Hello Again from Centennial, CO
Friday afternoon – March 5, 2021 (First post of this travelogue)
Well, I am back at NTT for three days this week. I am producing a live on line (LOL) three day class on electrical code changes. These “code” classes are pretty boring. Once I get all the software and hardware working, my job is pretty easy. While I have to keep an eye on the class activity and help the instructor when needed, I have a lot of time on my hands to work on other things.
Most of our classes are conducted using two software platforms: Canvas and Zoom. Some companies refuse to use Zoom for security reasons and the alternatives are difficult to deal with. Fortunately this class used Zoom.
During this class I spent quite a bit of time working on our website conversion process. We are currently on what is called the GoDaddy “legacy” system/servers. They are phasing that out for what is called cPanel servers/platform. The migration from one the old system/servers to the new system/servers is hugely complex. I purchased some software to make the process “easier”. Unfortunately, I am really struggling with the whole process. Fortunately I can devote the time to the project and still get paid {big grin}. I am getting closer and once I get the main website (beltguy.com) migrated, the others should be easier (famous last words). Thankfully the software technicians are working with me and seem quite helpful and responsive.
As has been the case in the past, NTT puts me up at the Staybridge Suites which is close to the office. It is a IHG member hotel, so I get my Holiday Inn points. It is an OK hotel that, pre-COVID, had great breakfasts and good “snacks” in the evening. Probably the best amenity is the great coffee!
That is all for this trip.
