I'll look into this for you. Thansk for bringing it up.
I have no idea where those email addresses are forwarding to.

If the payment came to PayPal, that account used to email some people,
including me. If I knew about things like this I'd usually fix them
up right away. But I don't get the e-mails any more and it's harder
for me to find out what is going on, and work has been a hellish mess,
so I haven't dug into things further. The people that get e-mails
when there's a status change in PayPal is an option on the account, I
think. At the very least, treasurer@grex.org should be in the list.

Work continues to be a real mess. Now we have a lot of programmers
who don't check their program logs and then we have errors and warnings
all over the place. It's taking time to fix, and of course the timelines
got over a month shorter last week, so it's like the client is trying to
work us to death. But, the log issues are ours to fix, unfortunately.
Not sure what to say other than they push people too hard to get things
done in a short time and then people start skipping steps. I've been
preaching about log checks now for 4 weeks and it's still happening.
I guess people like playing with the manager to see if he notices (he
does). Next will be 1:1s to see what is going on and if it keeps
happening it will become a performance issue. I hope it doesn't go that
far. I have one programmer who doesn't like unix and can't deal with it
although the rest are fine with what they need to do on the server. He
refused to let me show him how to make it easier (shell features,
aliases, and simple editor).

"doesn't like unix" ... "refused ... to make it easier". My guess is that
person is either just frustrated or hates to accept something they griped
about is just different not bad. A gentle nudge may be in order.

Yeah. We were told by the client to do everything on the unix server
and this basically forces him to work there. I'll see where he's at
tomorrow, mentally, and if he wants I can get him set up so he can work
reasonably well from the command line. It is a requirement of his job,
so he'll need to adapt and find a way to do his work.

Can you tie log checks into log feeds to some sort of alert automation?

It's difficult with the system we use to do anything after then run in
an automated way. We can't change the system, for one thing. However,
we can check all the logs in a directory with one of my scripts quite
easily.
Again, we are dealing unix and the majority don't want to deal with it,
and that includes running scripts.

nobody's been back in forty-seven years.

ISB I was a big fan of Space: 1999 way back in the day, but I watched a couple
of episodes from Series 2 on UK Armed Forces TV during a recent business trip,
and have to admit they were crap. I remember Series 1 being much better,
though I'm not confident my memory will stand up to rewatching.
Same for UFO, which my memory placed even higher than Space: 1999. Good model
work, but the plot was too wonky of me to enjoy anymore. Surprisingly dark
for a 1970s TV show.

Netflix has Stargate Universe available. I'm moving through those now. I think
it's a great story. I really like the characters. I hear there's effort to
bring it back but I'm not sure about that. Some story lines are best told in
just a few seasons before the writers run out of original ideas and the
audience get bored.

If I told you it was possible to run a Commodore Vic 20 with 1MB of RAM
and 8MB of flash rom would you think I was nuttier than Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez?

What about a wifi modem that worked on the VIC and the 64?

So now, we are losing work and by April 2020 I'll be out of work and
probably be laid off. No fun. But if there is a severence that is
decent then it might be okay. And I can apply for another job. Or I
can try to stay where I'm at but I still would need to apply for job
on some other project. I hope I can hang in here for another couple
years. But we'll see.
