I don’t know if y’all heard, but it’s been an eventful few weeks! Ya boy goes on vacation and a hurricane rolls through, there’s a statewide internet outage, and the CrowdStrike ordeal happens. I hope everyone made it through ok. Thankfully for Seguin the brunt of the hurricane missed us, we had redundancy in place for the ISP outage, and the CrowdStrike event was a minor annoyance at best. Upon returning to the office, I did have fun reminding folks what happens when I’m not around. Clearly my presence is needed! I’m not certain anyone actually bought that, but it was funny nonetheless.
