ready for my weekend, cant remember the last time I posted on this site. But I read it every day.
I don't post every day either,.. it's not here to 'run numbers' it's here as a tool. If you have a question or something to offer great - please post away... but never feel obligated to do so...
But we are glad you are here..

Just had an iPad decide to switch the Ethernet IP setting back to Automatic and it assigned a link-local IP (169.254.x.x) and I'm thankful I finished Network+ classes cause I recognized the IP and was able to have it fixed in 2 minutes (set back to manual and update IP address ) - feeling accomplished today so far.
One of the occasional cases when it’s not DNS. Or the five computer I had here last week where it was DHCP.
Flush and shorten the lease period…
Create: eight print queues
Stage: two new Juniper switch’s
Onboard: ship hardware
Remote: fix a scanner, Outlook/ network share,
Just your typical day,…
Yes, ran 5A this year,.. and man I am struggling today.
Ran solar/battery/ QRP Digital and then moved over to the regular Digital station. 
Putting off the work I need to do for work I sorta want to do but really shouldn't be doing when all the other work needs to be done.
Dug up a desktop for testing - rather have something newer with a little more memory and CPU,.. but ProxMox is installed and waiting for me to work on it. SSH works,.. not done anything else. In theory, this will free up / allow for retirement of the current UI controller, rPi 3dprinter and allow me to add a SDR receiver / recorder...
Been home just twelve hours now,.. unloaded and few hours of sleep finally - jeez it feels nice to sleep after the last week.
Now - Into pickup back up the Proxmox install I started.. Time to load an ISO and start migrating to it. While some of that runs - back into work with all the notes and follow ups. Whee...
Gonna need more memory - but I already knew this:
S A P
Troubleshooting recovery. Was a long day yesterday, as in sixteen hours long on normal day and participating in root cause of a performance issue with our systems. Included running two 150’ ‘patch cables to isolate some of it..
Boils down to it ain’t my network though the computer itself could use a replacement..
I tired- of course I didn’t just sit there, I helped the VP ship and palletize a few hundred orders…
Merry Christmas
Happy holidays
Bah humbug.
Does that cover everyone?

@gjacobse sounds like fun
I always build my own PC's as I have to slowly upgrade as budget permits.
Franken PCs are the thing for me.
I never gamed until the last few years, and had mainly used laptops for my general daily workings.
Last new desktop I had was the one NTG sent me when I started, which was 2015 or so. That pc still runs for one of the kids. I picked up a Dell 8700 for me, it it was already used…
Oh the horror..
Installing Windows on the Custom Built Gaming PC for myself. This is the first new PC for me in a long time, and the first custom build I have done, and first GAMING PC I've built..
GAH - what have I done.
Oh, and merry Christmas to us, kid was a passenger in a single vehicle car wreck.
Driver lost control on wet roads. Shaken and stirred but other wise oka.
Proxmox build and service migration day.
Rebuilt the Proxmox install and getting the ubnt controller moved over finally. This host is a bit more than the last - but not where I may go with this - getting close to time to replace the NAS. So, why not put it all into one box that is more up to date than the four computers that are 8-12 years old already..
Fun times ahead.
Latitude E5430
Expired 29 MAR 2014
I think I have turned this computer off for the last time. Has been running Ubuntu Server (because: Reasons) for a while with the Unifi controller. With Prox running it now, I don't think it needs to run any longer..
Seems the battery is still good too.. but - it's retired.. we thank you for your service..

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.
@Obsolesce ouch
I’ve taken some hits and falls, but as far as I know, been lucky this far.
My day will come- likely like my dads, falling at 85 yo and breaking a hip…
Here for a successful recovery.
While not with Scale - Just checking on my home hack Proxmox - Old desktop computer running simple sessions right now.
One UBNT Wifi Controller
One Windows for Ham radio
Likely add another Linux system with an SDR on it for something.. just not sure what yet. Over all - it's not fairing to badly.

Surgery went well. Now day after surgery. Localized numbing wore off early AM. Popliteal nerve block starting to wear off too. The pain is real.
Glad surgery went well and that you are now on the path to recovery. Set goals and keep moving (literally) forward.
I find it interesting how much I have managed to get into here, not just addressing site or global tickets, but also doing some project work, server admin(mainly printers), powershell scripts, and procurement.
Current project is looking at some managed screen (digital) signage… and managed to end up the lead on growing list of sites for it…
Oh well, back to creating user accounts for now.

Canceling PT for my daughter (19 months old) for tomorrow -
The whole reason is cause she's been slow to walk and was on the outside of that "normal range" - Thursday last week after we confirmed the appointment she stood up and started walking all over the place - There is no stopping her now! She's a walking machine.
Excellent!
