w00t, just got called by the old concrete factory, i got myself a deal.
Basically they have an antique netware server running, and their concrete pouring / calculation machine runs it's software off that machine.
In the past they have always called me up when anything was wrong with it, but then the factory went bust, and now got restarted.
Basically the old netware 3.12 can't run on modern hardware, and the old hardware is very old and could die any minute.. their spare/backup server was tossed in the concrete mix when the factory workers were told the factory had gone bust.
Recently they started the plant up again ,So now they need me again.
4-5 months ago, the computer shop that works for them, called me up if i could do my magic
but he couldn't pay me cash , only in parts(to keep it off the books), but i don't need parts, i need cash.
And the computer shop can't manage his own work, so they wanted me to pull the project.
At some point i had told em it's not worth my while, and figured that was it.
But in the end they started to panic @ the plant, and said to the shop look, we'll pay him cash off the books, we can't be arsed, just make it happen, give us his number and we'll deal directly with him.
So that's 750 bucks towards my ammo buget right there
i'll order me a box of 1000 rds 7.62x51 NATO as soon as i get my permit.
