What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

Get me the source code and I probably could get it done pretty quickly.

So, you want me to power cycle it? Does that stop the little lights from blinking? Will that give me back my wifis?

Power cycling is the universal cure all. Always will be.

Kids!

I wrote my first program on an IBM 1401.

It was the biggest one they made, 16K! At the time I thought, "who the heck is ever going to need 16K!"

No Internet, No Ethernet, no nettin'.

I did my first one on a commadore 64 in Basic! I should have ran with it at the time had I known where computers would be today

and ahh 14.4kpbs internet! I was going places, webtv was cool for a minute about the time I discovered internet ****, lol

I was still in the Mainframe world when the world started to change with PC’s. I was recruited to a “networking” company in the very early 80’s. After spending a day at the company, the guy recruiting me, who was also new to the networking company took me out to dinner and asked what I thought.

I said, “well George, all these guys I met today said there was going to be this global network and everyone would have a computer on their desk that would talk to each other over this global network and we would all communicate with electronic mail...”. George said, “yeah, yeah, I know, pretty exciting right?” I said, “yeah, but, none of that is going to happen.”

He hired me anyway, it was a pretty lucky job change, dumb luck actually. The guys I worked around pretty much were the guys who invented the Internet, contrary to popular belief that Al Gore did it.

Some of the smartest guys I ever met, but maddening to be around. They would sit around and debate how to build a protocol that could scale up to world wide use and not break. Likely why the Internet is so reliable today, because of those guys endlessly debating what the best way to do it might be.

After getting that job, I always felt kind of like Chauncey Gardener.

PS - One of the brightest engineers there at the time was a graduate of GM Institute. I never realized how great that place was until I met that guy.

I wish I had the commadore 64 back then, but I only had the Vic-20, and I still have it with the original box on a shelf in my basement, and the datasette recorder (not disk drive, but cassette tape drive).

Oh, and almost forgot, I ran the Yukon through the car wash twice today. It was so muddy, it looked like one of those prototypes the manufacturers cover up to hide the new body design.

Hopefully will have time tomorrow to install all four of the O2 sensors that just arrived from Rock Auto.

Hopefully they don’t pull an @Tonyrodz on you...

It sounds like I am going to want to hear this story.

Maybe I will PM him and have another cup of coffee. The garage floor is pretty cold this morning.
