Champion of the World

I tried my best to be just like
The other boys in school
I tried my best to get it right
And died at every duel
This mountainside is suicide
This dream will never work
Still the sign upon my headstone, write
“A champion of the world”
I tried my best to stay alight
Fly like a firework
I tried my best at taking flight
But my rocketship reversed
Oh, referee, don’t stop the fight
Everyone can see, I’m hurt
But I’ll stand before conquistadors
'Til I’m champion of the world
And when I sail
I’m sailing west
(Though I might fail) Knowing I might fail
But, still I am hoping for the best
And in my dreams
Onto my chest
She’ll pin the colours and say
“I wandered the whole wide world but
Baby, you’re the best”
So I’m flying on my bicycle
Heading upwards from the Earth
I am jumping with no parachute
Out into the universe
I have E.T. on my bicycle
Because giving up won’t work
I am riding on my rocketship
And I’m champion of the world

Its an American Dream.
Go pay for it ;;

A search led me to this:

I was looking through my VAR website and come across this:
https://www.cad-vision.com.my/when-should-you-not-go-for-cloud/

I thought it will be a quality read and at least some valid comparisions/discussions
But instead i was welcomed with their marketing BS…

PS: I know the page is poorly designed (whats wrong with people, do they really think a small font is a good choice?)

As in Solidworks?

Maybe? Thats why they ask us to move to CLOUD so that we can use their so call advance technology including SWYMP.

To be frank here, i do think cloud had its own place… But the way they are writing the blog make it sound like those who do not use cloud are sore loser, as well as a bunch of misinformation.

Good morning yall, back from the fishing trip, had some wonderful weather, caught a lot of fish and a lot of beer.

Pictures or it didn’t happen…of the fish, not the beer…

Stay inside all weekend, 33C plus humid.
Which lake can you fish beer? UU

I’ll try and post the few I have when I’m home. Walleyes and pikes mostly, some decent walleyes, mostly small pikes.

Perhaps why DS is pushing cloud and 3dExperience etc; Its all part of a marketing strategy to drum up business providing cloud services to other corps?

“Alstom has chosen Accenture (NYSE: ACN) and Dassault Systèmes (Euronext Paris: #13065, DSY.PA) to develop a new cloud platform for product lifecycle management (PLM) that is designed to increase the company’s competitiveness and support its growth.”

“The company says its goal is for 3DExperience revenues to be 75% of its software revenue by 2025… The company sees significant changes ahead, but until the actual shape of change becomes clearer, Dassault will try and have it both ways with their customers.”

Looks more like an under sea platform.

Awesome - what beer did you catch?

Just spent a few days in Sharon Springs NY - we left late Fri afternoon and got back last evening, awesome weather up there..

The traditionals mostly but there were a couple of local brewed too :stuck_out_tongue: :laughing:

Online Payroll - my nemesis

About 6 months ago they changed to Direct Deposit, to which I was totally against and almost walked off the job because of it, yeah I’m old school. Turn the clock front 6 months and what I was against bit. All of a sudden I was missing (2) two pay schedules, we’re like what is going on? Here what happened our HR department gets an email that was supposedly sent by me telling them to change all my banking information and routing numbers ect. So, just like that someone out there in outer space gets two weeks of my pay, really are we that inept? The guys office is just on the other side of the wall, geessshhh.

What happened is the specific reason of why I was dragging my feet in the onset, if someone breaches our account then they have all of our other banking information etc, yeah I was pisssssed big time.

I asked him, didn’t you look at the email, it’s easy to see that its not legit, read it and see how the sentence is structured o[ o[ o[ o[ o[ hhhh

They did wire transfer money into our account right away, but now the person has our info, dang, I wish I would have walked away 6 months ago, crap.

Now what???

John, that really sucks. I don’t know if the bank can offer a little more insight into what went wrong, and hopefully shed some light if it indeed was identity theft. That is one of the reasons I never use my bank card, other than at the bank or an ATM. I have it set that it be rejected at any point of sale if ever I lose it or it gets stolen.

That guy’s ‘office’ should be the curb outside the building. And his boss as well.

It doesn’t sound like anyone outside of your organization has your banking information. They just convinced your payroll guy to send your money somewhere else.

Either way, I’m sure the bank has solutions for this type of problem. A change to the account number is probably all that is required.

That is questionable, because my password was changed as well, so my suspicions on the dark matter is beyond human comprehension, therefore it’ll take a Martian to figure it out, but they didn’t answer this morning, thought I heard voices, but discovered a bot in the brain. :confused:
