In this case Bass is right. Napco finally did post the latest 5.41 version
of their software sometime on or after the 8th of December. Since I don't
check the Napco site that often I didn't notice and thought they still had
the old version up there. In any case telling the guy it's there won't help
him unless Bass emailed a Napco login to him (or the whole file somehow).
Bass says he lets his customers use Quickloader software so he must have a
technique to get it to them.

I figured he would "help" the guy out. With as much experience as Bass has
with this Quickloader thing, I thought he would tell the guy how to use a
SQL editor and give him a script to straighten out the database password
thing. Perhaps reloading the software will fix the problem as Bass suggests.
You've probably had to use a SQL editor to straighten out a few database
bugs on some DVR unit, or a screwed up access control database at least a
time or two. I guessed there was a similar type work around for the
Quickloader thing that Bass would know, especially since he knew the
problem.

To be fair other posters seldom miss a chance to get at Bass either. I think
in some twisted way both sides like it too much to stop.

I don't know Bass and he doesn't know me. I couldn't take anything he says
here as a direct response to me, even if that is how he meant it. I know he
is having some medical issues. I hope he beats it. Until he blows the all
clear on that front I am going to leave him alone. Bass seems to me to be an
expert gadfly. I believe he could make a saint curse. If he thinks I am
ignoring him out of slight and not concern for him as a fellow human being
and takes offense at it then so be it. Besides if I get into it about
something it won't really ever do anything but perhaps entertain others here
who truly seem to dislike him. Once that starts some folks seem to want to
go off the deep end with their Bass attacks into ones that are too chilling
and disturbed in my view.  But some folks like reading about someone's
delight in a gaggle of buzzards taking turns giving Bass' corpse a maggot
cock enema, or worse (if that's even possible), so don't let me try to stop
anyone. I don't like to read those and so I don't want to provoke that. I
wonder if by this time next year if Bass isn't here to annoy the crap out of
them if they will be as happy about that as they claim they'll be. I don't
think so. Someone would be tempted to go dig him up and put a web cam on the
remains just to argue about an accurate count of the number of parasitoid
wasps, parasitoid beetles and predatory flies that are eating all the other
stuff crawling on him, like angels dancing on the head of a pin. Once that
gets old, next up would be to install a two way speakphone on the web cam.
Then you'd hear "I got my eye on you Bass." "Wait where are yours?" "Oh I
see it." "Look, it fell out and rolled over by your left hand." "Try and
give that old prune eye a turn this way." "Come on Bass, look at me when I
am talking to you" "What's the matter Bass?" "Cat got your tongue?" "No,
sorry,  a vulture and a coyote are fighting over it;  looks like the cat
just ate your left nut.". So I don't think it this stuff will ever end, even
when Bass is gone.

It is the Christmas season after all. I am going to try to enjoy it. Try the
link below and see if that doesn't help put you in the spirit of Christmas.
It did for me. At least I got a good laugh. After a year like this one who
couldn't use a laugh?
