What Are You Doing Right Now

@Dashrender

KETV Meteorologist Matt Serwe says the Omaha metro should see at least 8 inches of snow -- but regardless of the final totals, he says the impact of the storm will be significant.

Please send that into the Ohio Valley....

Why? you need a day off ?

@Dashrender please send winter to the southeast. It's nearly 70 here today, and I feel really bad for the cherry trees that have now bloomed 3-4x since "winter" started this year. Our spring bloom will basically be nonexistent if this warm weather keeps up.

At least you've had some snow in the Ohio Valley this year. NE Ohio is ~35 inches short of our 45 inch average. I think I'm the only one complaining tho.

FTDI just released new windows drivers which will mess with counterfit chips.... again....

If you're having issues in the next day or three with anything that might be custom / one off / small production and uses USB -> Serial stuff - now you know why.

Interesting - I wonder if that was a problem I had years ago with one of those converters.

@Dashrender It was just last year that they did the last driver update that psudo-bricked counterfeit FTDI chips.

Replication is broken between all of our sites, AD is puking errors like no tomorrow. Looks like we'll have to recreate most of it from scratch to dump a bunch of legacy garbage.

Best part - boss is going on vacation Thursday for over a month.

Best best part - she's our AD expert.

Bestest part - there's no time to fix any of it before she leaves.

I'd like to order a case of bandaids, hope and bailing wire please.

Add a case of Knob Creek to that also.
