Someone brought in a bunch of the glasses so most of the office went outside to check it out. We only got a partial, but it was still cool. Then someone created a Jira task for watching the eclipse to make sure we could all record our time correctly.

Last post by config t - April 09, 2024, 02:49:12 PMCaught a nasty cold so dealing with that. I rarely leave work if I'm already there but my energy is zapped so I went to morning meetings and called it a half day.

Yes, I do, and it is becoming more and more desert every day with the lake drying up. There are still some places to dive near by. Nothing that comes close to the Caribbean, but still good enough. I didn't get the generator done. I was missing parts I thought I had. Hardware store helped out, but there are a couple items I had to order. Supposed to be delivered this week.
This is my last week at the old job. So this weekend will be filled with small get togethers with coworkers that couldn't get together during the week. Then the wife leaves for another work trip on Sunday night.

Last post by config t - April 04, 2024, 05:12:25 PMMy tax refund this year is kinda insane cuz I only worked half the year and I also got married.
Debt free since 2017 so I definitely condone getting out of debt and making regular extra payments on principal if you have a mortgage. We plan to buy a house and pay it off asap when the market stops being stupid.

Quote from: Otanx on April 02, 2024, 03:26:32 PMWe have had some big windstorms off and on the last few weeks. One of the cabinets on the back side of the house tipped over, and broke up. Still need to clean up the parts. Luckily nothing important in it.
Wife is traveling for work this week so I get the place to my self. Using that time to build an O2 generator so I can make my own Nitrox for SCUBA. Getting it put together in the living room, and once I have it working I will take it up to my brothers place where the compressor is and mount it. Just need to get it done before Friday night.

Last post by deanwebb - April 03, 2024, 09:08:09 AMDid my taxes today and got a noice refund because of solar panels. 
That will pay off some other home improvements at higher interest rates and I get a snowball running that way. (SNOWBALL: taking what was paid for one account that is closed out and applying it to the next one. Start with highest interest rates and work down. Best benefit is on accounts where paying off the principal early reduces total interest paid.)

Taking a pair of sick days because I'm feeling run down from the last few weeks of travel and work and not having enough time for rest.

Last post by deanwebb - March 29, 2024, 02:50:30 PMWe had gig speeds on PCs 10 years ago. Yours should be fine - it's not the processor that limits speed.
Your Internet provider would have you test speed directly from the modem, with no device in between.
For my Internet, I'm getting 600-700 Mbps down and 30-40 up, as it's cable internet. If you are on fiber it should be very close to 1Gbps up and down UNLESS there are lots of other households sharing the line. If you get faster speeds when everyone in your neighborhood is asleep, then you have a shared connection that impacts performance.
