  2. Welcome, Azshaya. I'm a cloud administrator myself. I enjoy scripting, but my skills aren't enough to call myself a software engineer by any means.

     

    I've been in IT for over twenty years, and I've looked at cybersecurity as a career path off an d on. But I always get depressed at how vulnerable our networks are that I just want to turn off my computer and hide under the bedcovers. So my props to anyone who can maintain that vigilance. (Same reason I could never be a police officer.)

  3. Yes, we were definitely impacted here in Texas. As you said, Lady, we're not prepared for temperatures this cold for this long. Perhaps you've seen in the news all the finger-pointing that's been going on, as one group or another tries to fix the blame on someone else.

     

    I had rolling blackouts for four days. We'd get power for fifteen minutes or so, then no power for twenty to thirty minutes at a time. I work from home, so I got work done in short spurts. Our kitchen pipes froze, and we didn't have hot water, but we had cold running water in our bathrooms. We have a gas stove, so my wife would heat up large pots of water for bathing and cooking. 

     

    After the rolling blackouts were ended, it took another day or so for the hot water pipes to thaw, so that by the weekend we were back to normal, no worse for the wear. Temperatures this week are back in the sixties and seventies (Fahrenheit). But many Texans are still without power, and a lot are dealing with the aftermaths of burst pipes and water damage, etc. 

     

    It could have been a lot worse, and now I'll be thinking of ways to deal with something like this the next time it happens, since I suspect we'll be experiencing periods like this more often.
