@azonenberg I buy 6 figures from #DigiKey annually. Not a fan of the QFN but we use them. Recently made a commitment to Renesas parts that are QFN. We design and load our own boards. Not doing BGA.
That said I really miss the yellow TI logic datasheet books from the 70s. Those were like the Sears catalog for me back in the day. Must be a collectors thing now. Would love to have those on my bookshelf. Daydreaming...
Need to do a lot more of that these days, eh?

So power is back at our office in #pittsburgh after 4 days. We scrambled and moved servers to backup sites. Now we are thinking to leave servers (email and web) here since I have 50KW of solar and #powerwall with 42kWh of battery capacity. Not going to lose power.
Trying to explain PTR records for Reverse DNS to the ISP is another thing. I guess they don't get those requests all that often. At least I have fixed IP addresses. And, #Armstrong has been so accommodating. Not like some that filter Port 25 supposedly for your safety.

So last night we finally got all of the issues cleared up in moving our critical web and mail servers out of the office. There were numerous DNS and ISP related hurdles in getting these servers relocated.
The office had been without power since Tuesday 4/29 due to severe weather that evening here in #pittsburgh .
And as I would expect (its my luck), after the last couple of tests, with servers now located at powered sites, we were about to declare victory when we noticed that power had just been restored back at the office the hour before. We could have just left the stuff sit there.
We were without power for 4 days during which we scrambled to keep business alive and we could have just gone off and drank. Maybe that is today's plan.
Once email came back up we received a pile of Duquesne Light notices with status as to when it would be restored. There's a long list of positives in running your own servers. This situation is in the other column. But we lease space and cannot invest in the infrastructure to provide the whole building with backup power.
Thanks do go out to #DuquesneLight for their effort. We know that the restoration continues and truly appreciate the dedication they have demonstrated.

#tgif It is Friday in #pittsbugh and I get to drag my generator to work to power the servers and my office. We are still trying to recover from a line of storms that hit us late on Tuesday. I am told that my company will not have power until next Wednesday. I am not sure that makes sense.
Come on #Duquesne Light this is costing me money by the minute. On par with the stupid #tariffs. Why have we been pushed to the bottom of the priority list. Is that what you think of the little residential track behind us?

So I have written compilers and assemblers and linkers and flash programmers myself in the past. When I could no longer use the CC_RX V1 compiler and my attempt at using V2 and then V3 fell short, I came real close to embarking down that path.
As it is I am getting a real feeling that I'll be writing a QuickBooks replacement in a month here. There is no way I am going to let Intuit blackmail us into paying them monthly. It's not like their coding is any better.
