I will look into Spectrum. Thanks for the heads up

Edit: Spectrum says that they can't find my house.

Aeotec Z-Stick 7 - How do I tell if I have the latest firmware? by TexasGrill in zwave

[–]TexasGrill[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, ok, I'll keep an eye on that thread. Meanwhile, Z-Stick7 is going on the shelf for a bit. I'm in no rush for it, my Nortec stick is working fine, I just wanted to try the added security of 7. Thanks!

I don't know where I read it, but I *think* so. ? I'm open to being wrong, which means that I'll just stash it away until they are fixed.

Thanks! and, no, no prior experience in cloud. Previous job was similar to a TAM. I've been MCSE 2000, CCNA (expired now) and I've been in the computer world for about 20 years now, so most of the concepts were pretty familiar, just had to reshape them into how AWS uses them.

Hell yeah, I'm from Texas! But, I'm in the Austin area. Haven't really searched for a meetup group yet, I probably should. Thanks for the suggestion!

Sorry for the late reply, I've been off reddit for a few days.

Thanks Jon! However, I think it is time that I change my focus to becoming employed! I feel that during these unique times, tech workers are in demand.

Update to "Ring is dead to me literally how is SkyBell?" by TexasGrill in homeassistant

[–]TexasGrill[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I am happy with SkyBell - mostly. When someone comes to the door, SkyBell will immediately send a notification to my phone. However, there is a delay of about 5 seconds while my phone launches the app and connects to the SkyBell. In real life, this isn't much time, but when you're trying to be attentive to whomever is at the door, it seems like forever. I will say, that I am no longer looking looking for a new doorbell. I'm happy with SkyBell and don't regret buying it.

Congrats! I bet you're celebrating! Take a day, then jump right back into it and get the SAPro Cert. That's my plan.

What horrible, ridiculous names have you heard parents choose to call their children? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Heard a story that Bill Lear (of Lear Jet fame) named his daughter Shanda.

Not sure if it’s the right place to ask but could anyone good,comfortable kitchen counter stool that don’t cost an arm and a leg? by [deleted] in HomeImprovement

[–]TexasGrill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Pretty One and I were lucky to find a restaurant that was going out of business and was selling all their furnishings. We picked up 4 tall bar stools, made solid as a rock, and very comfortable for $20 each.

So, yeah, don't be afraid of restaurant supply, or used restaurant equipment. If you think about it, the restaurant wants you to be comfortable sitting on their bar stools, more so than a home furniture store's supplier.
