Good in FF here. Maybe I added it.
Opera 31.0.x here... it's not great at spelling...

Doing some late Chef builds, got some pizza in the oven, brie bites ready to go in when the pizza is done and thinking about playing an hour of The Raven: Legacy of a Master Thief before turning the gaming over to my daughter to play Dust.

On the road to Detroit... 6 hour drive....Have fun with that.
Yea,.. they closed the office while I was still in route.. Seems that nearly half of the road miles between KY and MI are under construction.. Will hit the site at about 7am tomorrow (cough cough) refreshed and (cough) ready to go....

Afternoon coffee time
while sorting out a few tickets -
Time for client visits.
-
Oh the fun of driving across the country to see clients. That's what @g-jacobse is doing this morning too.

Played about half an hour of BioShock before going to bed. It took a bit to get it all set up as we can't play it while the kids are awake, so needed to wait for my daughter to pass out from playing Dust all evening. Then we had to set up the Mac which we finally got sort of talking to the television, and set up my wife's laptop and streamed BioShock from the Windows laptop to the Mac laptop. We were both amazed that somehow it actually worked. Not great, but worked.

Sitting out on the balcony getting caught up here waiting for some onsite work to begin.... turns out we had a tech drive eleven hours just to restart a switch that had crashed before no employee at the site, including the on call local IT guy from another firm, was willing to just power cycle some devices before putting someone in the car to drive two states away to just power cycle things!!

Send the client the Bill... Mileage + 11 billable hours for their laziness.

Oh we are, no question there. They had a staff of three on a five hour call yesterday trying to troubleshoot an issue that was hardware failure they could have determined in minutes.
-
@scottalanmiller lol. For that customer, they should get the IT Crowd voicemail: "Try turning it off and on again and then call us back"
-
They wanted to. I can't believe everyone at that site isn't fired today.

I think my email address has been sold by an IT company... I'm getting dozens of "meeting requests" a day from various IT contractors/developers/maintainers.

UGH that sucks!
That happened to me 2 years ago after spiceworld. So last year everyone here used a alias email to put on prize stuff. Worked great.

Yes, avoid giving out your email there and don't let them scan your badges. The whole thing is a collection for spam.
