Senior Field Engineer for The Computer Dudes' Inc. thecomputerdudesinc.com We serve 6 Southern States and the World.
Cleaning out my closet and email accounts today. 10 years of Emails were deleted from my primary Gmail Account. Don't worry none of the deleted emails, data, or projects in the last 10 years were deleted. Archives are being updated and we are working on our research and training. The parts selection and engineering for upgrading our #solaronedatacenter and #solaronemonoliths have been approved and are scheduled for Fall. ATAK and Civilian Drone testing, development and training continue. Our operations and groups are around the world - all with backup and emergency plans have been distributed in case disaster struck our Tallahassee, Florida Home Base. One very sad thing - As I deleted 15 and 20 year old emails - it was truly upsetting to see so many dead companies as well as dead people who have not survived the last decade. They are remembered and honored. In Quarter, 3 and 4 - The Computer Dudes will become a pure research, development and production company. We are privately owned and our client list is well secured as well as encrypted. Since 1997 we have not had a single client with a data breach, ransomeware, or systems failure. I all clients get backup computers and contingency plans so even in a Hurricane, with no power or Internet Connections, our friends and clients can continue to function. Regards Todd W. Byars Computer Dudes Global Operations and Services Since 1997 PS: The best way to survive as a person or a company is proper planning, staying on task, working with others, and taking care of oneself. https://lnkd.in/eeqyMdn

I Lecturer I Fire Consultant I Director - Institute for Applied Fire Safety Research (IFAB) I President - International Water Mist Association (IWMA) I
A fire at the 250MW BESS in San Diego, California, reignited after being initially extinguished. Key points I gathered: - Initial fire was extinguished but reignited on a larger scale (EDIT: It seems to be still reigniting https://lnkd.in/dwZHY-cA EDIT: Damages have gone bigger than first expected https://lnkd.in/d8jvfJd6 ) - Large evacuation/precaution perimeter due to toxic fumes, causing significant public discussion. - Fire services implemented a very cautious strategy with a 600ft safety barrier, partly due to measured hydrogen levels. - Building equipped with sprinklers(?); fire services pumped water into the system and cooled the batteries for a long time. - A drone and unmanned robot were used to monitor the fire, measure temperatures, and assess air quality. - Deemed extinguished after nearly 24 hours. I am pretty sure that the operational tactics of fire services would have been very different in other countries due to varying levels of expertise in many fields. However, we need to learn best practices from real events like this. Additionally, we need to gather more information and real data to support public discussion on safety concerns.

The idea of using colored lights as an emergency signal in case of disasters in the city is very interesting. This could help direct people to safe areas and shelter camps if necessary. Consideration could be given to installing an LED lighting system interconnected with emergency sensors that would be activated automatically in critical situations. The colors could represent different instructions, such as avoiding a specific area or heading toward a host camp. Additionally, this information could be integrated into mobile applications or platforms such as Google Maps so that people can access this information in real time. This type of emergency light signaling system could be of great help to more efficiently coordinate disaster response and ensure the safety of citizens. Is there anything else I can help you with this idea?

https://lnkd.in/eBVjQKhF Gwinnett County Approves Infrastructure and Public Safety Upgrades with Major Projects in Motion Gwinnett County is moving forward with significant infrastructure improvements and public safety enhancements following the Board of Commissioners' approval of several projects. A $3.8 million overhaul of Lakeview Road will widen lanes and add sidewalks over Big Haynes Creek, while $1.5 million will be spent on upgrading traffic surveillance and crime investigation tools. Additionally, 40 Flock cameras will be installed for real-time license plate monitoring, and outdated radios will be replaced to improve communication for public safety personnel. These projects, funded through SPLOST and the American Rescue Plan Act, highlight the county’s commitment to a safer and more efficient future.

Traffic control: it's not just about stopping the show; it's about keeping the show on the road. Our specialists are the conductors of traffic, directing the flow of vehicles while ensuring everyone stays safe. They employ a strategic combination of signs, signals, and cones to navigate drivers through construction zones and mitigate potential hazards. Traffic control is essential for maintaining public safety and minimizing disruptions during critical infrastructure projects, ensuring that communities can continue to function smoothly. #ptferro #trafficcontrol #constructionlife #safetyfirst

We hope you’re staying cool in this heatwave—a reminder of the importance of thoughtful and proactive resiliency planning. Throughout this week, we’ll be sharing examples of how communities are tackling resiliency challenges, since one of the best ways we can learn is from one another! 🤝 Alameda, California is an island city prone to earthquakes and tsunamis. Our team assisted the City in building an evacuation planning tool that considered location-specific details like land use, travel modes, and intersection operations. 🚦 Alameda provides a unique challenge because of its location and limited space. The project required implementing strategies that didn’t involve construction but would still help roadway operations in an emergency. These strategies include leveraging public transit as an option for those without cars, carpooling to reduce the number of vehicles on the road, and proactively developing a local communication plan. 💬

From Kent to California: Record rainfall hits rail infrastructure 🌧️ Recent months have brought prolonged heavy #rainfall in the UK and that means unstable slopes, disruption and danger on the railways. Network Rail have installed the InfraGuard intelligent #monitoring solution on more than 50 km of the UK's most vulnerable #slopes, and the alerts have been flowing in as fast as the rainfall - providing crucial early #warning and site photos before engineers can reach the sites. And we've also been playing our part even where no monitoring was pre-installed. Survey teams from SEP Rail Services have been busy installing our wireless monitoring systems following slips and embankment failures across the UK network to help keep the trains running. But the UK is not the only place that’s been getting soaked. Storms lashed the west coast of the U.S. in late January causing a succession of #landslides that blocked a railroad in Southern California. Demonstrating the flexibility of wireless monitoring technology and the adaptability of the Senceive team, our experts were quickly on site installing tilt meters and cameras to keep track of ongoing movement during the #recovery operation.
