About the podcast

In this episode, JP shares his experience with the “mandated” COVID test to come back to the States from Germany; apparently, it is on the “honor system” because nobody actually wanted to see the results. It seems that almost all of these “mandates” are fictitious. Supposedly, quarantines are mandatory (same with negative COVID tests when flying into the States). But if they are not enforced, or even check, they are really voluntary.

From there, we discuss the need for good “computer hygiene” after one of JP’s clients caught a “ransomware virus” – this was really no bueno. To compound the challenge, the last valid backup the client had was from 15 months prior. It is a shit sandwich and he had to take a giganourmous bite out of it.

From there, the conversations drifts to a favorite topic at The Outliers Inn, that being beer. And we are graced with a visitor from Sweden who brings a much-needed, and particularly positive, energy with her.

Hosts:Joseph Paris, Founder of the OpEx Society & The XONITEK Group of Companies

    About the Podcast Topic:  We do another theme-based episode, this time on “New Year’s Resolutions”.  It doesn’t matter whether they are funny or serious ones, but it does matter that your word and resolve is so useless that you can’t keep a promise to yourself.  In that case, you might not even have any resolutions.  But if you do, you will probably find that no…

  • Episode 34 – Andy Dobson

    About the Podcast Topic: In this episode, your hosts, AntlerBoy an JP, start by lamenting the software industry and their almost arrogant – sometimes not almost arrogant – disregard for the customer and the user experience.  Not that software companies will ever change, but rather a resignation that we have to endure.  But the episode gets productive, or rather reproductive, with the introduction of Andy Dobson…
