What Are You Doing Right Now

And we only have 3 Mac's for now. But hope to grow from there. We have debated for some lower level staff of having them on Chromebooks. Most of their job would be just online posting for customers. So the Chromebook would be perfect for them.

Since GroveSocial is well Social/Marketing. There are a lot of Apps available via the apple store for us to use for free that make our job much easier.
As far as Pages and Numbers the why is more the why not. MS Word is reading things just fine and I can read Word documents without any issues. So there is no real reason not to. Pages has everything I have needed for formatting and well typing a document. So I am not seeing a significant benefit to move to Libreoffice at all (just another thing to have installed) and I do work from the Ipad a bit when traveling so having that just seamlessly work is very nice. There is a way to use Libreoffice on the Ipad but it is horrible.
Righto. So I imagine that you are going cloud storage with versioning and Time Machine for end point backups?
Yes we are.

@Minion-Queen do you at least get a choice in colour?
-
For the Mac's? Well they come in 2 colors really so not really there. However you better believe that all my accessories match cause Mac stuff has a million pretty colored accessories to choose from. And as you can imagine everything is very girly looking. Some people on my team complain when they get something of mine cause it is either purple or pink

Working on getting everything setup for the new family farm business. Looks like I will be doing part-time IT work for them.

@handsofqwerty I'll take Android stuff if you don't want it! 8-)

I am actually just getting to work today since my son had tubes put in his ears this morning. Everything went well, and he was hanging from the ceiling fans when I left the house. (I think the docs gave him a shot of adrenaline or something, lol).

Just found out it is going to be cool and rainy in Morocco this weekend. Total score. Nice weather for Fes. Going to be very neat.

No, I got it because I WANTED Android and not the Apple stuff.
-
@handsofqwerty Smart man! But I'll take Apple stuff too, lol... best of both worlds and all that.

Trying to get as much work done as possible. Long weekend coming up and we are traveling starting the moment I am done with work. Going to be an awesome weekend.

Getting GroveSocial moved over to all Mac/Apple everything. We had been using Office365 but not going to keep paying for full MS Office. So learning to use Mac/Apple Apps for everything. Email is still O365 exchange but no MS applications at all on that side for me.
It's not as painful as I thought it would be
What about LibreOffice? Free on Mac and way more full featured than the Apple tools.
NeoOffice tends to work better on macs

I have a group of users that's actually breaking stuff faster than I can fix it. While this is indeed in my best interests to remain employed, I still wish to slap them all about with a trout ala monty python. I need to get some stress relief soon.

Interesting browser I just found https://www.waterfoxproject.org/#about

I wonder if the ICC compiler is really much faster than GCC these days. GCC probably gets way more research. ICC was great twenty years ago and is probably still the best, but is the margin very big?
