@scottalanmiller they start at 10am?
Yes, that's the standard for SF and Silicon Valley.
-
I think that Portland and Seattle are 10am start of days too. Definitely 9-9:30 at the earliest.
-
@scottalanmiller crap now I have to move there. I'm not much for mornings.

Are you going to Panama?
Do your appointments not know the timezone they are set for and adjust your meetings accordingly? or is this an appointment you manually entered and didn't put a timezone adjustment in place for it?

Contrary to popular belief, all of the US does not work 90 hour weeks. The high income, high productivity SV area is very European in that way. But they do it in a straight block rather than working two short shifts per day.

Yup, only in Texas to pack, get everything together and catch the flight. Leave on Saturday morning.

It's a daily appointment that I just keep in my head.

@scottalanmiller Sounds like it may be time to go from Brain Power to $calendarAppHere power....

Trying to fix an application looking for a serial device that isn't there.

Wondering why "business" class mini scanners are completely unreliable?
-
Mini scanners?

@scottalanmiller said:
Mini scanners?
small ones designed to scan driver's licenses or insurance cards.
-
@Dashrender I recall seeing a good quality one, I'll see if I can find it again (was a couple hundred bucks though IIRC)
-
The scanners I have now from Inuvio are $250+ each.. plus the software. They are the only one suggested by our vendor (athenahealth). But we've tried a few different ones.. they are all the same.. they constantly have driver/connection/quality/etc issues.
For example, this morning - one unit while scanning in duplex mode would treat the top portion of the scanned image as is nothing was scanned while the bottom section actually had the duplexed version of the card... unplugging it and plugging it back in solved the problem.
The scanner will randomly decide not to auto scan when a card is inserted. Sometimes a reboot fixes it, sometimes not.
I had one machine that had to be calibrated every 3 or 4th scan, then for whatever reason after 6 months the problem just went away.
Only thing I can guess with that one was some type of MS update issue - maybe? who knows?

Writing my speech and putting my Powerpoint together for my Toastmaster's speech tonight and also Wednesday. The title is "Picking a Printer: Why Laser Beats Inkjet".

Now I'm really confused - I recall not that long ago that you were preaching that Inkjets were WAY cheaper to operate than Lasers and where the way to go.
