Dale discovered that we don't get any better price demanning computer
power supplies than delivering them whole. The recycler we use
categorizes power supplies with motors. The combined lot are shipped
to China for deman.
Cool, saves work!
Next week, Forest and I will drop off two skids with gaylords full of
plastic at another recycling company. We won't get any money for the
plastic, and we lose the skids and gaylords. But, we clear our
warehouse of the material at no other cost.
Forest obtained two skids and two gaylords to replace the ones we lose
next week. The skids are from a lumber/home improvement chain store
which was very willing to donate the skids. I'm not sure where he got
the gaylords. However, Forest identified a local company which sells
new and used gaylords and skids.
That's good we finally have a source to send the plastic to, even
though it's not our first choice.

My bad... the address on the invoice is P.O. Box 84!
Oops.....
What is their web address?
:: Salvation Army Web App
Months ago, Goose and I had talked to Liz F. at the Sally about coding
a web application to help with their Adopt-A-Family program. She said
go for it.
I coded a demonstration app using Apache, Tcl and Sqlite. The
production version might use Postgresql which Richard will handle
along with security measures. I developed the demo app on the FGM web
server. The hard drive is dead and won't be coming back so I informed
Liz I will need to recode.
As it turns out, the Sally HQ in Grand Rapids uses MS Server 2003 and
isn't interested, at this point, in GNU Linux or free software. The HQ
won't let the app reside anywhere but their server. To continue,
Richard and I will need an MS Server 2003 dev machine, and the Sally
HQ might not let us install the FOSS apps we need on their server.
We'll find out next spring -- Liz put the project on hold until then.
I had started a reply but connectivity issues with Comcast promptly
ate my vnc session just as I was about to send it. (I was connected
remotely to the house)
Yes trying to do everything on a Windows 2003 server will be
challenging... Again, how secure can they keep the server 2003 box?
Who will provide the Windows 2003 dev box? Software? Looks might we
might want just to keep it on the Sally server in the lab.
