Oh look, Chicken Thursday!
It has been a fairly productive week here at Cybersalt World Headquarters. It's nice to catch up on a bunch of things so that I am only behind on other things: progress is progress!
Today's video share shows the incredible legacy one teacher created around this month's solar eclipse.

Sunday greetings, everyone!
Grandma Cybersalt and I are going to be held hostage today. We will be surrendering ourselves to our captors around 2:00pm. We will do this willingly because we are already held captive by the love we have for our granddaughter who is performing in the show.
The program, which collects children from local schools and puts the show on for the community is called PACE, which stands for Performance and something, something, Excellence - or something like that. The actual name does not matter because whether I know or not I it, I will be watching their show for 3 hours!
Why 3 hours? I think it is because amidst the heavy focus on putting together a performance opportunity for the participants, somehow the idea of how to plan a show (where the audience is not ready to give away the secret location of the troops if they are allowed to leave and not come back until the summer show) has been lost in the mix.
I would say more, but I am afraid the leaders of PACE might find this online and pay me a visit to adjust my attitude. If that does happen, I want to be clear, right here and now, that everything I have written above I have done so out of duress because my captors are forcing me to. Who might that be? Well, perhaps I have already said too much!

Today's edition is going out later than usual. Shahbaz, one of my team, is working on a big project for a client. He lives in Thailand and connecting across our time zones sometimes makes for meetings that interrupt my "regular scheduled programming."
Today's video share shows an historical solution to the housing shortage. It's a problem that has many people stumped today.

Sunday greetings, everyone!
Later later today, Grandma Cybersalt and I are going to supper . . . . somewhere. Our church is putting on a "Guess who's coming to dinner" event. We signed up to be guests and both of us have been told where to go (which usually only happens to me!) I am looking forward to spending some social time with some people I probably don't know very well yet. While some people would find that social aspect the biggest risk, for me it is the fact that I am a picky eater and hope I enjoy what is served. That's where the risk is for me!
Today's video share is of a ship that would test your faith to walk UNDER water!

Oh look, Chicken Thursday!
Today is a fun day at Cybersalt World Headquarters as Grandma Cybersalt and I attend (virtually) JDAYUSA. Last year we attended in person in Austin, Texas, but this year we are home watching what is going on in Nashville, TN. Susan is taking an all day course in building websites with Joomla 5, and I will be taking in the general sessions. Tomorrow I will be moderating another "Smarter Than Tim" session, interviewing two people who know their stuff better than me (There are a lot of people in the world qualified to be in the session, lol.
Today's video share shows a talented musician who improvises a song on the spot. I'm not making it up - but she is!

Sunday greetings, everyone!
I just realized that every Sunday mailing this year has gone out with 2023 in the title. I am very disappointed in you, Raul el Perro!
There was no mailing last Chicken Thursday as I was pretty preoccupied catching up on work after moving a client's web sites (totaling about 600 gigabytes in size) from their old server to my company. On top of that last week marked the completion of updating another company server that the Cybersalt Site is hosted on. Boy, was (and is) my brain tired from all that technical work! Later today I will definitely be enjoying some downtime when I go out for Pokemon Community Day with my daughter and son-in-law!
Today's video share is a collection of POV Videos of NASCAR Crashes. Come to think of it, they kind of remind me of what it its like in my brain lately while I try to keep up at work!

Resurrection Sunday greetings, everyone - the Lord is risen!
Susan and I pray the God will bless you and yours on this day when we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus. He died to pay the price of our sins so that all who trust in that sacrifice alone can be alive to God just as He is today!
Today's video share is a repeat, but an appropriate one for today: The Plate.

Oh look, Chicken Thursday!
I had a major win at work this week! There was something I needed to learn to do in order to get one web server to transfer 500 gigabytes of files to another web server, with both web servers being who knows where in the world, lol. The actual "how" to do it was really bending my brain and then I realized that one of my team might be better suited for that. So I left it with one of my employees (who is 30 years younger than me) and he figure it out and showed me how to do it.
The major win for me is not that the problem was figured out and the data is being transferred. It is that I am learning to get out of the way and let others do things they are better at than me in my business. I can't spend/hire my way out of all my problems, but it sure is nice that I can with some of them!
Today's video share shows a cool effect when a bird's wings flapping in synced with a security camera's frame rate.
