@wirestyle22 I hope there is a trophy shop nearby so you can get that user an "I'm an idiot!" trophy or plaque, as he/she proved their idiocy in one fell swoop.

Troubleshooting with user reporting black screen. Ask them if the cable is plugged in. They tell me the bios text isn't loading either.
User: Of course it's plugged in. I'm not an idiot!
Me: Okay Okay. no problem.
<situation doesn't make sense. might as well drive>
Arrive at site
Check DVI cable.
It's loose.
Everything working.

That's just it--they don't. I can't even explain this company. It's like that place Tim Curry must have been in before he stepped out of that mirror in Legend.

Good morning ML! Hoping to stay warm here today. Feels like -7 here this morning.... brrrrrrrrr. In other news @art_of_shred got our Pellet stove fixed yesterday so we have actual heat in our house, just in time!
Oh - so @art_of_shred is useful for something more than complaining about my 'response time' and taking the initiative on something... or .[redacted].
@art_of_shred - Oh ye grand wise one of the Uni(brow)

A-yup... happens all the time. But they swear it's plugged in.. or it has paper,.. and it's the correct printer.
It's never their fault..

I wonder if he still has it... After all, he had to work around fire and stuff yesterday... Maybe the Uni(brow) is now gone up in smoke?

Did someone just rip the stuff out of the rack?

that looks like one of my closets in our old building... no room for a rack in it though. It's a nightmare, i just leave the door shut.

No this was after we had moved the cab and started but it was that messy (the patch panel was in place before hand lol) can't find the "before" shot.
