There’s nothing better than seeing our software in action! Last week our team visited Beacon Minerals Ltd and Barto Gold Mining. A big thank you to the team on site for the warm welcome and insightful discussions! #maxgeo #MiningTech #datashed #OnSite #miningtechnology

DataShed 5 and the Vanta pXRF analyser work together to create an automated workflow that seamlessly allows you to log accurate, real-time data. #Automation #DataIntegrity #AssayResults #xrf #pxrf #maxgeo #geoscience

Maxgeo has collaborated with Evident Industrial to create a standard maxgeo export template that will capture results and meta data at the source and can be set up as an automation workflow to get pXRF data from your analyser to DataShed seamlessly. #geology #xrf #geoscience

Mac OS is getting worse and worse. It was great for a while. Windows now seems mostly designed for people who don't work. Made for browsing and playing games vs being a serious desktop for getting things done. Both suck, but Mac still sucks less. I use Linux for most things.

I like X forwarding because I can hear all the tiny switches I use in my house start screaming out for death when I connect to one of my servers on the other side of the house.

Erwin, LOL

I forget what the game was, but I ended up tanking the office bandwidth remotely running a game via X on the Indy that I had in my office. 1997, if I recall. I don't remember if that was 100mb full or half duplex, or what the game was.

Still looking for help finding a "retro" terminal font reminiscent of the early days of UNIX. I would love your help! cc @datashed @SIGCIS @aka_pugs

Now there's a name I've not heard in a long time........

Yes! That’s so cool!
