Re: [AFMUG] Insurance

[Simon Westlake via AF]

We've tried to just standardize everything so we don't have to negotiate as
much, as it's just one less obstacle to deal with.

Re: [AFMUG] billing

[Simon Westlake]

There's very little left to finish in v2 and we've got 50+ people on it
now, with more coming on board every day. The big blockers right now are
Avalara and VoIP billing, pretty much everything else is relatively minor.

Subject: [AFMUG] uptime monitoring

I am at the mercy of another service provider at a couple of sites.  
Lately they have been having big problems on their fiber system.


What is the best cheap and dirty program to just continually ping 
something and make a graph?  I attempted to do a trial of whatsup gold 
but it had a freaking huge SQL install that came along with it and I 
know they are going to want some money.


I could write something simple to log up and down times but I am sure 
someone has already done it.  Really simple, ping something like Google 
DNS every 30 seconds.  If it is down, record the time.  When it comes 
back record the time.--

I went to early voting today, good turnout, except nobody in line under 
60.




Maybe because it was the middle of the day, maybe younger folks wait 
until election day, or maybe the stereotype of millennials not voting 
is true.




Hey all you 20 and 30 year olds, go vote, even if I wouldn’t agree with 
who you vote for.  Going forward, it’s your world, you need to start 
running it (or at least choosing who does).  I think we’re supposed to 
be at the turning point where there’s more millennials than boomers, 
although the definition of “millennial” seems open to interpretation.
