong.
