Due to a planned grid blackout on Jan 17, the TAC-7 servers will be shutdown as well for routine maintenance. As soon as grid power is restored and maintenance is completed, I will get things up again.

The main camera is finally back from repairs. After putting things back together, I'll be ready for the next box.

To Everyone. I have about 20 extra pieces of photo frame glass. If any station has a framed photo with missing or broken glass, text me for the glass. If a whole new photo with frame is needed, text me a cell photo so it can be reprinted. I will lookup the photo from the label.

The Tac-7.com webserver is scheduled for major but routine maintenance on or about Sept 7. It will be removed from its rack for hardware upgrades. The network backbone will undergo similar maintenance. Downtime should only be a few hours; hopefully.

I hope everyone is ready for this hurricane. Here, the TAC-7 servers are being secured, but backup batteries can only last so long. However, I will remain available for fires, If I can get there.

I was reminded recently to make sure everyone knows that anyone can still call me to take photos of events and retirements. I do NOT monitor Facebook for events, but a simple text will do just fine.

Call now to connect with business.

Been a short while since I've posted anything, so I'm going to cover 2 things at once. Ever since I returned from vacation in September, work has much busier than before I left. I'm still around, but responding to boxes is secondary.

Second topic, the recent storms have knocked out the power here several times. I've already lost 1 modem, 1 power relay, and 1 battery unit. As soon as the storms clears; I plan to have all servers back online by Xmas morning.

Question for everyone. I'm finally considering shooting videos. Nothing crazy, just short 1-3 min videos. Long-form videos might be the next step. Photos will remain. In curious what everyone thinks. I will begin with cell phone videos, but will progress to a dedicated video camera if I can figure a way to secure it while I continue with my usual still photos.
