@BRRABill So in NJ, or still in PA?
PA.
I live in Yardley, which is right across the river from Trenton, NJ. Literally 2 houses from the Delaware.
Ah ok. I'm about 2 hours west near Lancaster.

I am familiar with that area. Am out there occasionally for stuff.
You anywhere hear the Iron Hill Brewery there? Or Lancaster Brewing Company?
-
I'm about 15 from those places. They are both "inner city" and I'm on the outskirts. Both great places. There are a lot of micro-pubs in this area.

Sitting at 585 waiting for The Fallen to finish setting up for a mid week (windy gig). I am going to be freezing by the time they are done
Outdoor gig? Those are always an adventure. We played on a side stage at a festival once that was sinking into the soft, wet mud on one side. We nearly rocked all our gear off the damn thing. The tall bass stack was teetering.

This is at least up on a nice deck.

Rarely thought about - but does the venue / band carry insurance on the equipment should something happen while on set?
-
@gjacobse almost certainly cheaper to just replace stuff when that happens.

@Minion-Queen Looks like the same sort of setup a local restaurant has.

I've never seen a musician with insurance on their gear. Not feasible usually (unless you like touring around with $20k vintage guitars and the like).

Maximum butt clench

No doubt, especially since we probably had 6-7 folks on the tiny stage. But we would have never stopped playing, all the way down into the mud... that was one of our best performances ever. Made lots of new fans that day.
edit - pics. doesn't really show how rickety the stage was.

Actually the sound guy has everything insured. But the band doesn't too expensive.

Well the person who runs the whole office for the employer who contracts me and everyone else had his computer going crazy. Spent all day yesterday and half of today getting it re-imaged and set back up. It's not perfect, as there were things that we couldn't resolve, due to time constraints (he lives in Canada and wanted to head home and is going onsite to meet with a potential client all next week) and I got to play the hero. It was a good day overall...

Trying to figure out if using curl for API calls to Graylog is lazy and I should try to do it another way or not.
(my programming skills are awful).

The "spend lots of money because I spent lots of money" in this thread is insane. SO much bad advice:
Ugh, I knew I shouldn't have responded to that thread.
Wow that last person is recommending VDI? I must be reading that wrong.

Having a look at the Middle of nowhere thread (https://mangolassi.it/topic/9820/really-i-work-in-the-middle-of-nowhere)
I had found some pictures of my state at night... lets just say there's a lot less lights.

Most of the state is in "The Dark Zone" I take it?

Good morning everyone. Slept on the floor with my kids last night and I'm feeling it this morning. I might be getting too old for concrete floors as beds.

Counting down the days to EOD Wednesday for my exit interview. They are going to get an earful of what needs to be addressed and why a certain someone does not deserve his manager title.

Just got a new keyboard and mouse, wondering whether to swap this keyboard with my home one - both Roccat, new one is a Ryos MK FX, Old is an Isku...so tempted to take the Mechanical one home for gaming etc, and the quieter//older membrane ISKU for work....
Also got the Roccat Kiro mouse for work and loving it so far!
