In a few hours we’re finally going to check out @NintendoAUNZ Switch Online (including the expansion pack). After we get it all setup (live) we’ll play some Mario Kart 64 multiplayer ^_^

Watch/chat with us when we go live on @FacebookGaming ^_^

Twitter Twitter on the wall...
I feel like I’ve made this joke before :-/

Have any of my fellow networking nerds out there built a Lack Rack for their equipment? I’ve been wanting to do one for years so I think it’s finally time to do it! ;)

@Telstra I have seen it and just replied. Sorry about the delay!

[Scrapyard Techie @ScrapyardTechie]

I just learnt that @Telstra technical support bypasses private numbers :O

Called them for a customer (so not linked to me or my phone number) dropped out and they called me straight back even though my number is private and I never gave it to them... 0_o

I've been working on the website for our business and tech brand: @TheDotMill - https://t.co/AcQHAfPrQj

Using @Wordpress and the Divi theme from @ElegantThemes - it's a lot easier than both hand-coding and other themes I've used before!

A lot of the time we probably don’t NEED technology. Pen + paper, snail mail and walking are all still valid options.

I just don’t like any of them because they’re terribly inefficient 😉

I find that learning by “trial and error” REALLY makes you remember the lesson. It might suck at the time you make the error but there’s a very high chance you won’t make the same mistake again!

$@(&!?& @MicrosoftTeams! Go away!!!

I usually go with “If you don’t have anything nice to say then don’t say anything” but I don’t know anyone who uses it, have disabled it for a heap of customers BUT if you uninstall it: IT COMES STRAIGHT BACK! ON STARTUP!!!

GAH!!!!

[Scrapyard Techie @ScrapyardTechie]

Done.

Am I doing it right, @davidrocknyc?? 😜

People should tweet more

On my way to a family event via a @Qantas flight: I noticed the hostesses (or maybe just the head one?) are now referred to as “customer service managers”.

Sounds very professional and seems accurate when you think about it :)

Apparently I’ve been social-media-ing too much, particularly on @Facebook

I just got signed out of all my devices for ‘suspicious activity’ but all the activity listed when I logged back in and was forced to change my password: 100% mine... 😕

@ZohoMail Will do! Thanks again ^_^

[Scrapyard Techie @ScrapyardTechie]

Checking out @ZohoMail for our new business email addresses because $FREE is hard to beat!

So there's now a basic setup for the new @3PGarage in place now using @Shopify, @Mailchimp, @GoogleAnalytics and @Facebook Pixel. Still a bit left to do! But it's enough to get started ^_^ We'll keep building, refine and correct as we go.

[Scrapyard Techie @ScrapyardTechie]

@ZohoMail Going well so far! Finding my way around very easily :) Still got lots to explore ^_^ Thank you for checking in and then awesome service!

[Scrapyard Techie @ScrapyardTechie]

Continuing with using @ZohoMail: If you’re trying to setup @Mailchimp and can’t find your activation email then check the “Newsletters” folder!

The problem not having enough hours in the day to do everything does not appear to be rectified as yet. Whoever is in charge of this: Please provide a fix for this ASAP.

Further investigations have revealed that the mini computer is a HYSTOU FMP03. Likely to be an Intel Core i3 or i5. It has 8Gb of DDR3 RAM and a 128Gb mSATA SSD. Still yet to find a suitable power adapter for it… https://t.co/wMWHMKlIH2

@ZohoMail Turns out there's no POP or IMAP access with the free version of @ZohoMail. I probably missed that in the fine print... Not really a problem for us at this stage but just in case anyone else is considering it :)
