Hit the pool for a quick workout, then went to see the eye doctor. Got some new glasses coming soon.

I like Costco’s vision department. Always had good experiences to date.
The doctor and glasses are separate divisions. So that is nice. The doctor just gives you your prescription and doesn’t care if you buy glasses there, which I don’t.
I buy from eyebuydirect.com

We normally do too, but last time my prescription was screwed up so my glasses are bad and getting them from a secondary place means we have little recourse

If the script was bad then you take it to the doctor that wrote the bad prescription.
Eyebuydirect has also sent me new glasses when my last pair broke with an obvious manufacturing defect. All I had to do was file the claim and send in high resolution pictures.

Here is the new pair I got a week ago. The frames were $29. The rest was the lenses.

Anyone read the latest stuff from Micrsoft on passwords? I didn't think it was anything new to new honest, but they're suggesting that we no longer need to use complex passwords.
They used a mega grunty built for purpose password cracking hyper computer and found that it took 80 days to crack a 10 character password. A 12 character password was estimated to take a year or more.
I didn't think this was new news. I can remember learning about this timeframe years back.

We've seen listed time for cracking based on the tech of the day... and we can guess what our improvements will be in the future to guess how cracking will improve, but you do a proof every few years to see if your guesses where right.

Heading to Springfield Illinois to assist a new client with PCI compliance.

Waiting for Corsair support to get back to me about an RMA.
Their support must only have one employee. So far the ticket has been responded to twice in 16 days and only on the two Sundays. Once was asking for information that was already in the ticket. Mrs nadnerB has asked that I don't buy their stuff again. -
Building a new array on some cheap external thunderbolt storage. Had a disk in a predictive failure state causing all kinds of issues. Fortunately I was able to pull the data off of the array before it went.

Trying to move a Wordpress installation from one IIS server to another. Learning along the way.

@EddieJennings Point should be to move it from IIS to a LAMP stack.

On-High has dictated that only IIS will be used. Otherwise, I'd do that in a heartbeat

Does On-High maintain it or are they a client?

Unfortunately, there's no clear cut answer for this. It should be On-High's Wordpress developer contractor, but as far as the VM itself, that's going to fall back to my team.
