Windstorm Was Crazy

Posted on November 20, 2024 by larry

It was wild, branches collected where they never did before, around out cars and in front of our door.

It was a mess, had to clean some of it up before leaving for work.

The storm did start about 2PM with some wind, I was at work, and headed home.

I was not done with my steps so I walked around RTC, maybe that was dangerous, but I finished around 5:30.

As scheduled around 7PM it started whipping, I am glad I had things ready, UPS, power station etc.

I joked with my coworker that the power station was a talisman to ward off power outages. We got flickering but nothing really went off for an extended time.

I do think my UPS downstairs need new batteries, didn’t hold up at all.

Also I think we are not done, there is another wind storm headed here Friday Morning.

Going To Work Early

Posted on November 19, 2024 by larry

Going to work early because I intend to come home early. Posting now because may not have electricity later.

Recall yesterday I posted about a possible wind storm in that may knock out electricity.

Hoping to get my steps done at work early and tonight will just be sitting around, with minimal activity.

Ready For Windstorm

Posted on November 18, 2024 by larry

Looks like there will be a pretty viscous wind storm tomorrow around 6 or 7PM.

We are prepared for this, I kind of want to see if we will pass this test.

Got the generator, supplies, power banks are charged, got water and some food.

Unexpected Seahawks Win

Posted on November 17, 2024 by larry

I admit, I wrote off the Seahawks this year, but they won.

I worked while they were playing, then went to the gym.

Could be bad luck for me to watch.

Office looking better, but function is great.

A Lot Of KVM

Posted on November 16, 2024 by larry

This is is the most I have paid for a KVM

I have unboxed it and got two of the four channels connected. Couple things I realized

#1 I have a lot of KVM, even on my desk I have 2 four channel KVMs, and a 4 Channel HDMI switch. Those are not the only one in my room, there is another in my rack, and another in the two racks I have.

#2 Yes they came with 6 foot cables, but they are too short.

#3 This is obvious, but still a surprise, you need two video cables.

#4 I knew I was doing display port, but I don’t have that many DP cables.

This is how much I pad

This does NOT include the longer cables I needed.

New KVM

Posted on November 15, 2024 by larry

Its still in the box but I purchased a relatively higher end KVM. This is one of the more expensive KVM I have purchased. If you exclude rack mounted ones, this is the most expensive. It can support 4 channels with 2 monitors each.

This one I will do a proper review, hopefully you will see it by next weekend.
