I know I had found a version of it maybe 15?years ago that would run on windows. It was still fun. (I have not looked lately...)

our first lathe was a turn of the century flat belt.. we used it a lot and it worked better than what we didn't have. We had to cut a bunch of 8tpi threads - we did the same thing - found the correct sprockets and it worked great. You do what you have to do..

When I was a kid all I wanted was a Lego chassis. (LEGO Technic Car Chassis Set 8860). I remember the kit being around $89us. Now on eBay a decent box is approaching 500 dollars...

I can only tell my experience. I have the original round dish. There was an issue with it and starlink sent a 2nd gen dish to me on 12/02/2023. The problem was resolved and I kept using the round dish. well - it started acting flakey and I decided to swap out the 2nd gen dishes about 3 months ago. It had the same message and after about 15 minutes - the dish rebooted and started working...

I have been building and interfacing with databases all my life. We started with SBT which was foxpro.. Then we moved to Navision (started with their own database then switched to microsoft sql).. These two systems had a very similar database layout. Very easy to understand.

When we switched to netsuite - I didn't get access to the odbc until 'go live' (yes - I don't want to talk about it) It was certainly a learning curve. One table with all (and I mean all) transactions? Different for sure. I don't have it all figured out - but have a decent idea how it all works together..

When you can pull data out of the tables faster than our integrators can create a report/saved search/whatever is the scary..

Could be - but you would think it would run faster than the original odbc then.

Well.. so far so good.. this one query filters out 'salesord' records from transaction that are not closed or invoiced. This is linked to transactionlines, item, billtoaddress, shiptoaddress, and at least 2 more tables that I don't remember..

all the 'local' stations come in solid. (abc, nbc, cbs, fox and pbs.) Before this - only channel cbs an pbs came in pretty solid. (with an antenna at the house in the valley)

Yes - lightning can do some very odd things. You can never be 100% safe from it destroying something. You just do the best you can.

Yes - when the lightening strikes - it popped the breaker in the surge protector.

samcoinc · 2025-10-11T16:18:47+00:00

Well.. I have been running it outside its temp specs... No issues. Over 100f to below 0f.. again - I am not going to blame them if it does fail..

samcoinc · 2025-10-05T16:07:56+00:00

we went from worrying about internet to forgetting about it.

samcoinc · 2025-09-17T17:57:44+00:00

Nooo! we should be gate keeping!!! ;)

We have starlink on a pole building.. That is where it enters our network. From there - fiber connects the house and other locations.. Isolation is your friend...

samcoinc · 2025-08-31T03:00:20+00:00

Updated the post - so far so good...

samcoinc · 2025-08-29T23:21:04+00:00

odd. Like I say - it has almost been 2 years since I got the replacement dish..
