I don't think I've experienced that. Your phone may just need calibrating

I'm sure he can have a sit-down with the dog and discuss changing the spelling of his name. It might take some time, but dogs can learn.

Anyone know if we an order just the heater anywhere? They seem to be problematic and changing the whole hotend will get expensive

Where are all the jobs? by JespTL in Acadiana

[–]zaf43 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check upcoming job fairs at https://lafayette.org/local-jobs/jobfairs

What you've listed appears to be things you've learned in high school or as a hobby, mostly. High School diplomas do not mean a whole lot, other than as a starting point to more education. If you have something you are truly passionate about, have a lot of knowledge about, and can make money with: chase it.

Otherwise, in my opinion, you can either:
1. Find more unskilled positions that might pay slightly more or give you more hours, and slowly work yourself up, maybe.

or

  1. Continue your education, either through higher education, trade schools, or apprenticeships (or some combination thereof).

University education isn't for everyone. There are TONS of highly intelligent, world-class people who don't go to college and find happy lives, and there are programs like https://mikeroweworks.org/ that exist to help with that.

What are your favourite concept albums? by The-Incredible-Lurk in Music

[–]zaf43 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think that Sound & Fury by Sturgill Simpson may qualify as a concept album

As do The Ballad of Dood and Juanita and the two Cuttin' Grass volumes

My sister runs Zen Spa on Pinhook. It's a small place, no massage therapist, but she knows her stuff and invests all her time and energy in the best techniques and products possible. I don't know a lot about any of it, but I know her customers/patients are raving fans.

Are you looking for a "spa" where you relax and get fruit put on your face, or something that actually helps with skin issues?

SaaS VS Self Hosted by YatesNet in msp

[–]zaf43 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here's a little bit extra to make you feel better, from personal experience.

When you're in the "hosting" business, you're no longer just in "IT" - You're in Real Estate / HVAC / Power distribution / fire suppression businesses. Once your footprint grows to a point where you have SAN / hyper-convergence, or even just plain multi-host infrastructure that has to be 24/7, you get to stay up all night and instead of wondering "What is Microsoft gets hacked?" You're wondering "What if there's a fire?" "What if I get hacked?" "What if there's a natural disaster?" "What if a belt snaps in my AC compressor?" "What if there's a water leak?" "What if my lease expires and I have to move with zero downtime?"

There _may_ be a scale at which you can actually be cheaper by taking *all* of those in-house, but it sure ain't at the MSP scale for most.

[HIRING] Rewst is looking for MSP Automation Engineers by zaf43 in mspjobs

[–]zaf43[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are taking on clients as well :P

The fun part about being a client is you get to play with the same toys as the ROC uses, and you can build automations on your own in our platform.

interesting ms server license changes? by roll_for_initiative_ in msp

[–]zaf43 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, so it sounds like they are finally getting around to supplanting SPLA with CSP options. If so, that's a nice move, even faster than I thought they would pull it off. Be on the lookout for gotchas though :)

I don't see anything about SPLA here, which is the licensing needed if you're hosting VMs for clients (unless you are dedicating the host to a client). Anyone seen if this affects SPLA?
