Piero Bosio Social Web Site Personale

I've always thought that the larger the company, the less important the individual client.

Last evening, a client asked me to supervise a remote connection with one of their software providers - a large company - at 9:30. It was urgent, so I completely rearranged my schedule for today (canceling two business trips) and made myself available.

The company confirmed the appointment.
This morning, no one showed up. My client tried to open a support ticket and send reminders, but got nothing. No feedback. No response. Nothing. My client is partially at a standstill, and I'm stuck (I've done other things, but the trips still need to be made). The provider is unreachable.

Then again, they provide software that no one else does - and due to strict regulations, there are no other solutions. They know it, and they do whatever they want.

@pkotrcka the link requires to be logged in in Facebook, but I'll privately send you a screenshot (I don't know if you want to disclose it)

Hey, @pkotrcka - The mayor of Ferrara reposted your greeting video from Prague on his Facebook story 😃

@pkotrcka la zia?

@angel thank you!

Though this photo is already ten years old, it still carries the very same emotions I felt the moment I captured it.

I might be done with the slides. Maybe. Two need to be corrected. One might need to be added. Another...

@def thank you! I'm reposting some of my BSD based blog posts, waiting for the EuroBSDCon - I can't wait!

@ajlewis2 it doesn't seem that bad. Let's hope it will be easy to solve!

@ajlewis2 good luck! We had to dig, drain the tank, change some pipes and fix some other things. It's not been that easy, but we might be in the final part of the mess 🙂
Let me know how it will go there!

@ajlewis2 yes, we have, partially. One pipe is broken but the others are ok and the situation isn't that bad.
The good news is: I expected serious problems at the septic tank level. The bad news: if the septic tank isn't that bad, there must be something else. And we'll have to remove some plants I love.

There's a hooole in my bowl!

Hole dug. Tank found. Tomorrow we go on, starting early in the morning. Sunday we keep going. Monday, hopefully, we’ll be done.
What will happen next?

It's time for an #introduction.

I'm glad to meet you! I'm the barista and main administrator of the bsd.cafe and illumos.cafe instances (and other projects), a computer science enthusiast who's been fascinated by technology since childhood. I'm a big supporter of open-source solutions and enjoy working with #BSDs as well as #illumos based OSes and #Linux systems. I enjoy #music and #photography. I've been an avid traveler and am now looking forward to getting back to traveling.I'm married to a wonderful wife and strive to live each day with a positive attitude,making the most of every day to improve our lives.

I like writing blog articles, especially tech ones (https://it-notes.dragas.net) and, from time to time, some of them are widely appreciated, especially in the open-source community.

Thank you for passing by and reading my introduction, enjoy your stay here in the #fediverse
