2004 Invoice from Pogo Linux for Vorticon64 PC workstation

Oldschool throwback below! This was my primary workstation during law school. This was when I was really expanding my business (working during law school) and setting the foundation for future growth. It was setup on a huge work table with dual monitors and I accomplished a lot on this system. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ Tech notes: RAM was upgraded after receipt of system. SSD was eventually added as well but the Raptor was a pretty fast HDD for back then. This was a

Suggested maximum size is 2500 pixels. and you have tried all the normal solutions (adjusting php.ini, other upload settings) then I suggest checking your plugins for potential issues. Here is the error screenshot: Specifically, I encountered this error when the following plugin was enabled: After you deactivate potentially troublesome plugins, you

[SOLVED] Lenovo BSOD on Windows 7, Windows has recovered from an unexpected shutdown

One my clients uses a number of Lenovo mini PC systems. The systems perform very well for their intended purposes, however, some of the systems were sporadically shutting down (blue screen of death). Thankfully, disabling Bluetooth devices/adapters in Device Managerย seems to have permanently resolve the issue. The client did not need the bluetooth capability in the first place, so now all is well ๐Ÿ™‚ For reference, here is the error message and assorted diagnostic info: Problem signature: Problem Event Name:

Recently I was tasked with recommending a digital signage solution for a client. Specifically, they needed centralized maintenance and control of approximately 20-30 signs covering 10-12 locations.

AT&T LTE speeds in Pierce CO [speedtest]

I have been in CO for work and to visit family. Part of our stay has been in Pierce which is in northern CO.

Order SQL query manually when numeric string representation is out of order

In some instances, doing a straight ORDER BY ASC (OR DESC) does not work as one might want: 0-50 101-200 201-300 301-400 401-500 501-600 51-100 601+ That is not how humans do it ๐Ÿ˜‰ A way to get around this, is to add a new column and put in an ordering value, for instance: 1. 0-50 2. 51-100 3. 101-200 4. 201-300 5. 301-400 6. 401-500 7. 501-600 8. 601+ Now that is much better ๐Ÿ™‚ Here is a real

Select top 2 rows from records, grouped/partitioned by Unique ID

The Problem: A client needed a query that selected the two most recent tour dates for each user ID. This is an easy task for a single user ID because specifying the user ID and an ORDER BY tour_date DESC with a LIMIT 2 clause would get the dates needed. However, when there are a lot of users it gets harder. For a single date, the MAX function works great but in our instance it will not work because we
