Good morning! and Happy Friday everyone! I must have slept wrong last night or something cause my neck is killing me. It's more than likely just a strain due to sleeping wrong, not how you would want a Friday to go for sure.

Hey @gjacobse It's friday, you awake yet?

Yup,.. been - already had a BSOD

Happy Fry day!

Oooo What an idea,.. will it Fry!!?? Benefit of my (eldest) son working for a specialty computer company is that I can order some solid hardware - which I will be doing to replace the system (sans case).... so once I do that,.. I might just pull the CPU and see if it Fry ...

And there it is... the email I was looking for but also 'dreading'..

No time off for me.

I have my orders. I start Monday Morning - WHOOT!!

Had a Customer call in that his system is running slow. Looking through System setting and specs, he still had 84% of his Hard disk space, 90% available of his ramm.. looking at his uptime : 10 days, 10 hours, 16 minutes with out a restart.

Nothing in that tells me that is a problem (Even the non restart)

No - mostly agree... exceept .. MS Updates

Congrats to @gjacobse and @wirestyle22 both of whom started new jobs this week.

Where did you guys end up?

Still not sure how much I am allowed to disclose.. but I work for a Partner that supports major 911 systems.

Still 'processing' the afternoon.

After a 'slow' day of training,.. I decided that since I was out early (2pm as opposed to 4pm) I made a run to the dealership since the noise was back in the front end.

DAMN GOOD THING I did. turns out the inner brake pad was toast.. Like major. The outter was still at 7-8mm,.. but the inner - GONE.

Oh,.. also to boot... the caliber is scarp. Seem the seal on it is blown - and just to cover bases... yup. the other side is gone too.

So - Unexpected expense after just starting a new job. That blows to the amount of $700.00. Jeez-o-pete.

Well.... the "up"side is that I got a 2018 model with just 13 miles to drive for the next few days....

After dropping $600 on the HVAC - I so didn't need this.

Imgur is currently over capacity.

Whoops...

Maybe all the Memes...

@wrcombs said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

Shipped out that PC i had to rebuild the drives on to go back on site: talking to the on site tech who is telling me it wont boot, and there was damage to the box and the Case: . . .

They should have rejected the delivery with damage to the packaging.. But....

Boredom.. Tomorrow is wrap up day and testing. It's interesting to see how this all comes together. Taking circuits, and such and bringing them, building routes and call handling. Building both in/out bound call handling and such. Seems once you have truck working as it is suppose, you copy it and update it with the new truck details, and poof, it's all set.

So much more VoIP to learn.. But getting there... Find it also interesting that some sites will have FreePBX as well to address ADMIN type calls.

@scottalanmiller said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

Building a BookStack server.

Would like to see what you came up with... if possible...

BTW - unrelated.. I do miss working with you guys.. sigh... and no. Not just because I could waste my lunch watching Netflix..

@scottalanmiller said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

Morning all, had to jump out of bed on a Sunday morning to deal with two production outages.

Regardless of the time,... or the reason... I never 'jump' out of bed.

Now - if the house was on fire... I might... But any other time? not a chance.

Ah the joys of home gear... woke up to this:

Time to order a new drive...

@hobbit666 said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

@gjacobse Netgear ReadyNAS?

Yes - It's has been serving me well since I got it.

@scottalanmiller said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

Car is getting packed.

Hope it is a uneventful drive. Seems a long way, but I am sure @SonshineAcres will be happy to see you all for the holiday.

@EddieJennings said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

Budget tasks then D&D

Sounds like a fun afternoon... Doughnuts&Dancing....

@wirestyle22 said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

@scottalanmiller and I hung out a bit and had a beer. He got to meet Laura as well. Good time.

Ah - explains why Rocket shows him as busy

LOL

@travisdh1 said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

Heading out to visit @scottalanmiller today.

Kind of wished I could as well... but it's about a nine hour drive to get there... and as I don't have any time to take yet,... can't take any..

Plus - we start our project installs this week.. Replacing 911 Dispatch computers at a few sites this week and next.
