Congrats! That sounds awesome. Sound like your new boss/company is very fortunate to have you.

So are they going back to Lync? I can't watch the video right now.

They JUST released Lync's replacement today, Skype for Business. It is TODAY that they stopped Lync.

Lync showed up as Skype for one of my power users on Friday, I believe. I didn't get the email from Microsoft until today. Thanks for the heads up Microsoft.

Unknown, tinkering behind the scenes.

I may not be much help, but we went from a huge house to a 2 bedroom condo and it has been great. Not having to deal with yard work has been a big plus. However, I would suggest a condo where your neighbors are on either side of you, not on top. We have had at least 3 instances where water has rained down from our ceiling because of our neighbor. Also, you might want to visit the condo when you know the neighbors are home so that you can listen to the noise level.

@MattSpeller, I normally have phantom vibrations and a warm sensation in my Thigh, in the area of my front pants pocket even when my phone is not there. No, I did not just wet myself...

Our phones are probably slowly killing us. Of course, in your case, the caffeine may be killing you.

I just wish I could convince our CEO to have beer on tap here at our Corporate office. I think that would make the office a more lively and enjoyable place to work.

Mmmmm I can't possibly see any issues with that. Hell, I could even sell my car.

Yeah, Portland has great mass transit. SO... I would be fine.

@MattSpeller I was living in Kansas City before I moved out here about 7 years ago. I was drinking Boulavard beer. It was good, but then my eyes were opened up to Youtube Video

It's a daunting task, but if I don't do it then the world could be over run with Portland micro brews. I must drink to save humanity!

Booked our cruise that takes us from Argentina to Chile three days ago. Will be my first cruise. Can't wait to sail all of the way around South America!

Back from the weekend in Cádiz and getting back into the groove of things.

Is it like one big vacation there in Spain? At least for now, until it becomes common place to just be surrounded by beauty.

That's why I'm spending the summer in Panama, fall in another part of Spain, winter in Argentina and spring in Chile! No chance to get board.

Dang! Yeah, I'm summering in Portland, Oregon, in the fall... staying Portland and then when winter comes... staying in Portland.

I'm glad it wasn't as bad as it could have been. I hope they understand and let you reschedule.

Dunking double stuffed oreos into my coffee.

Ah, the one time I don't do a search before posting. But yeah, it would be pretty awesome to at least get an unmanned mission.

At Unitrends all day today! Get to talk to pretty much everyone when I am here!

Hi @Minion-Queen, I used a hardware solution from Unitrends at my old job and really liked. I've been thinking about looking into them for my current job, but haven't been keeping up with them. What are your thoughts? What connection do you have with Unitrends?

That doesn't seem to explain why they don't make it work,though.

It's not a bug it's a feature.

With features like that, who needs bugs.

@scottalanmiller aren't you the same guy who did 4 grocery store runs the other day? Good grief man, you can get a whole bag of food at a time instead of a handful of carrots, it really saves time!

4 grocery runs in one day sounds normal to me... It is ridiculous that a bag of organic romaine hearts can be $4+ at one grocery store and then be $2+ at another. Gotta get those savings, man.

As long as you are not burning more in gas than you are saving running all over town looking for better deals! 8-)

I have a honda civic and the grocery stores aren't too far apart. Also, I've mentioned that to my wife... let's just say I still go to multiple grocery stores.
