@jextxadore I was certainly surprised.
Suddenly, Amazon's targeted advertisements are convinced I need this. Five sites now.

I've never once asked of Internet, "Hey, Internet, tell me about those golf cart things". Golf, as a sport, has never interested me. Hit ball. Walk. Hit ball. Walk. Seems pointless. This is likely the first time I have ever mentioned 'Golf' online.
No clue where this came from.
Someone might want to give the Ad-o-matic 2000 (Or whatever the Hell they call it) a whack with a wrench or something.
Presently answering, "What do you mean, 'It's dying'? We haven't had it that long" with..
It has a install date of 2005 and a 160GB IDE drive that SMART reports has spent a little over 11 years in a powered-on state.
..If he persists, I am going to read /var/log/messages output at him.
TO-DO LIST ADDENDUM
- Rethink how status and error messages sent by the server during SSL connection handshakes are displayed because they aren't very fun to diagnose via text messages the way they are now.
Is it five yet!?
If you are ever in a situation where you have to diagnose a SSL connection issue via text message while an office full of girls with strong Louisiana accents are shouting all at once into a phone at you.. You have my sympathy.
Status: 120 miles of back and forth driving from home yesterday and restoring a backup so a company in Louisiana could operate off my server.
Theirs developed a bad sector smack in the middle of their database. They were RAID mirrored but one of the drives went bad so they yanked it and never got around to replacing it….alrighty then.
Transferred data today from my server to a new one their tech built. Tech and manager are no-where to be found so I am on the phone with their managers and employees talking them through getting up and running. No, it isn't my job but most of the things I get saddled with aren't.
All the while, I'm diagnosing a database issue via text messages with a company in Indiana.
I need a drink.
Sometimes, it's easier to just implement a superfluous feature instead of spending seventeen years telling people, "We don't have that superfluous feature".
Watches compier output
In two days, I will receive what feels like my thousandth office chair.
It's a "Big and Tall" meant for people 6' tall and over. It had an irate review from a 5'4" woman who obviously did not read the description. Apparently her legs dangled at it's lowest height setting. It is supposedly rated for 400 pounds.
Dollars to doughnuts, it will be a wreck in under one year.
@kdfrawg Was sad to see Microsoft walk away from Flight Simulator. It had been around for so many years. Be amazing to see where it would have been with modern hardware. Flight Simulator X is still pretty impressive but it's going on eleven years old.

@streakmachine The final OS update I put on my 1st gen mini was the straw that broke it's back. Only thing it is used for now is an alternate remote for the Roku/AppleTV/iTunes. Otherwise, I think I'd wipe it and see if it helped.
