I switched my SW email account away from my work account so my work mailbox didn't get filled with their spam.
Got an email today in my work mailbox from "$person from Spiceworks Desktop App"...
Are you taking advantage of all the great free features in your Spiceworks Help Desk? Check out the top features that people are using.
...

...Go to your help desk and try some of these out!
Have questions? Check out our community.
Have a great day!Not happy. IMO The desktop app shouldn't allow this to happen. Unsubscribed and they had an option to tell them that I thought it was spam... so dutifully, I reported it.
The desktop app was not on the list of options for our new helpdesk app. The above spam just cements its exclusion.
Things must be getting desperate.

Arguing with an Elastix system that does not want to conform to my idea of logic.
So I told it to piss off and wrote up a couple
croncommands to make it do what i wanted.Basically I need multiple destinations hit with multiple time conditions and could not logic it out via the built in time conditions and time groups settings.
SO I went the old fashioned route and setup the single time condition with an override day/night group and then set another day/night group in front to handle the extra, but I toggled that day/night setting via
cron. -
Remembered to update the receptionist phone config file. now going to bed.

There are moments where brute force gets a totally new meaning.

Recovering after a power loss here.
Not sure what happened, but there were two explosions and the main cables between poles exploded off the poles.
And a tree was on fire.
Fireworks - Cool... Well Sorta.
Not sure why I 'm starting Monday off so early,.. but - meh,.. here I is.

Binge watched a lot of Luke Cage over the weekend. I like it a lot. The villains are much more believable and less inherently evil then Fisk or Kilgrave, there are some exceptions but you expect that from Marvel. The acting is about what you'd expect from a Marvel TV show... on par with Daredevil and Jessica Jones and much better then Agents of Shield. I'm enjoying the nods to the other series and movies, as well as reference to the original source material without staying true to it.

Yep, I last watched Episode 8. I like this better then I did Jessica Jones it is much less dark and gritty, which are two aspects I loved about Jessica Jones, it also isn't afraid of having a sense of humor like DareDevil or Jessica Jones seemed to.

Exactly. And not so much rendering as in other Marvel-themed stuff. Have you ever tried to follow the action scenes in Iron Man 3? ...

The director went back to a lot of older film making techniques, which makes sense because they didn't have a huge budget for this one, or Iron Fist, from what I've read.

Probably due to my embedded background.
Speaking of that, the owner approved my project to build something for UPS monitoring. Going to order that RaspberryPi 3 kit later (probably tomorrow) and get this going.
Awesome. Will be a lot of fun.
Once i have this under my belt, I may seriously look at redoing it with a cheaper board and parts for wider roll out. THis is the best thing I can think of for a first project though.
Don't forget to make a thread on it. I know I'm interested.
As for something smaller and cheaper. I really think that the ESP8266 or the new ESP32xx would work nicely.
Again, it's uC vs full blown Linux on ARM
You will need to implement everything yourself on a uC, from reading a RTC to controlling single bytes in the UARTs Tx and Rx buffers. I'm not even talking about persistent storage here (reading/writing to an EEPROM or a flash card for example) or communication with the UPS, which will all be handled by some Linux packages for you.I can see little to no benefit for this project in using a uC vs a single core ARM which can run Linux.
Ho-kay,.. maybe I have a better picture now.. uC vs ARM-
This may work,..

Just getting ramped up to start on the week Quiet day here.

That is still $37 prior to shipping to get the pieces, assuming the $3 case and not the $12 one.

Nope, I tried my best not to spoil anything. It's a really good show enough action and plot to keep you wanting more.

Hah, my Wife and daughter were gone for the weekend. So I did some work around that house and video games with this playing on another screen.
