      Just got surprised by the door to our apartment just opening. Looks like maybe it is the cleaning lady. Unfortunately she speaks zero English and our Spanish is bad at the best of times and our Panamanian Spanish is so much worse than our Castillian!

          No Echo here, did not fit in the luggage.

          That's what we were doing, even with the Google Translate on the phone it was a bit of an effort.

            Ok, Google. Translate "I need new blankets" into Spanish.

            Google's response returns something about shearing sheep to make wool.

              Nothing so bizzare, aside from a request from the higher ups. It looks like we will have to have a separate RDS Collection (which means 2 more servers with beefy graphics cards...)

              So no technical reasons, just someone who heard a term and repeated it? I wonder how often it wouldn't be better to provide what they need and not what they want and just be coy about it. "Is this what you were looking for?" Since they don't likely know what the words mean and can't tell which is which by looking at it, they might never know that you fixed their issues for them. 🙂

              That's what we do. All they care about is the end result anyway.

                  We have a big Central American thunderstorm rolling in. Not sure if it is going to get to us or not. We can see it coming down hard north of the Rio Hato Airport and some to the south on the peninsula. Seems like anything like rain always passes by us here though.

                    Missing from this pic is the massive boxes of HDD's to be shredded that are in the cupboard that this pile of junk is blocking.

                      The vultures circling around here are super cool. Our apartment is right at their median flight height so we really get to watch them up close.

                        That is pretty cool. For about two months last year, there were 4 or 5 that would almost always seem like they were following me and circling, no matter where I went, lol.

                                    Actually, it's not so bad. It took about 2 hours on my laptop with plenty of apps loaded on it.

                                      Mine is done. I'm now on 10. I like it so far! I'll have to get used to the new look and feel but I like it. It's zippy!

                                        @dafyre I also have an i7, 12GB RAM and an SSD as my boot drive, so I had everything going for me for it to be fast.

                                          That shoud be blistering fast. My laptop has 16g of ram, and a 1TB drive. I saw a noticeable improvement, so here's hoping!
