Sent out statement reminders for billing. Wife said that not many payments were coming in as usual. Could be that when I sent them out on the 1st that there were DNS issues. After changing the DNS to FreeBSD servers, I pointed the Windows servers to those new DNS servers … I think this was amistake due to the fact I am running AD here on the Windows machines … Eventually I lost local networking, and I assume this had to do with not pointing the Windows machines to the Windows DNS. So, I have to keep DNS running on the Windows network for the Active Directory … I wanted to avoid this, so I will rebuild the Windows portion of the network into not requiring DNS and doing the networking via a workgroup or something … Utilizing a domain isn’t as necessary as I would have thought when I started all this up … It’s ultimately cool that I have had the ability to experiement and learn with these machines and I have people benefitting daily from my endeavors …

25 Ads
It’s Tuesday morning, and I have 25 ads in my stack to do. That’s less than half of normally what I do each issue. Mike said last night at 10pm he has 4 “with him” and 2 to get … So that’s a substantial loss in advertisers … Regardless, it still doesn’t make sense to do anything on Mondays as there would be phone calls making last minute changes, and we’re sure not to disappoint, right? So being that Monday night is my only night off from the Sound Job, I take it easy with the paper … Ads aren’t ready anyway, so why bust my balls? Bitter? Maybe, but underpaid and overworked doesn’t help when thrown into this equation … If I get the job I mentioned, I might not have time to do the paper anymore … The horror!
