GT6MK3 Posted February 8, 2019 Author Posted February 8, 2019 Day 39. This is what happens when you leave an OCD nerd alone to put whiteboards in his office.
Rod1883 Posted February 8, 2019 Posted February 8, 2019 How do you ensure the tripod of the level, is level?

Though how you know that is calibrated...... I usually find the human eye is sensitive enough and corrects for other stuff like walls/ceiling not horizontal etc. Question is Craig, are you allowing the observers in influence your behaviour.....
RedRooster Posted February 8, 2019 Posted February 8, 2019 Why didn't you center them on the wall, looks wrong being all squashed up to the right. RR
oldtuckunder Posted February 8, 2019 Posted February 8, 2019 There is a piece of Vespa installation Artwork to go in that space!
GT6MK3 Posted February 8, 2019 Author Posted February 8, 2019 The laser has a hanging plum bob thingy (call me Mr Teknickell) inside that self levels. If the green light is on on the top, you're good to go. I need two whiteboards to write up the network status (there's a job I'm dreading), and the layout lends itself to putting the work space down the back. I'll be putting some skydive photos on the wall up the front where I can se it day to day. I built a clock out of one of Buffy's side panels Alan, but its going in the garage. The partners at work are already walking in and shaking their heads at the multi screen pc, wandering off muttering something about mollycoddling their tame nerd. C.
Nick Jones Posted February 8, 2019 Posted February 8, 2019 What's this..... you are getting a not at home office...? Is this wise? 39 minutes ago, GT6MK3 said: muttering something about mollycoddling their tame nerd Soon come running when it (IT) doesn't work......
GT6MK3 Posted February 9, 2019 Author Posted February 9, 2019 Day 40. Pulling up the van at home just before midnight. 15 hour workday after little sleep, with another to come tomorrow. Been shuttling between 4 sites ripping the data out of an outdated and unsupported version of Exchange sever, and forklifting it in chunks up to the cloud. Well tired, need to put out the flame at at least one end of the candle, hopefully the middle too.
GT6MK3 Posted February 10, 2019 Author Posted February 10, 2019 Day 41. A day spent immersed in full nerd mode. Brain currently hurts. Need a day outside soon.
Hamish Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 Impressive set up. I wouldn’t have a clue what it all does but i I do know you are missing your maltessers!!

Eh By Gum Lad when I started them there TV things would have been lined listing paper cello taped to the wall, and that key board thing your using was an 80 col hand card punch like this: https://historictech.com/product/icl-hand-punch-card-machine-from-1969/ And you want stress lad, just try dropping a tray of 500 cards you have just finished hand punching on the floor! Mind you we could chain smoke all day at our desks, and a two hour lunch break at the pub was the norm rather than the exception and management wouldn't utter a squeak otherwise it was "i'm off to another contract" Can still remember getting my first 80 col Green Screen Terminal with Editor software on the mainframe so we no longer had to edit programs by pushing a chad back in a hole applying a bit of sticky tape to hold it in place and then over punching the card. Its all gone down hill since those days! Alan Oh and you could pat a punch girl on the Bum, and get a smile in return instead of needing to effect a £1M NDA........ Lets get on with Brexit and put things back as they were. Edited February 10, 2019 by oldtuckunder Decided to be non PC :-)
GT6MK3 Posted February 11, 2019 Author Posted February 11, 2019 Punch cards were once part of my skill set, as were triple carbons, band printers and Winchester drives. Its a lot better these days!
GT6MK3 Posted February 11, 2019 Author Posted February 11, 2019 Day 42. Senior management’s birthday, and after calling her to organize to meet for dinner, I pocket FaceTimed her. While fishing the phone out of my pocket to figure out what the noise was, I managed to hit enough buttons to screenshot this. A photo of her, even a bad one with a shocker of me in the corner is welcome relief!
GT6MK3 Posted February 12, 2019 Author Posted February 12, 2019 Day 43. 5th day of a network changeover, end finally in sight. At least the day was spent in an office with a view.
GT6MK3 Posted February 13, 2019 Author Posted February 13, 2019 Day 44. It certainly doesn’t look like I’ve spent 4 hours putting away the mess in the garage.
Nick Jones Posted February 13, 2019 Posted February 13, 2019 Oh..... I dunno…….. there's some floor visible! Might have to send you a broom though..... Have similar problems and probably need to clear a car sized space for next week The same car was there just a couple of weeks ago - dunno what happened to the gap it left!
Hamish Posted February 13, 2019 Posted February 13, 2019 Jeez I bet there are some huntsman spiders lurking there !!!

rogerguzzi Posted February 13, 2019 Posted February 13, 2019 Hello All looks like my type of tidying(just pile it somewhere else)on/under the car etc The problem then is it had been in that place since God was a boy and now you have no idea were it is!(so another 4 hours wasted looking for it!) Roger

Especially the ones you can here walk. Let alone the ones that bite you when you are asleep so your arm swells up like ...... Glengarry NSW 1990.
RedRooster Posted February 13, 2019 Posted February 13, 2019 Got bitten by one when working in Malaysia, took well over a year to heal, i don't like spiders much either. RR
GT6MK3 Posted February 14, 2019 Author Posted February 14, 2019 Day 45. Thre three rules of luggage on a skydiving tour are pack light, take some more out, and pack lighter. This little daypack, a credit card and my parachute are all I’ve got till Sunday night.

And I guess pack it yourself !!!!? Edited February 14, 2019 by Hamish Edit pic
GT6MK3 Posted February 14, 2019 Author Posted February 14, 2019 After the first few thousand, packing parachutes becomes easy...
