@GoProUK I would purchase a new GoPro if your support was any good, took three days to talk to somebody via chat to find out they cannot identify the warranty status via the serial number!! Dead GoPro and no support!!

[Jamie R Edgar @JamieEdgar85]

.@GoProUK GoPro support is as much use as a chocolate teapot! Dead GoPro and they cannot obtain the warrenty status from the serial number and they want me to upload a video to YouTube of the issue and send them a link. I think I will be binning this and going somewhere else!!

I’m #hiring. Know anyone who might be interested?

It's time to move on and gain new experiences. Therefore, we are looking for an enthusiastic technical individual to train over the coming years to become Technical Support Manager.

Haven’t created a post in a while - Currently very busy undergoing a design phase of a new OpenVMS multi-node multi-cluster system and provisioning the rack space required. #OpenVMS #VSI #DataSysyems #Critical #LifeCritical #BigData #Clustering @VMSSoftware

Introducing the kids to some real technology :). They very much enjoyed Missile Command running on my old Apple Macintosh SE - upgraded to a full 4 megabytes of RAM. #apple #macintosh #macintoshse #retrocomputing #retrogaming #vintagecomputing #missilecommand #gaming #oldschool

@Original_Meusli I noticed him running - he did a very good time!!

[Jamie R Edgar @JamieEdgar85]

@tricky_nic Plans / designs are already in place and this was scheduled for last year! But as you know, these things take a lot of time...

[Jamie R Edgar @JamieEdgar85]

Let me introduce to you, a Itanium based Integrity RX6600 7u rack mount server. Currently installing VSI OpenVMS 8.4 1H1 and adding to our VMS cluster :) running off a backend HPE 3PAR storage array. #HPE #Integrity #Itanium #RX6600 #OpenVMS #VMS #Cluster

[Jamie R Edgar @JamieEdgar85]

@tricky_nic We still have customers on HP OpenVMS 8.4, so we stick with 1H1 as this is only a rebranded version.

[Jamie R Edgar @JamieEdgar85]

@spgmutts Thanks :), I’m just glad I am still alive!! Hate working on live electrics!

[Jamie R Edgar @JamieEdgar85]

Let there be light - finally wired in my home lab / cabinet. Just need to configure my APC Switched PDU. #power #manlab #garage #rack #rackcabinet #dualpower #apc #switch #switchedpdu #pdu #systems #servers #cabinet

[Jamie R Edgar @JamieEdgar85]

@ianopenvmsorg @VMSSoftware Yes - done that already :). We are a VSI Partner and have access to all their latest products.

@datashed I’m a good friend of Camiel Vanderhoeven, who is currently a Kernel Engineer for VSI and he is working on the port of OpenVMS to x86 - he also has an inspirational collection: https://t.co/NlhbKjZ1co

[Jamie R Edgar @JamieEdgar85]

@datashed Lovely chap - has quite a collection. Take a van if you ever visit :) https://t.co/5jFVjYyw5I

[Jamie R Edgar @JamieEdgar85]

@datashed Sounds like a plan, are you familiar with Jim Austin?

[Jamie R Edgar @JamieEdgar85]

Great to see a DEC Digital section in the Cambridge Computing History museum, even had a play with a MicoVAX 3100 and Digital tape reel cabinet. #museums #computation #tape #cabinet #digital #DEC #openvms #vms #pdp8 #pdp #VAX #tapereel #data #history #computerhistory
