Opened the door for a second this morning, and an enormous orange tom showed up on the steps. He had a big scar over his eye, and looked like a real badass. Fathead's gonna have his work cut out for him with that one. That may be who I heard him yelling at earlier this week. Interested to see how it works out. I hope Fathead retains control. I kinda like him.

Well that didn't go as planned. Wanted to fly my drone around the yard, mostly to get shots of the snow on the roof. Lost control and crashed into the house and it landed upside down with props going at full tilt. It just would not turn off. Ended up having to pull the battery as anything I was doing would not turn it off. I have all my fingers so that's what counts I guess lol. But what a stupid thing it should be easier to turn it off when something goes wrong. Like there should be a kill switch on the controller or something.

The footage is not all that spectacular otherwise I'd upload it. When close to the house it seems to fly really erratically. Best to stick to the field lol.

Some 3rd party sales company, sold us on an AT&T fiber upgrade that wasn't technically possible/available to our building. Guess the sales team doesn't know any details on the customer accounts they solicit. At least the technician that dropped by today fixed our non-functional phone jack so now we can use the phone in the computer room. Been over a year since it ceased working.

Sales people can be so retarded about the product they sell sometimes.

When we got FTTH service in my area, we decided we wanted it in the office as a test setup so we can tell if it goes down. We work inside the CO, where the FTTH is literally terminating at. The sales people were trying to tell us that it was not available in our area. We are INSIDE the CO. INSIDE! The rack is like 15 feet from our office. We can literally run a patch cord. My manager had to fight with them so we could get it. Only reason they even had to be called was for accounting purposes. You can't just use up a random port on the equipment.
