      Unintentional post storm walk,… office I was at for training has no power, generator won’t start either… build been down since mid afternoon Friday now.

      Walking the warehouse may have found previously unknown roof damage. That’ll add to the Monday stress…

      That's always fun. 😕

      Uhm yea…
      They didn’t know. Flat roof issues. They have 50# bags of sand up to hold the membrane down until they can get more time on it.. it’ll likely go to insurance or the investment group …

          Good news, bad news, good news...

          Good news, I found the dea mouse that had been stinking out or storeroom
          Bad news, it was in the box of HDMI cables

            “Seems odd to have a whole box of defective HDMI cables, guess we should throw them out and order new.”

                battling with my brain for control
                it seems determined to just wander off and please itself
                I on the other hand need to get some work done

                  We ended up having to pay a little for Fed, and got very little back from state. All around close to even, but still enough to annoy the wife.

                      Refund.... she's used to getting a large refund.

                      Of course I think we came out real close to right.

                        My goal is to be even as well. I dislike giving an interest-free loan.

                              I've gotten to that point in my career and life that I'm past sugar coating the BS or looking the other way at companies. If your staff is openly incompetent or stealing from you (or the customers) or double dipping in the coffers, I'm just going to tell you. Don't expose your dirty laundry if you don't want it pointed out.

                                I had someone recently tell me that their CIO wanted to use Vmware over KVM because, and you can't make this stuff up, they liked "working with the biggest vendor."

                                Literally, they didn't care if it made sense for the purpose, they didn't care if it was reliable or cost effective, they didn't care if it was secure. They literally only wanted to know which product was made by the largest company. No IT factor considered.

                                And then, as incompetent as that is, with only a single thing to research; with no need to check on features, cost, licensing, support, price, or other complicated factors; they got the ONLY thing that they were considering wrong.

                                KVM is made by IBM at about $63bn USD. VMware is made by Broadcom at about $21bn USD. IBM is roughly three times the size. And IBM is the KIND of company that should make hypervisors, Broadcom really isn't. But that aside, no matter how insane it would be to consider market cap or revenue of a vendor as the determination of product applicability to a company, they got that one, insanely simple task, ass backwards.

                                When you are THAT dumb, it is pervasive. If you are dumb enough to think company size matters in some significant way, you are also so clueless as not to be able to determine company size.

                                    Yay, Tuesday. That is all.

                                    Things have been crazy around here with Vendors being stupid, and higher ups knee-jerking about "major security vulnerabilities" in apps that we don't have available off-site.

                                    Finally got all the fires of the last week and a Monday put out.

                                      Been a few days but dang near made the local news again- in a bad way. Forklift took out a beam within 30ft of the main six inch gas line… yikes! Glad it missed. No, it wasn’t me.

                                      Shutting down the previous warehouse this week and moving it to the new,.. mad scramble really starts now… getting printers moved and reset. Need printers for shipping.

                                      Gonna be fun. Oh- and still no heat, and it’s in the 30’s and light snow.

                                        Had a vendor try to sell me cloud hosting. I couldn't see the pricing (turns out they block their cloud from LATAM so I couldn't use it if I wanted to) so was asking about how they ran it and was told it was VMware and ColdFusion. I had no idea anyone was still so clueless as to build a public hosting infrastructure on Vmware, of all places that's where it makes the absolute least sense, and .... I learned that ColdFusion wasn't actually discontinued, more or less.

                                        So I learned that CF, which we had used back on the Token Ring network at IBM circa 2000 and it was a total joke already by that point, was discontinued as its own language and is now a scripting layer that runs on Java. The ColdFusion language itself was discontinued with CF5 that died in 2002. After that, CFML is a Java extension. Which is better, in a way. Except who really wants to be running Java servers for web hosting today outside of super specialized enterprise applications? For normal, every day web needs, that's no bueno. No knocking on Java, it's got its place. It's CF that seems super goofy.

                                          And, not surprising, their cost is about double that of the top enterprise players. Zero upsides, just high cost and no technical support team behind the scenes.
