Bluetooth!!

Pulled up my bluetooth networking preference pane. There are 8 other devices in the list besides my Mouse and iPhone.

Went to iStumbler a networking tool for scanning for network devices and checked bluetooth. There aver over 30 unnamed bluetooth devices within range of my laptop! The only devices I have are named, my laptop and it's mouse, my iPhone, and my AppleTV and it's remote. Wonder what those 30 are? Never had more than just my local stuff show up.

I have 3 servers, but have the bluetooth turned off on them. Wow, 30!

My laptop is seeing more bluetooth devices than wifi networks.

Phew, this work stuff is kinda like um WORK!

We flew the project today. If was nice in that it was 78 degree on February 15th, 2018. No coat needed. Now my jerk boss is gonna make me work all evening to process the data we just flew. The dang customer wants to see data tomorrow before noon! Since he has paid up, we deliver.

In the late 1980s, I took my 914 in to Dumont's for them to replace the first gear syncro. After a lot of miles and 4 or 5 hundred autocrosses first gear was hard to shift into. The cool part of a 901 transmission is one can pull the nose piece off of the transmission and replace the first gear syncro real easy. They got me in and out fast. It was my only car back then so I had my former boss pick me up and drop me off the next day. Dang that seems like a lifetime ago. I sold the 914 in 1995. I bought it in 1974 for $6,750 miles drove it as my only car for until I bought the El Camino in 1991. I sold the 914 for $4,500 after 159,000 fun filled miles and more autocrosses than any street car should endure.

With the warm weather this afternoon discovered the AC button on the 928 is currently only a suggestion or some sort of placebo. Either way, no cold airs.

Getting a list of little things that quit working probably just because the car has been just sitting for so long.

Yea, I had the AC running on the El Camino on the way home from the airport.

We are expecting a 40 degree drop outside so AC will not be needed tomorrow.

Yea, it was handy to have them local. When I first got my 911 the passenger side window looked like someone was scraping ice off the window with a diamond ring scratching the window. It was bad. I went to OK Foreign and they had a window in stock. It has been part of my car ever since.

Good Friday morning. It is handy to have a third computer. My main system is hogged out processing the data, second computer is converting it to the format the customer wants. I have to use a laptop to see Pelican.

Not even sure about that at the moment, but I did find a nice 2" conduit at the house to make sure it shows up.

Did they put something in the water? Everyone at work seems to have turned stupid.

A customer got someone's email address wrong and called wanting us to update our user's email to what it already is so emails will get delivered correctly if he uses the correct email address? The person that received that call submitted and IT Help to correct our user's email address from what it already to what it already is? The IT Help desk forwarded this help ticket to me telling the submitter that I would update our user's email address.

Phew, busy day so far. The client we flew for yesterday is based in NYC. He wants the data back ASAP or faster.

He has yet to sign a long term commitment for us to do his work so that we could considered it a regular client. We are always looking for more business. We had a business meeting at lunch time today with another client based in Colorado that happened to be in town for personal reasons. A face to face meeting was great.

The NYC client is coming to town next week to have a face to face with us.

Seems like CMS is a lot more international than GCAM or Ace was.

Not really. We did work from the border of Texas and Mexico to North Dakota, the Great Lakes area, lots in the SE and a few Colorado and New Mexico and tons in Arkansas and Kansas. Louisiana, Tennessee. We have never been past the Rockies in the past. We have one job bid for a beach in Maui. My partner mentioned it might takes several days of working on a tan to get that one flown. I am not clear on how getting a tan is needed while flying a project but he said he would send pictures.
