[H] looking for a motion controlled security camera.. quick!
Thisis a last minute thing that has come up, I need a solution as soon as possible, i.e. something available at Best Buy, Circuit City or Fry's. I'm looking for a security camera that can be mounted remotely, is motion sensored and can send data to a PC or recording device such as a DVR when it detects motion. We are on vacation for 10 days and I need something such as this for inside the house. Any suggestions? thnaks

I doubt you'll find anything worth a damn for any quality thwre. Get a real bnc type varifocus camera with ir and weather proofed and a decent 60fps or so dvr.

[H] external drive enclosures ?
Have a customer with those stupid little Dell cases so I set her up with a external drive enclosure with a drive for backup with System Guardian. Enclosure failed, has to go 24/7 any recommendations of something that can take the pressure appreciated. The one I used was cheap, probably not the best solution. :'( fp -- Tallyho ! ]:8) Taglines below ! -- Orator: a two minute idea, a two hour vocabulary.
Re: [H] external drive enclosures ?
Well I just was in the position of needed an external 3.5 case so I searched and agonized, finally choosing to get a IcyDock a AMS Venus DS3. I tested the no-fan Icy first and found it ran 40C under continous disk usage for hours so I put the unopened fan equiped DS3 up on eBay. Would recommend either brand, with emphasis on the Icy since it's got a removable tray that can be docked into a mutli-drive PC bay made by them. These were SATA to SATA+USB cases but they also make IDE models and ones that are Firewire+USB. About $50+SH from NewEgg and elsewhere.

Hello Wayne, Friday, July 6, 2007, 5:20:42 PM, you wrote: You have to decide how much you're worth per hour or month or year then how much your existing business /or client list is worth. Unfortunately you're the only one that can decide. They'll probably make you an offer then think about it. So, it's best to let them make the offer? Is it possible they would want to see my books to base their offer? God, I hope not. Ideally, I would like to get all our debts paid off and have some cash at the end. We've been paying into our mortgage (which is also where the business resides) so much so that out 30 year loan would be paid off in 7 years. We have 3 years left at that... IIRC. Then there are my student loans... Also another consideration is what if any benefits does the potential new place offer. How much would it cost you to buy those for yourself ? You then have to add that to their monetary offer. Yeah and benefits are one of the main reasons I am even considering this at all. I would like salary, benefits, and retirement. Sorry but the largest /or riskiest moves make for the hardest decision making processes. That ain't no shit. -- Regards, joeuser - Still looking for the 'any' key...

Hello JRS, Friday, July 6, 2007, 7:02:24 PM, you wrote: I've been thru 3-4 acquisitions or mergers, but it was my company doing the buying. :) Perhaps I can help anyhow?? I had to do the ole apply for your job all over again bit 4 different times in mergers in 15 years... OK, here's the story. I've been with this company as a customer for years. When they were just a little thing, I got on board with them. For many years, I encouraged them to bring services to my town. Finally, I got frustrated and started to look elsewhere. I got a deal that I was going to bring in and as soon as I did, they made the move here. I just dropped my plans and let them take the show. I supported them publicly and privately. I did some outside work for them here and there and it ALWAYS went well. Now, I see just from the size - they are taking my customers from me. So, I contact the big bosses I know and tell them - hey, I have been with you guys through thick and thin. Now, I am seeing my profits fall and my clients going to you. While this isn't deliberate - it's still happening. No sooner do I contact them about all this but I hear through the grape vine they are going to do a geek squad type thing. Two things, this would really screw me but this may be my opportunity to get with them. Now some background. The guy I am dealing with... he had made me a verbal promise that he would allow me to provide product and services when they came into town - it never happened. I never went to bat about it - I just held my tongue. Even further back, they were having some issues with services which I was the first to figure out and discover. I talked to them about it but they sand bagged on it and finally I told them if you don't take action, I will by informing everyone of this issue. They took care of it. Last but not least, I managed to successfully penetrate their network and I left little txt files on some bosses desktops for them to read, and how to fix the issues / holes they had left open. Now, this was almost a decade ago. That's the situation in a nutshell. Oh except the guy I am dealing with and some other big wigs, I used to smash them in Quake 2 on my dial up - while they connected to the Q2 server from the LAN. LOL. True story. I raped them. Mind you, I was never cocky about it but I was ruthless. Wife says not to sweat the Q2 thing but I know the guy I will be working with got pissed about it and quit playing. There have been times when they had issues and I helped them resolve them. I spent a day on the phone running tests for them on my end, never asked for a thing - this was only a few months ago. I was just glad to help. It's been a mixed and sorted past, but all the negative stuff was mainly a long time ago. I wouldn't mind working for them. I just don't want to screw myself and regret it. -- Regards, joeuser - Still looking for the 'any' key...
