I should be billing auss for drinking from this water bottle so we're uh off
0:04
to our sort of office update Vlog part
0:08
three and I was like who wants to help me film today and Ed was like oh I
0:11
volunteer I'd really love to and I kind of went okay let's go
0:16
right I'm on the motorbike today and even if I did have a helmet I
0:21
am quite certain edzel would not get on the back of a motorbike with me
0:26
so we're borrowing Brandon's car which he was of course thrilled out let's
0:40
go Kingston KC 310 series ssds feature
0:43
firmware based data loss protection massive capacities and enough speed that
0:48
we use them for our 24 SSD raid zero aray server click on this Leaf to learn
0:53
more actually don't look too closely at that leaf never mind it's fine I think
0:58
more than anything else I'm just glad we're out of the office right now cuz I've spent the entire morning working on
1:03
SMB 3.0 multi- Channel and getting it to
1:06
work and the problem is I can't even figure out how to do any research about
1:10
it because everything I find is like
1:14
well you just if you have two network interfaces you plug the two into a dummy
1:19
switch and bippity bity Boop you're good to go and it is not
1:23
working so maybe some encouragement will
1:26
help guys hit the like button if you think I should keep working at this or
1:30
if I should just forget it and use single Nick interfaces then hit dislike
1:34
or something cuz man I have burned so
1:37
many hours on Fresh installs of Windows 8 and Server 2012 R2 um configuring lacp
1:44
through the switch and through the interfaces uh configuring it through the
1:48
Intel driver versus configuring it through Windows in theory you shouldn't have to do it but it the aggregation
1:52
should work
1:55
anyway I'm glad we're out of the office right now okay so
2:01
since we're going to be taking the uh trailer to the new office I guess now's
2:04
as good a time as any to load up some of
2:08
the freaking junk that I have in my
2:13
garage that needs to go there um that
2:16
I've been accumulating over the last little bit
2:21
here you know if I was smarter I'd probably back the trailer into my
2:26
driveway instead of carrying these like
2:29
this little did Brandon know the greatest risk of damage to his car was when I was
2:34
actually outside of it not when I was driving it I'm not that close it's no
2:38
big deal actually paralyzed the fear
2:42
which is why you said and did nothing I was actually thinking oh I
2:46
should record this and I saw you kind of
2:50
on a bad trajectory and I'm like oh something going to
2:54
happen silencio s 652 or 52s or
3:01
whatever I like them cuz they're quiet
3:05
and they have card readers
3:08
and they don't have uh they don't have
3:12
holes in them from when we started some hairbrained whole room water cooling
3:24
scheme okay these are really heavy
3:44
okay these are our new chairs from Max
3:50
nomic personally I'm into the Dominator
3:54
myself but uh some people went for different designs
4:05
get to the case how many of these do we have six that must be right
4:12
okay um yeah I'll have to do some more
4:15
loads another time I guess I did not get as much in the trailer as I had really
4:19
thought we would okay so there you go we'll take a load
4:25
of stuff to the office and have a look at what kind of progress they've made and the meantime since we started this
4:32
load actually since the last time we did a tour actually there's one more thing
4:35
we can take with us now check this out Ed have I told you about this we're
4:39
actually going to do our own personalized dishes for the new office
4:43
so that way without resorting to checking the surveillance system I'll be
4:47
able to tell who it is that leaves dishes out and makes the place messy so
4:52
uh I'm pitching this as a Channel Super Fun where we all decorate our own dishes
4:58
and stamp our initials in our Cutlery but what it actually is is a way for me
5:02
to uh keep an eye on you lot so this is cool on uh crap I forget
5:09
what site it is whatever anyway you can get personalized um forks and knives and
5:14
spoons for like 20 bucks each or you can buy one of these for $20 and you can do
5:19
as many as you want with a hammer so we're going to do our own Cutlery
5:23
too so I just realized I'm probably not going to be home when Brandon comes to
5:27
pick up his car so
5:30
uh let's find somewhere to put his keys so that uh you know he can get them but
5:37
that someone else doesn't find
5:42
them yeah this could
5:54
work
5:58
safe this is good news news so if you look up over the car there Fraser Valley
6:03
Refrigeration is I think at our unit which means the HVAC system is
6:08
presumably being worked on which is pretty exciting so as much as I trolled
6:13
my entire team and the entire internet um we are getting air conditioning for
6:18
the office in fact we're getting two three ton units one on the Upper Floor
6:22
one on the lower floor with uh like baffles to make sure that the rooms that
6:27
don't have a bunch of computers in them don't get too cold and all that kind of
6:31
stuff so let's uh let's go inside and
6:34
see how things are shaking oh uh I believe this is all
6:41
stuff for the sets which is just kind of uh modular
6:48
pieces of walls that'll go behind us and then we'll we'll decorate and move
6:52
around the outside of the room there is one oh my God there's a couple things
6:57
leaned against the wall like apparent I wasn't clear enough with my cones and
7:05
my yellow rope to make my point about
7:09
not putting things on the other side of the cones and the yellow rope the good
7:13
news is that this is actually dried to the point where it's much more difficult
7:17
to damage now so I won't have to have a brain tumor today so one of the
7:23
electrical outlets that I noticed was missing is on the outside of the library
7:28
down there and and uh apparently our
7:31
project coordinator is on vacation this week I had no idea until I uh emailed
7:36
him today and then tried to call the office and was told that he was on
7:41
vacation this week so hopefully they're getting that and any of the other
7:44
electrical outlets that are not here sorted out but there is a bunch of other
7:48
stuff that has made significant progress so let's start upstairs so this won't be
7:52
immediately apparent like upon first glance but one of the big changes is
7:56
that the network cabling up in the rafters of the Warehouse has actually
8:01
been run so whether we're talking security cameras or access points or uh
8:07
drops to other areas of the warehouse like over there where we're going to
8:10
have like a little receiving thing um
8:13
all that network cabling has been run throughout the warehouse and is ready to
8:18
rock uh also upstairs woo look at that
8:22
wow A lot has actually changed here so drywall is coming in right now as we
8:28
speak those are the guys that are working right now the window structure
8:31
that I talked about before is actually much more readily uh visible now so you
8:37
can see how it's going to look you know
8:40
not completely enclosed on the Upper Floor now actually if you come over here
8:44
and just kind of look out you'll see how you'll be able to look out across the
8:48
warehouse I don't know how much of a view there's necessarily going to be
8:53
because uh Brandon is probably going to want to shut all those Windows up there
8:57
so there might actually not be a ton of natural light out there anyway but uh
9:01
the way that I see it it's still better than nothing so in here this is going to
9:05
be pretty dark so the good news is you get an office uh the bad news is you get
9:10
like the electrical panel that like buzzes and makes noise and stuff and
9:16
this like massive like shut off switch thing in your office so yeah whoever
9:22
sits here will have to decide how they feel about that that's going to be the bathroom right there
9:30
um this is going to be uh the kind of the the slightly
9:35
bigger office but not my office uh no idea who this one belongs to yet I'm
9:40
trying to convince my wife to come work for us so maybe I can entice her with
9:44
you get your own office uh this is going to be the meeting room SLC conference
9:48
room it's a little smaller than I had
9:53
envisioned oops just bend that
9:57
back it's a little smaller than and I had envisioned but we're going to try
10:00
and make some of it up by turning this
10:03
into kind of like like cushion sort of place to sit so if someone's talking uh
10:09
on the projector wall over there or whatever the case may be then extra
10:13
people can actually kind of sit along here whoever can't fit around the table
10:16
so so my office is coming together
10:19
nicely um got the view out here and then
10:24
like it barely even feels like I'm in an office at all right now to be perfectly
10:27
honest cuz there's going to be a window here here there's a window there so it's
10:31
not about privacy necessarily it's just more about having a quiet workpace where
10:36
I'm a little bit more difficult to interrupt than I am now where it's hard
10:40
to really get any writing done half the time this is where the pee Pole to the
10:44
bathroom will be installed now we wanted
10:47
to turn this space right here into a
10:52
closet in that office but something
10:55
something plan something something inspection unfortunately we weren't able
10:58
to make that happen the good news is we ended up with an unexpected little closet thing here that
11:03
I guess we'll turn into I I don't know storage for something like I don't know
11:08
mops or cleaning supplies in theory we're going to clean this place hey oh
11:12
hello how's it going great this is going to be a little
11:16
reception area so in theory we'll put like a desk like kind of here and
11:21
someone will sit here and then there's going to be like a Linus Media Group
11:24
thing over here dbrand was going to send us like vinyl wrapped letters but they
11:28
couldn't get the the technical details sorted out unfortunately that's okay no
11:32
big deal we'll find we'll find something else to put there so this is another
11:36
case of a room that I really thought was going to be a lot bigger than it ended
11:41
up being um but we're just going to have to work around it so this is the library
11:47
and it actually only goes from this Mark here for the wall into that corner so
11:53
we're basically going to have room for like a couch and like a chair
11:59
there and so yeah we'll we'll just I
12:03
mean we'll do our we'll do our best with it uh this is the this is the plumbing
12:07
for apparently the kitchen I wasn't sure what they were digging this out for last time but yeah of course we have a little
12:11
kitchen unit right there where people will you know make food presumably uh
12:16
this is a closet and then this right here is the super weird bathroom that's
12:23
actually a lot of progress has been made here they've taken out the supports that
12:26
were in the way of the door so this bathroom is going to be hilarious like
12:30
when you're on the so this is going to be the toilet so when you're on the can
12:34
you're going to be like sitting under the stairs uh cuz there was a bit of a
12:40
floor plan um issue uh so it looks like
12:44
I was indeed correct the ducting is going in right now as we speak um the
12:52
drop ceiling is installed that's all new since last time I was here so the server
12:57
room is currently uh quite occupied by things
13:01
um that's uh that's that's good I guess
13:05
so I can't really get in there to show you guys the power outlets that we're
13:08
that we missing last time I was here but apparently they are working on now so that's good uh we should have enough
13:13
power in the server room um so there you go I guess that's pretty much the update
13:18
for now I don't want to jinx anything but we're hoping to be moved in in the
13:21
next like few weeks here which I mean it
13:24
might take us a while to get our sets fully built out and really get properly
13:28
moved in and get the workflow smoothed out um but oh right the
13:34
ducting um oh I really hope that there is this is a ladder right yeah it seems
13:39
to be I really hope that the plan is to
13:43
cuz this is wow I don't know cuz this is above
13:47
the drywall here so they're supposed to
13:51
be exhaust in this room like uh exhaust
13:56
to the uh to the central um HVAC for the
14:00
servers and then there's supposed to be an intake on the door we interrupt this
14:04
program to bring you the rocket tie on it is a gaming mouse with an 8200 DPI
14:09
laser sensor and 14 programmable buttons which you will find here here here here
14:13
here here here here here here here here here here and here it has a right-handed
14:18
ergonomic shape it features their rgba RGB lighting configuration so you
14:23
can light up these bad boys right here as well as the mouse Rim so that goes
14:28
around the outside of the tition it also with their easy shift functionality
14:32
allows you to have up to two functions per button a pretty handy dandy little
14:36
feature right there and this is actually pretty cool this is the accelerator this
14:41
is a linear one AIS see that brings back
14:44
to Center little like paddle that your right M see I'm holding it with the
14:47
wrong hand it's a one-handed Mouse well not to say that there are two-handed mice it's just to say that it goes in
14:51
your right hand uh which you can use for things like throttle or really I mean
14:57
anything else that would require you know not
15:01
just up or down more like uh well you
15:05
guys know what these are for you're Gamers and I guess that's pretty much
15:08
all I have to say about that so if you want to learn more go ahead and click on this thing otherwise back to you lonus
15:15
so I don't want to jinx it but we're hoping to be moved in in the next few
15:19
