Mornin!
Landscapers are supposed to show up today, but then again they said that Tuesday and didn't inform us of that fact until we prompted them Tuesday night. Thanks guys. My money is in this turning into a clusterfuck.
Thinking of spending way too much money on a 16 TB NAS so I can RAID it and ensure I don't lose any of my pictures. I get no joy out of spending money on computers and technology.

What NAS are you considering?
Synology DS418 with some Western Digital 4TB Red drives done up in a RAID6 configuration.
That's the plan at least.

Gonna be in the Urban Wasteland that is Fremont all day. Then I head off to San Juan Bautista for two days of EMT standbys...camper life...
they do a really good job, on both the jazz and classical side of things.
do you listen to WDAV here?
Day 4 of the new job. I don't think the natives have figured out that I have no idea what I'm doing yet. Also, corporate IT can suck it.
"Hey Evan, what kind of computer would you like?"
"I've been using Macs since the 80s, is it possible to get a MacBook Pro?"
"Sure, no problem."
My email wasn't configured on their end, they neglected to assign a license to my corporate network account. I called tech support multiple times to get it figured out.
"Oh... we don't support Macs."
Fuckers.

'Morning HOLY SHIT! lmao
On the subject of new jobs and the equipment that comes with it, I was given a swanky new ThinkPad. I am sure all of you tech nerds will tell me that it sucks, but it's a hell of a lot nicer than the old HP I was using at my last job. New Job did not provide any peripherals beyond a power cord, so I bought a docking station, keyboard, and mouse, and father in law had two extra monitors lying around. Not a bad setup going here.

I used Infor Lawson financials at my last job and they were one of the ERP systems we were considering before we chose Workday. Both companies handed out the mugs at the sales pitch.
Maybe.
rookie.
Last day of work today. Back up to ride some park at Snow Summit tomorrow and Saturday.
that's my kind of Rubik's cube.'Morning HOLY SHIT! lmao

Wife is spending her day laying people off.
PPP has run out and her institution, like several other major art museums and non profits in Boston, is cleaning house.
Headed to Maine for 3 day weekend.
Splitting time between our place and visiting our friends house on the lake in Belgrade.
I need to get the fuck away from society.

$800 USD shipped w/tax.
will give them a listen....
I bought a new monitor and a couple of connectors on my own dime for my new work computer... for one, I'm a contractor so I doubt I'd get an expense account. For two, my personal MacBook is 10+ years old so if / when I upgrade it, I'll need these same connectors and new monitor anyways. For three... uh... three?
Here. Got my table saw put together this am. Didn't get the frame mounted yesterday before Hannah went to bed, so it will be going up shortly. Due to shape of built-in's, I am struggling to get the width I need to support the edges of the Durock (2+" unsupported), so I'm just going to rip some 2x4's to the right size and use liquid nail to attach it to the cabinets themselves. It's not the best way to do it, but it's my only choice that gets me the structure I need. @dano-o any feedback on that?
Had to buy a hammer drill to get the auger bit out of header so that I could mount the cross-braces for the TV mount. Even then it struggled to get it out, so that fucker was wedged.
Ended up not mounting the new frame as far off from the wall as planned (fireplace not moving, so will be an overhang), so I no longer have the space to run my smurf tube. I need to figure out how best to run it without damaging structural beams. I have a plan, but figuring out how to provide an end that I can attach it to then put an HDMI plate onto is getting frustrating. I might just end it on the stud itself then use screws to attach it into the stud directly vs. a low voltage box. I have the feeling the contractor would be having the same issues...
Also still no word back from contractor, not surprisingly.

So what new bike is your dentist going to get, and does it have Bosch or Shimano for its drive unit?
i had to get one last year because I'd put it off for maybe 8 or 9 and it got infected and the pain was intolerable. i thought it actually wasn't really any worse than a filling. i guess i should get around to getting the crown put on so it doesn't happen again though, eh?
Post a pic, I havent been following the details
my bothers oldest can solve a normal one in the sub 30 second range....that's my kind of Rubik's cube.
I have email now.
But I'm not allowed to use an email client to access it... I have to use the browser version of Outlook. What kind of hot garbage is THAT?!!?
