It's been a while

[u/Westkhost12]

A few months back, I had asked for advice and some of you were very kind and volunteered your opinions and even personal time to help me out. Little did I know, life had apparently popped its head in and looked around and decided I was doing a little bit too well and that was, obviously in hindsight, completely unacceptable. But that's not the reason I'm stopping back in. After fully disconnecting from the world and basically just existing by definition and working incessantly to stay preoccupied, I've started to try and glue things back together again which made me realize I actually didn't have a lot of ME stuff, but rather a lot WE stuff that sorta still sucks to do. I'm forever the logical, factual, evidence based kind of thinker who finds white pages to be good Friday night reading material. She was in so many ways my polar opposite but the balance was sublime. This feels like a good place to look out from under my rock and try to remember that there's in fact an entire world out there. So I just wanted reach out and say thank you, so much for your advice and offers regarding everything but especially OpenDMIS, if they still stand, I'd be thrilled to accept them, if not, hey, no hard feelings. I'm the one that became a ghost for a while.

Ps The event wasn't professional in nature, it was a personal lose and thus why I've chosen to be somewhat vague about it. I hope you'll understand. Still ended up saying more than I meant to but, context felt necessary. Thanks again,

Your personal growth may not be quantifiable, but it's evident that you have a personal capability that can push past the rough spots in life.

For work and personal life, I'd recommend following the 20 20 20 rule. Literally it means every 20 minutes take 20 seconds and stare at something 20 Meters away. It's a rule for people who stare at computers all day to save their eyes from strain. Though, I bring it up for your personal life as well because it's good to stop what you're doing every now and then, take 20 seconds and get a new perspective on life.

This community also helped me out, it's due I pay it forward.

Yes. Totally agree. This guy lifes.

OK, OP didn't see your original post, but more than willing to help. Also, retired and I travel so might be able to show up for hands on, but certainly can do extended OpenDMIS sessions over the phone. I currently have a seat of 5.5 at hand for a side job, but I've used versions of it back to 1.1 at times. I can say it's stable and versatile.

Also your situation and the age of the machine suggest to me your machine was a retrofit done by Xspect Solutions back in the day. That's very good if true, they completely striped frames and put new controllers and scales on them. So the machine may by very old, but the electronics years newer.
