I have massive list of Drupal 7 sites, would offering migration services work?

I scrapped 1000's of d7 sites, does anyone have experience contacting them and trying to book a migration gig?

most of them could convert to WP if that's what they want

I'll cold call them, anyone tried this?

Will i5 14600k do down in price again?

Saw this processor on sales for $150 last year and didn't bother buying it...I have an i3 12100 with 32g of ram

Now i regret it...DRR5 makes changing ridiculous

Will the i5 14600k go down in price again? Maybe black Friday or before/after raptor lake refresh ?

Web dev/designer thinking of reinventing myself as AI provider/transitional helper/consultant, do I even stand a chance?

Been building websites for 20 years, can do heavy duty stuff, like WP custom and Drupal.

But getting work is getting nearly impossible, especially to fix defective legacy websites, even if they desperately need help...

So thinking of getting into AI solutions and automation.

Problems, every kid on youtube and twitter is spilling the beans telling everyone how to do this, so I suspect business owners will be getting 30 cold calls a day on this....

I do have hundreds of thousands of leads, so if this IS possible, it would be great!

But the question is, does this even work, anybody doing this successfully without being hung up and told to F_ Off, 300 times a day? My outbound strategy will be cold calling.

PS. No AI slop/Kids selling courses or Gohigh level staff comments please 😉

I have a paid Google voice account, registered in Canada years ago, how reliable will it be for outbound SMS? Low volume

For twilio you need a licence for the A2P 10DLC to send SMS, not sure how Google handles this...

How reliable is it?

Does anyone mix traditional automation with AI?

​

I use autohotkey, python and various Linux batch scripts to automate, also using crons and browser automation , macros, regex and so on

thinking of merging with AI, I use Claude to manage and write the scripts

so some of you guys do that?

if so, what are your workflows?

Anybody on this group has Symptomatic Uncomplicated Diverticular Disease (SUDD)

Hi everyone, here is my situation.

I started to have lower left abdomen pain about 6 months ago, came and went, also had flat stools and that really worried me...

So I got a colonoscopy, they found 2 polyps, they took them out, both were non cancerous, so that was the good news!

However, they found to diverticulas, at the same spot as the polyps, and that's actually where my pain is located.

I looked it up and I think I have:

"Symptomatic Uncomplicated Diverticular Disease"

the pain is about 1/10, stomach gurgles, it's not horrific, but things aren't just right.

Does anybody else have this?
