        Oh the fun of driving across the country to see clients. That's what @g-jacobse is doing this morning too.

          Played about half an hour of BioShock before going to bed. It took a bit to get it all set up as we can't play it while the kids are awake, so needed to wait for my daughter to pass out from playing Dust all evening. Then we had to set up the Mac which we finally got sort of talking to the television, and set up my wife's laptop and streamed BioShock from the Windows laptop to the Mac laptop. We were both amazed that somehow it actually worked. Not great, but worked.

            Sitting out on the balcony getting caught up here waiting for some onsite work to begin.... turns out we had a tech drive eleven hours just to restart a switch that had crashed before no employee at the site, including the on call local IT guy from another firm, was willing to just power cycle some devices before putting someone in the car to drive two states away to just power cycle things!!

                Oh we are, no question there. They had a staff of three on a five hour call yesterday trying to troubleshoot an issue that was hardware failure they could have determined in minutes.

                  @scottalanmiller lol. For that customer, they should get the IT Crowd voicemail: "Try turning it off and on again and then call us back"

                    They wanted to. I can't believe everyone at that site isn't fired today.

                                I think my email address has been sold by an IT company... I'm getting dozens of "meeting requests" a day from various IT contractors/developers/maintainers.

                                  UGH that sucks!

                                  That happened to me 2 years ago after spiceworld. So last year everyone here used a alias email to put on prize stuff. Worked great.

                                    Yes, avoid giving out your email there and don't let them scan your badges. The whole thing is a collection for spam.

                                      Is it sad that I saw this:
                                      upload-b2395010-101b-407b-acd0-6e7e1cb12cdc

                                      And Immediately thought it was for a Live Action Role Playing group?

                                            Getting my new iPhone 6 ordered, since my iPhone 5s is toast. I took it out of the rice this morning after 2.5 days in there and.... nothing. Completely dead. As a doornail.
