124 mile round-trip commute ended today. Fully remote gig starts on 12/12
Fully remote is awesome, I get way more done working from home then I did in the office. dont have to run calls that take away time from doing stuff
just installed my 3rd screen for my setup. nice to have the space !

About to audition a new drummer!
Is it hard to drum up a drummer?
Ah, good one! But yes, it has been an agonizing experience. All the good drummers who actually conduct themselves in a professional manner are in 3 bands already. Until last night, the ones that have shown up were grossly unprepared. What part of "learn 2 or 3 songs for the audition" is ambiguous? We gave them all the time they needed, their choice of songs, etc. So many amateurs. Which is really sad when they are in their 40s (like us). You've had half a lifetime to develop some kind of work ethic.
Sadly work ethic can't be taught.

Kind of
I had to take my daughter to a Cardiologist appointment, good news and bad news there, then work has been absolutely demolished todayEeek. That's scary!
was mostly good
when they said they found another VSD (small hole in the bottom of the heart) my heart sank. then he said that it was roughly the size of a thumb tak needle (the point) so small and closing. . but No surgery will be needed for another of the 3 defects she was born with, thankfully.
Just had an iPad decide to switch the Ethernet IP setting back to Automatic and it assigned a link-local IP (169.254.x.x) and I'm thankful I finished Network+ classes cause I recognized the IP and was able to have it fixed in 2 minutes (set back to manual and update IP address ) - feeling accomplished today so far.
On Day #2, put 11 hours in yesterday , on track for 11 hours today, but the project is finally caught up and complete.so at least there's that
Just finished updating my resume while on a conference call

I use zoiper on my android for a soft phone. I tried linphone but it wasn't very reliable.
What is the best way to set up zoiper for an extension and receive Config?
If you are asking for our phone system, we don't push configs to remote Zoiper. You have to set it manually.
I actually just figured it out and got the account set up!
If it wasnt a 6 hour drive, I'd be interested..
@StuartJordan Welcome!
@wrx7m said in Two or three screens. what is your choice? or just one.:
I have 3 at work. 2 at home on one system and 1 on another system. I would like more. I am going to be switching out my 23" 1080 monitors at work, for 27" or larger 4k monitors. If I am sitting on the couch with my laptop, I get frustrated by the lack of screens lol.
Oh good Im not the only one.
LOL
@IRJ Well I wish ya luck! sure it will be an enjoyable experience!
