All is now right in the world. It's Opening Day, and I now have my Microsoft natural keyboard at my office workstaion.
I prefer cheap, classic rectangles. It’s funny. But “free with the desktop” are consistently my favourite.
I go with the basic rectagle also. I do not use the free with desktop one, only because I want wireless.
Just bought a new one Tuesday. First one in like 7 years.
That's awesome your has two Windows keys. Using Gnome with Wayland, I miss having the extra Windows key on the right when I'm using a Windows VM.
It was a random low cost Microsoft wireless keyboard and mouse combo at MicroCenter.

Plumber sent me outside to turn on the water for the house. Then there was a lot of screaming. Everyone in the house is very wet now. Water off, more plumbing underway.
Oh my. Might have been cheaper to fly Art down there
and it would be done by now ha ha haThat or me,... wow.. That is a lot of hours - and likely over time hours as well..
Doing all of it for $80.
This is the problem. Hire a professional.
You harp on this in IT, why didn't you apply that same logic to the plumber?

He got it done, saved us a fortune. This is what he does full time. Might have taken a little longer, but he was overworked and falling asleep. He literally passed out into the tub at one point. That was not helping him.
He was redoing ancient plumbing that all had to be ripped out. He wasn't fast, but it definitely was the right decision. Speed was of nearly zero consequence, but saving money was.

Trashed two more microSD cards today... I hate those little buggers, never meant to be used as storage devices for an operating system.

Meeting the tech to reload a P'oS POS

Email migration. Moving our email from Vultr in Paris, to our Scale HC3 cluster in Los Angeles.
Interesting. Why was the email workload in Paris? Just for testing?
We were more based there at the time. It's been there for a couple years.
This is likely the MILLER email - NTG uses O365 for the now.

I take it you've never done plumbing? I ran the lines for my new bathroom in the basement - time consuming, but really, not hard.

Upgrading Windows Computers to 1709 right now.

Because 1709 is the Current Branch for Business. 1803 is not even on WSUS yet.

Yeah, I don't think it's actually available as 1803 to anyone yet. The tech bloggers are all saying the last build is 1803, but don't expect anything until the second Tuesday in April.
Oh - you guys are doing current branch stuff.. OK.

I just used openssh from powershell for the first time, and surprisingly there were no issues.
One thing that I wasn't able to see was a way to store connection information. . . like with PuTTY.

I've been using it for a while. It works well.

That is not a fucntion of SSH. Why would you expect that there.
-
What connection info do you want stored? I only need the store in Putty because it’s not the command line. Being the command line alone generally removes my need for a store of connection details.

Family just left to drive down to Houston. Just @pchiodo and I hanging out this weekend.
-
So I just went to look at the stats for today. Um, no idea why, but after a slow week, ML is rapidly shooting towards the busiest day ever, and just broke all month records!
-
Things are winding down for the holiday. Planning on hitting the bars in a little bit here.
-
Just put in my order for some Weekend Pizza!
