Hope to look Eric up in Hamilton, have to see what the time table allows. Looks to be a whirlwind tour.
Those of you very patiently, (and nicely) awaiting things from me, thank you. You guys have no idea how much ass busting I have had to do the past month and a half. I WILL be shipping car parts to a couple of people Mon and Tue. I WILL be working on/finishing some LED lighting projects.
I have been buried up to my neck in computer repairs the past few weeks, its been nuts. Just got done placing an order for a new server for an insurance company today.. After I spent the last two weeks fixing various other issues they had. Their current server was a typical desktop machine someone converted into a server, which the hard drive died just over a year later in, which I had to fix first, as they had been down for 3 weeks prior to calling me. I had them up and running in a few days, just had to wait for some parts was all.
And that was just the one customer. That doesn't include the tons of virus FBI calls, the "my internet isn't working" calls, and the tons of other small (and larger) problems I fix.
You see guys, I do it all. Rebuild, repair, remove viruses, fix software issues, manage several companies with servers (and many without), install and manage networks, security setups (even camera systems with remote access), wireless hotspots, sell both used/rebuilt, new custom built, laptops, add ons, printers, etc. If it has something to do with a computer (and a few things that don't) I typically deal with it.
Granted, I'm a one man shop, and I probably have less than a 1000 customers, but I still keep hopping. I service a rough 50 mile radius, plus two or three islands. Planning to move from a borrowed shop location to my own building hopefully the beginning of summer, so I can go more legit. If things keep going like they are now, I don't see why not.
Anyway, that's what I do, when I'm not working with the ambulance as an EMT or the fire dept as a fully trained FF1&2/WF1&2 as well.
And on top of all that, I have 3 kids/family that live in Sault Sainte Marie Ontario that I am with every weekend without fail. Someday I would like to make that a tad more permanent.
So just some info, if a few have been itching to get their stuff. I'm certainly not being lazy.
Anyway see you guys when I get back.
