A friend of mine has her own two hour radio show every Saturday afternoon, on our local free radio. Yesterday she had me on air as a guest so we could nerd out about open source stuff and Linux. And while radio isn't really my medium, she'd invited me before and if you prompt me on any of my favourite subjects I will talk for as long as you let me, so that was quite fun.

The reason she'd come up with this idea was that I had been telling her about my plans to do a series of (in person) workshops on Linux, for un-nerdy, "regular" folks who just want their devices to work for them and maybe save some money or get an older laptop going again or avoid Win 11. Or just find community and support for something they need but are struggling with. So naturally we talked about those plans as well.

And then in the last seven minutes (with another live show coming up right after us), something started to beep. Took us a moment to realise it was the studio phone (a landline that could be put on air), but then my friend went to answer and handed it over to me fairly quickly. On the other end was a person who'd recently installed Ubuntu and who was having really weird errors in their text on screen sometimes.

This is nothing I can diagnose on the phone (if at all) when there's a queue of people waiting for us to vacate the studio so I got their phone number, and later texted them my email address asking for screenshots. But it was just so WILD to me. Somebody is listening to the local radio?? To the stuff we've just been putting out for two hours? Bantering about open source software interspersed with actually quite nice jazz stuff?!? And they are desperate or inspired enough to dig up the radio's phone number and call??????

This is still sending me a little. (Btw I have since received the screenshots, this is really wild shit – my money is on it being a Wayland issue because I've seen that be the source of random strange display problems but if it is, it's still extremely weird, and if it isn't I really don't know what else this could be.)

And then on my walk home later in the evening I happened to meet an old friend who I haven't seen in forever, going the other way on a bike with her younger kid in the trailer, and we chatted for a bit. I told her about the radio show and my plans for Linux workshops, and her eyes opened wide and she said PLEASE let me know, this is exactly what I need right now, so we checked whether our contact information was still up to date and I went home in another bit of a daze. Like, I seem to be hitting a nerve here. I did think in this town there should be enough people interested in using Linux, but for them to immediately start crawling out of hiding holes the moment I say something out loud – wicked.

I'm looking forward to this 🙃

A long overdue "New Site" update…it's a little long, but PLEASE READ IT, plus there is a double surprise buried in the post. Consider it a little bit of a treasure hunt to make you read!

First up…to those out in Nebraska with that tornado, my thoughts are with you all.

Sorry to everyone on the delay with an update, I've been VERY hard at work migrating everything I could over to the new site, and sadly…there were migration issues which I expected there would be, but not the amount, or the errors. I tend to be a bit overly anal with how I want things done, how I want them to work and be presented to the customer, and as such…I keep finding little things here & there I don't like and want changed. Either I can change it or I need whomever on the support team to change it, and due to that, sometimes it just takes a little bit longer. So while I wait…I search for bugs, and I squash them. I'm one of those…let's make it better than 100% kinda guys.

ANYWAYS…I wanted to let you all know, as I said previously, we are very close to launching, and there are a few things to be aware of!!!

When we launch, I will simply take down the blocked landing page you currently cannot get past, and I will not announce it because when I do…I'll be sending out account activation emails first. PLEASE WAIT FOR YOUR ACCOUNT ACTIVATION EMAIL!!! This will be an automated send, I just click a button and it will send out batches of emails for me. The problem here is that I have almost 10,000 customers currently (this fact blew me away, but some them I think are fake accounts and some have never purchased anything for whatever reason)…this process will take a while to happen!!! It might be a day, it might be two days, just please wait otherwise you will have issues logging in.

While I was able to import 100% of the customer accounts, I was NOT able to import about 90% of the addresses. This is due to multiple accounts having 5 or more addresses listed as ship-to listings due to moving around the country, being stationed overseas in the military, etc. For sanity reasons, I did not pick an address to import as most would likely be the wrong one…but that won't stop you from checking out. Just fill in your address when you check out, it's that simple.

Again…as we have posted before, we COULD NOT migrate your Wishlist (items you saved in a list you want to purchase later on), and we COULD NOT migrate your Waislist (items that were out of stock at the time and you would get an email when they were restocked).

The Wishlists were just S.O.L. for exporting data. Nothing I could do there.

The Waitlist for Back In Stock Notifications however…I was able to export, but there is no way to import that data, and as such, I have a file with over 700 entries on it, so I would HIHGLY suggest if you had something you were signed up for to be notified when it comes back in stock…EMAIL ME so I can send you the list. There's too many people on the list to email them all out, it would cause everyone's email servers to mark me as a spam bot and then you'd never see the store emails.

During this migration, we've received the 4 NEW releases from Iron Wind Metals which are the new Rifleman, Archer, Night Gyr, and Jade Phoenis A variant as well as a full restock on Iron Wind Metals miniatures, 2 restocks on Catalyst Game Labs including Clan Invasion Salvage Boxes, The Army Painter which included restocks on the brand new Fanatics line of paints, Gale Force Nine including the new Atlean Steppes bundle from Thunderhead Studio, some Pokemon items, and various other pieces.

We've also got 4 whole new lines showing up! 2 of which are ALREADY STOCKED RIGHT NOW (one has been requested over and over and I'm going against my better judgement in expanding this section of the store, so we shall see how that goes), another will hopefully be stocked in the next 2-4 weeks…and the other about 2 months from now!

The past shipping issues of the US Postal Service and UPS overquoting SEEM to be gone. I've tested this EXTENSIVELY and after roughly 10 years of dealing with that, and being stuck in the middle of those services blaming the shopping software and then the shopping software blaming those services…I just cannot be happier to move on from that problem. It was a MASSIVE pain in the butt, and I'm happy to have that behind me. However I will say this, I did do some tweaking to the shipping system on the new site which may, or may not need to be reverted. Only time will tell as more orders come in, but my testing says it's solid…but customers always find a way to make me pull what's left of my hair out as they submit an order I never thought possible! LOL

Local Pickup is now an option for ALL U.S. based customers…so if happen to be traveling from California and are passing through Kenosha WI…we can accommodate that, but as with the previous system, we will email you to arrange a time & date that works for all of us!

U.K. customers…sorry, but you guys still have to get past that dollar threshold to have shipping options show up. My best advice as always…DO GROUP PURCHASES!!!

Germany…yes, I know, you're still starving for stuff. I'm working on it, but it's not easy due to language barriers with companies out that way…but yes, I'M WORKING ON IT!!!

Lastly, and this is a recent development, we will be expanding our offerings of Digital STL files! We are going to do a little expansion there, just to see how it works out. This was literally a "just last week" thing, which I'm working on the interface now for and that pushed things back a day or two, so sorry on that. More on this in the coming weeks.

With all that said…we plan to open in the next couple days (best case scenario), and start those account activation emails rolling out. So keep an eye out on your emails!!!

Hey, everyone!

I know this doesn't have anything to do with comedy, but I just wanted to bring awareness to some weird phishing thing that happened to me today.

So I have been looking for a new job as a proofreader, and I applied for a few remote positions on Indeed and LinkedIn.

Anyway, I got a totally sketchy text this morning from Chegg Inc. saying I'd be perfect for their Remote Proofreader/Editor position. I quickly looked up the company name, found it was a legitimate textbook business, and thought "why not try for it?"

So I got on Skype and went thru the WEIRDEST "interview" I have ever been on.

Now, I know that some companies are using texting in early-stage interviews (you know, that point where they are just checking that you are a human lol), so I figured this made some sense. But everything about this felt off. The dude's profile picture was just a bunch of guys partying (not very professional), and the texts sent to me felt like a bot was chatting with me—real uncanny valley.

So I answered 12 questions that seemed like standard interview ones (what do you do if you make a mistake? Why did you get into proofreading?), but question nine had "Poofrading" instead of "Proofreading" (I pointed out this error in my reply).

Once that was done, the scambot said I seem like a perfect fit and then asked for some basic info so they could send me equipment (expensive stuff like a MacBook Pro that I couldn't afford). I gave them my name, address, phone and email (all basic stuff that's publicly available). They also asked for my bank's name, so I told them that (no question about an account number or SSN since that would be too suspicious, I guess).

After that, the bot said to be back at 8am tomorrow for the orientation.

It then said do you have any questions. I was like, yes...is this a contract or permanent position? And what health insurance do you have?

So the bot said it's a part-time and full-time job that is permanent or you can quit when you want (REALLY confusing answer there). It never answered my question about health insurance, which seems like a pretty simple query.

Anyway, after that WEIRD exchange on Skype, I messaged my sister and was like I need to talk to you NOW. I think I'm being scammed.

While waiting for her to reply (she's on the West coast and I'm near Philly), I quickly looked up this company in my spreadsheet of jobs to see if I'd applied to it and forgotten (nope!) and then searched on Chegg's website to see if such a job had been posted (nuh-uh).

So anyway, that's my story with fake recruiters. It seems that phishing has come a LONG way since Nigerian princes...I'm just glad I caught on before I got too invested or spent money I didn't have.

Has anyone else been through this sort of experience? I'd love to know I'm not the only naive knucklehead out there haha ✌🏼🐔

[masterjedilenawrites]

AHH Lena ive got a problem!! so i think my blog got hacked into???? but theres nothing diffrent/changed so im not sure but it i was looking at stuff and it says i was "active" at some place ive never been to? but the thing is that weekend i had traveled and somewhat close (like to the neighboring state but it was on the other side away from me) and im not sure if it could just be a glitch? but im still quite worried. i mean i just changed my password but it says it was active recently and i dont know what to do and i dont want to delete my blog (its super small anyways so it wouldnt matter tho)

Don’t panic friend! I’ve got some ideas for you based on some research I’ve done.

(Also apologies for any typos, i’m typing this out on mobile in a waiting room lol)

So, i hadn’t heard of this “active sessions” section of Tumblr before, but quickly found it on the web version under account settings. According to Tumblr’s FAQs, this shows any log ins/access sessions to your Tumblr account by browser, and includes location info, to help you keep your account secure.

Looking at mine, I recognized various devices I’ve used over the past several months, with the locations as my home town. Two logs stood out to me though. 1 - my current session (marked as “current” in green) says my location is in a different part of the state. Odd, but could be due to having a new phone? 2 - apparently a session back in April came from a completely different state. Very odd right?

If i’d come across this back in April, i probably would’ve freaked out like you anon. But the fact it happened 3 months ago (and i haven’t noticed any unusual activity on my account), i couldn’t help but wonder how accurate these locations are…

Hence a research rabbit hole about IP addresses. You’ll notice underneath the city/state display is a string of numbers. This is the IP address of the browser’s network connection. There are several free websites where you can search that IP address and get a much more accurate location… Apparently, IP addresses may not always be accurate due to the geolocation databases they run through. So at the time of that connection, my location was displaying as one place when I was really somewhere else. But when I search that IP address now, it shows my current and accurate location.

I’ve also experienced odd location issues in other areas… like when I access Netflix from a new device and it sends a confirmation email, it usually has the city wrong.

So… this is what I did to look into the odd location activity on my account and i’m comfortable saying it was a IP address geolocation error. It’s possible that’s what you’re seeing on your account too.

If not… next step i would recommend is to double check the email address you have on the account. If someone actually hacked your account, that would be one of the first things they’d change in order to keep access. Really look at the address because sometimes they’ll try to throw you off by making a similar email but with like an added dot, or an extra letter that you wouldn’t catch at first glance. You can change it back to your own address in addition to changing your password.

Those are my two main ideas. I’m not an expert in these things but that’s where i would start, especially if you’re not seeing any suspicious activity on your account. Anyone else with ideas or experience here, feel free to chime in!

How to Handle Non-Payment Excuses?

Every business owner in Austin, TX, knows that managing unpaid invoices can be a headache. While some clients have genuine reasons for late payments, others might only have excuses. Knowing how to deal with these excuses is the key to smooth cash flow.

Common non-payment excuses and how to handle them

"I never got the invoice."

Always send invoices using traceable methods, such as registered mail or email with read receipts. This way, if a client says they did get the invoice, you can provide proof of delivery.

"The invoice has an error."

Sometimes, clients might claim that there was a mistake on the invoice that led to payment delays. Check the details on your invoice regularly to avoid mistakes. If a client points out a genuine error, confirm it, fix it, and resend the invoice immediately.

"The person who handles payments is on vacation."

While it might be true, it should not be used as an excuse for late payments. Ask your clients to have more than one person authorized for payments or a backup payment process.

"We are waiting on our client's payment."

Businesses can face cash flow challenges, but payment agreements must still be upheld. If a client faces difficulties, understand their situation and remind them of the agreed payment terms. If needed, you can also offer a structured payment plan, but make sure it is in writing.

"We are not happy with the service or product."

This can be a genuine concern or just an excuse. Always encourage clients to provide feedback as soon as you have provided a service or product. If a client is unhappy, address their concerns immediately. This proactive approach can help prevent payment delays.

Why not hire a debt collection agency?

Handling these excuses yourself can be tiring and time-consuming. This is where a  Austincollection agency can help.

Collection agencies understand the local business environment and client dynamics. They will evaluate each unpaid invoice and determine the best way to approach the debtor through letters, phone calls, or in-person meetings. With consistent and professional follow-ups, clients take the payment more seriously.

Remember that the agency's goal is to recover the unpaid amount while maintaining a positive relationship with the client. But should the debt situation escalate, they are well-versed in Federal and Texas debt collection laws and can take lawful actions.

Good collection agencies also offer guidance on preventing late payments in the first place. This can include suggestions on refining your terms of service or improving invoicing methods.

Concluding Thoughts

If you are an Austin business dealing with unpaid debts, partnering with a collection agency like Williams Rush & Associates can make things much easier. Instead of chasing customers, our debt collection services enable you to redirect your time, efforts, and resources into growing your business. Fill out WRA's online form or call (855) 869-9847 to learn how we can help you with your debt collection needs!

Basic Understanding of EtherNet Protocol

EtherNet Protocol

Hello, fellow network enthusiasts! Today I want to share with you some basics of EtherNet protocol, one of the most widely used standards for data communication. EtherNet protocol is a set of rules that define how devices on a network send and receive data packets. It also specifies how to identify devices, how to handle collisions and errors, and how to organize data into frames. EtherNet protocol is based on the idea of a shared medium, where all devices can access the same cable or wireless channel. This makes it simple and flexible, but also requires some coordination to avoid conflicts. Let’s dive into some of the key features of EtherNet protocol and see how it works in practice!

MAC address: Every device on an EtherNet network has a unique identifier called a MAC address, which is a 48-bit number usually written in hexadecimal format. For example, 00:1A:4B:9C:5D:6E is a valid MAC address. The MAC address is assigned by the manufacturer of the device and cannot be changed. It is used to identify the source and destination of each data packet on the network. - Frame: A frame is the basic unit of data transmission on an EtherNet network. It consists of a header, a payload, and a trailer. The header contains the MAC addresses of the source and destination devices, as well as other information such as the type of data and the length of the payload. The payload is the actual data being sent, such as an email message or a web page. The trailer contains a checksum that verifies the integrity of the data and detects any errors or corruption. - CSMA/CD: CSMA/CD stands for Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection. It is a method that EtherNet devices use to avoid collisions on the shared medium. A collision occurs when two or more devices try to send data at the same time, resulting in garbled signals and lost data. To prevent this, each device listens to the medium before sending data and waits until it is idle. If a device detects a collision while sending data, it stops and waits for a random amount of time before trying again. This way, the probability of collisions decreases as the number of retries increases.

If you are interested to understand more about the EtherNet Protocol, then you can go through the PiEmbSysTech EtherNet Protocol Tutorial Blog. If you have any questions or query, that you need to get answer or you have any idea to share it with the community, you can use Piest Forum.

I hope this brief introduction has given you some insight into how EtherNet protocol works and why it is so popular and reliable. If you want to learn more about EtherNet protocol and other network topics, stay tuned for more posts from me! Thanks for reading and happy networking!

"ANOTHER CHANCE" EXPLOSION

True story:  An artist whose work I long appreciated wanted to join our roster. He'd sent samples periodically since 2016; I'd watched him grow, enjoying his covers, pinups, and occasional story but wondered why he had not soared to stardom status.  Perhaps I could make the difference. 

I started him with a cover assignment, but he didn't follow the description and even his revised layout required a lot of back-and-forth.  Then he went quiet for many days.  He finally responded that he'd had to take care of his mother after complications with COVID, but he was back in the studio to resume work. Too late. I'd already reassigned the cover, which was drawn/colored/approved/paid for before I heard from him.  And I wondered precisely how COVID had affected his keyboard and telephone. What stopped him from a 1-sentence update warning me he couldn't finish the job on the agreed-upon schedule?  I told him as much, saying he needed clear communication; he told me he understood. Another project came his way, a 4-pages-wide banner/poster for a big event to honor certain people.  A reasonable budget, basically 8 large panels, lots of references all provided, a clear deadline -- I wrote to him, "Our last attempt to work together didn't go so well...."  He took three days to accept the job offer, blaming it on his sick mother.

On September 14th, he agreed to the 4-page assignment and generous three-week deadline of October 5th, acknowledging that included time for a colorist to do his part. On September 20th, the client asked why she had not received a layout to review.  I emailed or texted the artist multiple times each day asking for updates, to which he didn't respond. In fact, he didn't deliver the layout until September 29th.  I reminded him that he needed to pencil and ink the art in time for the colorist to deliver by October 5th. Client asked for corrections to the layout; October 5th, deadline day, still no revised layout, and the artist begged for "extra days,"  

Client gave him an extension to October 15th, which of course he blew right past.  The artist wrote, "Sorry about that, I was sick and that's why I missed the deadline I asked for more for you, and soon after that i took a test i was diagnosed with COVID and went to the hospital and stayed a few days away from my studio and drawing board, but I'm fine, i just had this mishap that made me waste time, I would like to finish the work, I will do my best, but i need a few more days to finish the pencils and inks, if i can continue i will be grateful. Sorry I didn't let you know I was sick."  Yet again, I was left wondering what prevented the artist from having someone text me a 1-line warning me, so I could reassign the job to meet the deadline.  He promised to deliver by October 22nd.

On October 18th, he wrote he was "finishing the details and will be sending it to you tomorrow." "Tomorrow" became four days later, yet he turned in only pencils for two of the eight large panels.

Eight more days passed before he completed pencils, on October 26th.  Bizarrely, some of his figures were oddly distorted, as if references had been adjusted in Photoshop without the Proportions locked.  I questioned the error multiple times. When he finally addressed it, he blamed the client, saying the distortions were in the pencils but the client approved them that way. The artist began delivering inked images one panel at a time for the colorist; of course, those distorted images were still not corrected, so the colorist had to make the revisions as best he could.

What's more, when the client and colorist asked about missing images in the Dropbox, the artist insisted he'd uploaded them.  So I screen captured a shot of everything in the Dropbox, sent it to the artist, and said, "SHOW me exactly where those images are."  He blamed the error on Dropbox and not on his failure to check/confirm the upload, and we lost yet another day waiting for him finally to upload the remaining pieces.

In the end, the colorist stayed up working 28 hours straight to deliver the files, coloring and adjusting and finessing and assembling the many pieces to deliver an acceptable final piece to the client.

Oblivious to his harm to the client and his many, many. muck-ups, the artist wrote to me afterward, "Sorry again for this inconvenience and delay, but in the end the job worked.  I would like another chance and hope we can continue working together."

Seriously?  My webmaster removed him from our roster today.  I don't need that kind of stress or damage to our company's reputation.  And our clients deserve professionals.

AOL Mail Problems Today

When you send an email, do you ever wonder if the recipient actually got it? What occurs online doesn't always make sense. Theoretically, black holes should be able to devour email.

Occasionally, you will receive a failure notice when an email is not successfully delivered. However, it's also common to hear nothing at all.

Spam filters delete messages.

Your message can be deleted before it reaches its intended inbox because of anti-SPAM software. There are a variety of anti-spam systems available, and they all have slightly different approaches to analyzing the subject line. Using any of those terms in an email's subject line will result in the message being marked as spam. And reasoning out which terms to avoid isn't a surefire bet. To a certain extent, it is possible to tailor applications to the user's preferred set of keywords.

A similar thing happened with my webmaster. I called to make sure she got the latest information I emailed her and to chat a bit. Did You Get Updates? was the topic line. Her anti-spam software flagged the word "get" in the subject line as SPAM and deleted the email without opening it. Just who would have guessed? I was aware that I shouldn't use "Free" or any other price-related terms in the subject line, but "get" never crossed my mind.

Over the past three years, I've been utilizing a mass-mailing application to communicate with the other 350 members of a charity organization I'm involved with. The members' e-mail has always been delivered without a hitch. In the past six months, however, several service providers, like AOL and Earthlink, have begun classifying these communications as SPAM because they identify the software I am using. The only method I've found to get past this obstacle is to make sure every one of our 350 members has my email address saved in their contacts. In that case, the transmission will be rejected.

Verification of Shipping

So, if you don't get an error notice, is there a simple way to determine if your message was received? I guess you could pick up the phone and make sure your message made it. But caution is required. A person may view your eagerness for a response as an indication that you cannot or will not wait for a satisfactory response.

To begin, you could remark "Just checking in as a matter of politeness. I just wanted to double-check that you received the crucial email I just sent. I wanted to make sure you got this knowledge as soon as possible because I know you needed it." They'll think you're attempting to help them out and be efficient at the same time. The other person won't see your tone as demanding and go on the defense in response to you.

Confirm Email Reception

If you're on the receiving end of emails, you can do a world of good by always responding to confirm receipt. Just hit the reply button to let the sender know you saw their message, even if you can't provide an immediate response. Adopt this practice regularly. Just shoot back a brief response like, "Thanks. I received your message but won't be able to respond till tomorrow." Alternatively, something much shorter would suffice, "I received your email. We promise to get back to you as soon as possible."

Start now to get into the practice of responding to emails you receive. Replying to an email to let the recipient know you received it is simple and much appreciated.

In the first and second parts of this series, we looked at various issues related to the delivery of marketing emails. Here are some other features of email filters that may hinder your email marketing efforts.

Frequently Read Email

The volume of spam messages hitting an ISP's servers is another factor that can raise your spam rating. It is recommended that if you have a big number of lists, you do not send them out in the order of ISP. Instead, you should send all emails to subscribers in alphabetical order or by the day they signed up since this will significantly reduce the volume of emails sent to a single ISP in a short period of time.

It is extremely rare for an Internet service provider to begin rejecting mail due to an excessive volume of traffic. Sending your email marketing campaign on slower days may help (i.e. early Monday morning, or Sunday).

In addition to These Methods of Distribution

Signing up for an account with one of the main email providers is one of the greatest ways to see if your email marketing is reaching its intended audience (i.e. AOL, Hotmail, and Yahoo). If your emails were not delivered or went to the bulk folder after sending them, you should get in touch with the relevant email service provider for guidance. It's possible that you won't even need to open individual email accounts if you use a list management provider. You can verify the feature's efficacy by requesting and reviewing any available delivery reports.

In contrast to AOL's bulk sender status, most major ISPs offer white list tools that anyone can utilize. A number of competing list management firms have already earned this level of trust from their clientele.

Various servers and ISPs provide their customers a measure of agency by including a whitelisting feature that lets them exclude certain email addresses from being screened.

Successful and fruitful email marketing campaigns depend on many factors, one of which is a compelling marketing message. One of the largest and most challenging issues many internet marketers confront in eCommerce today is delivering these email marketing campaigns. Even if only one subscriber does not receive your message, your time, money, and potential profit are all lost. Learn how to navigate email filters effectively.
