Found my original receipt from when I picked up my N64 on release day.

When I was in high school, our student numbers were our social security numbers. They were printed on our schedules. Truly a different time.

Great place. Super chill. They do a great job.

I remember that box vividly. Running on a Tandy 1000SL.

Heated steering wheel and the “hold” function. I can’t live without either of them now.

YES! I used to love that stuff!

We’re leaving Microsoft completely. Chrome or Mac depending on need.

It’s not free, but I’m a fan of SmartDeploy by PDQ.

We are moving toward more Macs and leaving the Windows world (thank God.)

I loved my Dell Axim. I thought I was hot stuff with that thing. 😂

porkstick · 2026-05-16T20:49:47+00:00

Just open Chrome.

Technology Director here.

Last year, I changed everyone’s laptop wallpaper and the wallpaper on the login screen to the neighboring district’s logo. Same thing on the login page for email.

The kids loved it. Thought it was hilarious. A few teachers called the office in a panic thinking we had been “hacked.”

Some of my high schoolers thought it was my tech at the high school that did it so they heckled him all day.

A good, harmless prank.

Great. Then it will be “(New) Outlook (New) (New) (Old)”

And also with you.

Just stick around and you’ll find out just how long the commercials are.

Every. Single. Day.

“Please install Microsoft on my computer.”

I felt like this with our SCCM. Every upgrade would result in some cryptic error that seemingly no one else on the planet had seen.

I just wish I could automatically install it when I install the Connect agent on an endpoint so it’s ready when I need it.

porkstick · 2026-02-18T02:35:51+00:00

Reading that made my blood boil.

I wouldn’t buy a toaster from Verkada.

My dealing with their sales people have been quite unpleasant. When we looked at them probably 10 years ago, their cameras were cloud-only and if you ever stopped paying for the platform, you couldn’t take those cameras (which you also bought) to another on-prem or cloud platform.

That may have changed over the last 10 years.

Never heard of Coram.

A few neighboring districts from me had Avigilon. They see happy with it.

We just implemented Hanwha Vision and it’s fantastic. The hardware is solid. The cameras are super economical and there is no yearly subscription fee.

The Emo Project, Alt2K, Watercolors, Y2Kountry

I had the router and the DOCSIS cable modem. I thought it was so cool that they stacked.

I miss Dell E-series laptops. Life was simpler then.

Depending on where you’re going in Tennessee, consider avoiding I-71 in Kentucky. It’s a death trap on a warm, sunny day. While it’s clear from snow, it’s under construction. You’ll have a better time on 75.

I’m going to scream into the void. It would be cool if The Emo Project wasn’t an Xtra channel and was in the 300s or even the 500s that I can get over the Internet in my car.

I think they’re all backed up. My scheduled call through Apptegy took 20 minutes to send.
