Waiting on movers to transport a rack of servers to a different site. More fun than you can imagine.

Oh,.. that’s why Star Trek: Discovery started buffering on Plex… well,.. dang

I wish... their guest wifi is pretty weak. But all servers have arrived safely at their new home, snuggled in an inch thick blanket of pallet wrap.

Starting to juggle job offers. This is before my severance ends, so things are looking up.

That can be a challenge. If they are close enough in details it could come down to the expected environment, and future challenges.

Best of luck.

Thanks. I'm waiting on final details for a couple, but don't expect one back till next week.

Glad I'm not worrying about finding work this time around!

Getting ready to go see one of the most amazing psychedelic rock bands of our time... EARTHLESS. They are playing a little dive bar in East Atlanta, and our whole band will be in attendance. If you have never heard of them, here's a clip from a Mojave desert concert during covid:

I wish the actual live footage of the band was on this, it's incredible.

My Windows Datacenter license will be delivered today so I get to upgrade my home lab servers from 2012 r2 to 2022. Yay!

Accepted a job offer this morning, so I'm back to work tomorrow.

Slight raise to base pay, but I'll also get 5% of my billable hours. So if I keep my billable hours up, a big raise.

Only downside is that it's on-site in downtown Cleveland.

Congrats! Hope it goes well.

Ohio? But, why, though?

I've lived here for 99% of my life, we're kind of stuck with the "golden handcuffs" of a 3% mortgage, but mostly because the wife doesn't want to leave the area.

Edit: Other conversations reminded me that I should mention one other aspect. I applied to many remote positions as well, but none of them made a job offer.

@travisdh1 ah, yeah. I have a 2.25% rate presently. Not ever changing it.
