Morning all! Dealing with an email outage here with a customer. Did not manage to grab any coffee before running to the office, though
-
Coffee and reading to start the day, shadowing through out the day - finally got access to zendesk
-
just finished my "reading" for the day waiting for the creds for zendesk to come through so i can start playing with that a little bit

Finally got a coffee now as we took a quick break between the emergency call meeting and the Zoom meeting.

Playing with the microphone/camera and related settings - lots of background noise i'm trying to see if it's going to be a problem
What camera/mic? Internal to the new laptop?
Check the mic boost levels….. what noise is it picking up.
Yea, think I finally got it figured out, but I'm doing laundry and my "office" is in the basement in the space across from the washer and dryer - and it was a lot of static -
Time to install sound deadening materials...

Just lacks the power and features to do what we need. Don't want to have to assemble our own solution from scripts when Duplicati does everything we need in a single package. Veeam is great when you need a much more limited set of features.

About to start some cold brew, then it's time to find boxes to pack away a big chunk of the kitchen...

Duplicati has worked great for me. Normally use it with Backblaze B2 or Wasabi.

I always get these marketers that tell me that they are an IT consulting firm. Then they try to get a meeting to sell us their services. Then they don't do IT at all, just do application development. Um, why would I hire a firm that doesn't even know what it is that they do?
And who goes out looking for IT and hires a software firm on accident? Like, this is a WEIRD marketing strategy.
I always point out that they seem to not be aware of what IT is and that they need help, And send them a video.

Picked up a little "Mr Coffee" 5 cup pot from the store last night - got that set up in my work space and brewing the first 25oz of coffee

Stressful morning at the office today. Have to meet with lawyers all morning. Ugh, I hate this stuff.

New stuff. And then even more new stuff comes up at the meeting. Owning companies kinda sucks some days.

I can only imagine that to be true.

Realizing that being at the right company makes all the different for what you do and how much you do. This company in a week has been 1000x better. I'm truly hoping it says this way - but I've been much happier and not dreading going to work for the last4 days has made such improvements to my psyche.
