Good Friday morning. The wipers worked perfectly on my commute to work. We have had another 1/2 inch of rain. More is coming and it is still raining. No complaints. None of Oklahoma is in a severe drought anymore. Central and eastern OK are out of drought conditions and only western OK is in any form of drought and they are getting rain. The forecast is for lots more so we may all be out of the drought.

Now we just need to get some rain for California. They need some more mudslides.

I think my FIL is having a REALLY late mid life crisis(he just turned 65).

He bought an 85 Trans Am this week. Its very beat but must run. I haven't talked to him about the plans for it.
When one of my wife's co-workers found out I own a Porsche 911 they asked if I bought a Porsche for my mid-life crisis. She replied that would be mathematically impossible. I bought my first Porsche when I was 19 and I am over 3 times that old right now.

Brother introduced me after I drove up in my BoxsterS. The person asked me if I was having a mid-life crisis driving a Porsche. My brother quickly answered him saying that if Richard had a mid-life crisis, he would have to marry some chick with 8 kids and start driving a mini-van. A month or so later my Brother bought a Corvette.

Our problem with Office365 thru att is when we log into the att portal to manage the account and licensing it's all correct, when we log into the Office365 admin, it says our licenses have been revoked. When we call the 365 tech support they say its a att problem and transfer us to att, whom say everything is correct and tranfer us back to 365 support. This will be the second day on this merry go round with nothing changing. So far we have moved up 3 tiers in tech support with no change except for the names of the people we talk to.

just got an estimate of 4 or 5 days. They still have no idea how or why all of our licenses got revoked. Sure give me a shift load of confidence in their company.

Goin ta make me one of them BLT samuches fo lunchin. Don't know if I'll toast the bread or not.

And while I'm on toast...has anyone else noticed when the toast comes out of a modern toaster it is not hardly hot enough to melt butter? My old toaster (that had to be replaced) you had to be careful or you would burn yourself when the toast first came out of the toaster, but it melted butter great! And for some reason the new toaster's toast just isn't as good, seems tougher or something.

And while I'm on it, my new oven and range take a LOT longer to heat up than the old one did!

Mornin.
I severely dislike the cloud, (unless I am flying)
I also don't drink or smoke.
My wipers work fine on the cars that have them,
I am non stinky and a non hippie,
and I am a redhead.

Richard, once this is done convince them to set up a RAM drive as a boot drive on all remaining servers since RAM is so much faster than solid state or spinny drives. I don't really have to put that in green do I?

There used to be a mac app for that back in the day when they system fit on a 400K floppy. Amazingly it was called Ram Disk.

Oh Great, My boss that has been handling communications for the license problem left for the weekend. They supposedly reassigned licenses, but missed 21 people and gave a license to one user that was never migrated, and we now have a user that has a license but is not connected to his data OR active directory.

I am on hold with 365 tech support that initially tried to transfer me to billing again.

Well, att tech support is a bunch of freakin pass the buck idiots. They passed my call to someone that couldn't even access the support issue information. What a bunch of dip wads.

At a former job we had one piece of equipment that was Sold by Kodak, with all IBM brand computers and Noritsu photo printing equipment.

With virtually every tech support call the three companies pointed their fingers at the others.

Stijn!!

That is burry temps dude.

Long story not described because it is boring but we now have a second RC30 aerial camera. This is the rear of the lens. It weighs almost 200 pounds.



This is the spare now. That square part is a 9x9 where the film platten pushes the film flat with a vacuum.

Well, gots me butt chewed via emal by not one but two bosses today, BUT guess what. Freakin Email is WORKING again!

Called ATT after the first transfer I ask questions about the issue we were having, if they didn't know told them I was talking to the wrong person and to transfer me to someone that knew what was going on. I would be put on hold for 5 to 10 minutes then passed to someone else. Got hung up on twice. After 2 hours of getting transferred around I gave up and told them our company needs to find a host that knows what they are doing for our 500 email accounts.

20 minutes after I hung up my direct boss sent me an email raging on me for contacting them. Then told me they had just called him and they had it working and for ME to check and make sure. Then my bosses boss sent me and email telling me I stepped way out of bounds for what I did and that's not how he wants his department to work.

But, Hey, Raised enough stink I got our email working. ATT told my boss 4 to 5 days. I got it not totally fixed, but at least working within 2 and a half hours.

Flakes the whole lot of them.

Sounds like the bosses are simply trying to justify their salaries
