Cooler, wet.<\/p>\n
Yesterday was cool and wet, with spotty rain throughout the day.\u00a0 I mostly stayed indoors.<\/p>\n
Did a little bit of work on my client’s issues, mostly ordering replacement stuff and working with the controls programmer to troubleshoot issues that looked like failing hardware.\u00a0\u00a0 It turned out to most likely be a software issue.\u00a0 The touchscreens had a little widget to get the local temp and weather conditions from the internet, but someone somewhere changed something, and the widget broke.\u00a0 It didn’t fail gracefully and kept causing buffer overflows with error messages or error states (I’m not clear, and not being a programmer, only care a little.)\u00a0 He eliminated the widget and the error logs stopped filling up.\u00a0 Hopefully problem solved, but only time will tell.\u00a0 Word to the wise, external links will break, and that may cause issues that look completely unrelated.<\/p>\n
My new hard drive came so I’ll probably put that in today if the weather remains wet.\u00a0 Hard to believe that 8TB of name brand and extra sturdy HD is only $220.\u00a0 The new NVR software records everything in .mkv format, which leads to some huge files.\u00a0 I might have to actually read the users guide to figure out how to get some smaller files, without losing too much quality.\u00a0 The old software had months of recorded imagery, where the new only has days.\u00a0 Of course the old would often miss recording very short duration events, like someone walking past the camera.\u00a0 And I’ve added two 8mpx cams to the streams.\u00a0 Still, I should be able to get a lot more on the drive than I am.\u00a0 Doubling capacity to 8 days isn’t really enough.<\/p>\n
WRT wuflu, secondary and tertiary effects are starting to manifest.\u00a0 Low oil prices due to low demand.\u00a0 Food shortages due to plant closings because of high infection rates in staff. \u00a0 Crime increases due to prisoners being released, and decreased policing.\u00a0 History says, it will get worse before it gets better.\u00a0 Prepare yourself.<\/p>\n
Stay in and stay safe.<\/p>\n
