Ugh, Quickbooks lost a months worth of data at a client. Wish me luck, I'll need it.
Well, storing financial data in a non-production database without basic production protections... seems like someone was thinking this wasn't very important data.

@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.
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.

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

I've been preaching this to the other people at work.

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.

Audio editing... Making sure everything is trimmed up right so the new album can be rendered out and sent for mixdown and mastering. Hard hitting, heavy psychedelic rock coming soon.

In the mist of a freezing rain / ice / snow storm - worked from home this afternoon and now I am going back to actively hunting and sadly am not the only one in the office doing so. And such great potential...

I and doing NO so such thing... they are.. (shivers) I want to stay away from anything Cisco... but - I don't have that call and any attempts to make an argument is drown out by management who is in love with Cisco.

Was just told we are moving to a clock in / clock out time clock system starting Monday - Guess it's an app that we download on our phones- For easier tracking of our times etc..
Apparently we "arent supposed to know this yet" because it's gonna be dropped on everyone on Monday morning when it goes into effect - I guess. It's confusing for me that management is hiding it from us - only reason I know is my Direct supervisor told me about it because he doesn't feel like it should be kept a secret til it comes out. -
