Bit of fun with #softwaredev fun today!

Spend about an hour each day emailing new customers. These emails vary depending on the options they choose on signup. Today I decided to make a little bot that looks at our new signups, checks meta and writes and sends these emails with links to esign and invoices attached where needed. 3 hours invested for roughly 21 hours each month saved 🤯

On top of this I've got labels down from manual ordering to 1 click on our dash

Currently moving a couple backup tibx into a vhdx to boot a vm from a PE to then recover the tibx to another vhdx... fingers crossed it boots.

On the 5th of November I lost someone very close to me. Someone who had helped me a lot throughout life, someone who wiped away the tears as a child, taught me right from wrong and then at 16 provided me with a job, education on tech repair and business, helped me with confidence and gave me the courage to start my own little businesses. I'm glad I got the time with you but I'll never stop missing you. At 53 you left this world too early but you're not in pain now.

Fact. My taste of music is not typical.

One minute I'll be listening to Roy Orbison, then AC/DC and then a bit of Centeral Cee.

If they want you when they can't have you.. they won't when they can. I know fellas like this too.

Same reason people will pay a lot for diamonds but next to nothing for dirt.

What's a good CRM / ticketing system? Self hosted ideally - docker would be a big win!
