Lonnie Knows Everything

I haven’t posted in a long time and for that I apologize but I’ve been a busy nerd, what with music and a day job.

The passing of Steve Jobs however is a momentous occasion because he is a legend, whether you’re a fan of Apple not.

I am the owner of two computers running snow leopard, I own two ios devices ( an original iphone and a 4th generation ipod ) but I am at heart a unix hacker .. I have disagreed completely with many of the policies apple has taken when it comes to development, and in general.. how they do business..

It is Jobs’ perfectionist way that has lead Apple to their success, his desire for perfection and uniformity and his uncompromising attitude.. has it been bad? I think in some ways it has.. but it has lead to what we have now, it has forced his employees to deliver a top notch user experience, the hardware to be sexy and sleek, and the competitors to clammer.. in otherwords, it has pushed competitiveness.. which is precisely what drove us where we are now.. whether you love or hate apple, they set bars that others were forced to try to reach .. and today we lost a driving force behind that, so lets hope we have another Jobs in our generation..

Event Horizon 2.0

iTunes: click here

The new album features 25 tracks, including 12 songs off of the original album and 13 brand new songs to expand on the experience.

Event Horizon takes place in a dark dystopian future where freedom is a thing of the past. A dark force is hunting down the last remnants of individuality to destroy any resistance in its path.

This album is designed to provide an atmosphere so not all of the tracks are musical in nature, some of them are there to expand on the story as it unfolds in your imagination.

You know, when I found out Greg died I was very seriously bummed because while I may not have known him as a stand up, he really did light up the roasts. His talent at the celebrity roasts really stood out and shown through, but I never knew him as a person and never really got to see much beyond a few specials.

So who is this guy? He’s a man who was born in December back in 1965, so if he didn’t have enough to complain about .. being buck naked mid december is certainly one of them.. but I digress..

Greg was born and raised in the queens, he certainly had a lot of things to tap into for his talent and ther’es no doubt that a successful self defence is picking on others.. Greg is amazing in that regard..

The thing I admire most about Greg and really the thing I’ll mis most about his loss is his quick wit and willingness to say things regardless.. he may not have been a widely known comedian, but he had balls of steel and he was all too happy to show it off .. Greg, you will be missed.. I know how late I am but really I am a guy with no voice any way so it doesn’t matter..  all too fitting that a man who is unknown salutes you ;)

Our client has been with Dydacomp for nearly four years now and have paid thousands of dollars for a support contract annually… But the support practically non-existant.

1. When contacting support by phone, you can spend 30-60 minutes on the line and get someone who knows very little about the issue.
2. If you e-mail about a problem, you face not getting a response at all, often when we contacted support via e-mail it would take 3-4 follow ups and a “Is anyone alive?” type message to even get a response at all, and then after that, more ignoring.
3. If you have any opened issues they are working on and your support contract expires? they will slam the door shut until you renew.. ( our client has had one issue open since 2008, and another critical issue opened for weeks.. support contract ended and they stopped talking ).

So when I followed up asking about a pending issue despite our contract having ended .. I was told

“[name witheld] has been directed to not continue with this research until support renewal is in place.”

Our client’s perspective is “Why should we pay you another several grand to help us when you’ve not solved our issues? what are we paying for?”

Dydacomp’s Perspective “I can’t respond till you give us more money… and once you do, we’ll most likely ignore you again until renewal time comes up” ..

If you’ve had similar issues, lets hear it … and what, if anything… can we do about this?
