Our PMs use it, and my tasks for each customer get pushed to my Outlook task lists, and when I mark them as "completed" it marks them as done in Project Server/SharePoint
@Andrew I get it. Summary: Porn star tweets "Whoever builds me the best Lego creation to put in my house gets a [bj]". Internet responds with fervor. Lawyers eventually step in a ruin everyone's fun. The end.
I did not care for Gravity... The action and suspense is great, but the giant "F*ck You!" it throws at science and the laws of physics in every single scene get old, real old.
The zoot suits, maybe. None of the hipsters I've seen carry full-auto SMGs around with them, though.
Shame too... if the hipsters did, maybe they'd get into it with the street gangs, eliminate each other and make wide swaths of many American cities habitable again.
@MarkHenderson I had that problem myself (a trickle of throughput), but it turned out to be a swollen prostate. A few anti-inflamatories cleared it up right quick.
@MarkHenderson I took it more as "here is some idea of what consumer-grade HDD you could buy"... and Seagate was (seemingly) very bad. What they didn't tell us was they were using 8 year old drives and had huge failure rates.
@MarkHenderson Those are port multipliers... Using SAS Expanders with some good controller cards would significantly increase throughput. Though, I suspect they plain don't care are 99.99999% data probably gets written once and never touched again.
Not to say that the Backblaze blogs should be taken as storage gospel, but for the backup use-case, they seem to be more useful than just "anecdotal" to me.
Both. Broadcom pretty much leads the industry in features, but also bugs.
They're not typically open source friendly either. Many of the drivers they release are hamstrung, incomplete, "go out of their way to comply with the GPL but also f- the community"
How is OpenWRT off topic on ServerFault? Is Cisco IOS offtopic? I'm totally confused. This site has a really nebulous purpose that needs some serious refinement.
OpenWRT is linux distribution that I use to run a NAS platform for a business use. This is from the OpenWRT homepage

I think with that I'm gonna sack out, and brace myself for the nightmares that are bound to come my way from hearing regular imaging as a preventative maintenance task.

Anyway, I don't quite understand the OpenWRT vs Cisco discussion. Cisco's main business is switches and core routers. Nothing an OpenWRT build would replace.
unless of course you're tying together 7 5-port routers to build a 24-port "switch".
@JourneymanGeek For home, it's all fun and games and we all have to make do a little bit. Any kit I get will have to be talking over a wireless bridge to a switch because I can't run cables - that's just what I have to do
@Dan: same reason I use homeplug. My dad's business currently runs out of the apartment, and I dare say we have a better set up than we did when we had a seperate office.
I'd kill for an actual budget though, more so than an actual salary ;p
I recently dreamt of building up a rack in the desert. It did not need to even have a cover as it is was never raining there. Somehow the issues of power, connectivity and cooling were solved - probably by cooling down the desert and running a tight mesh of interconnecting tubes through the sand dunes. After I woke up, I figured, it must have been Quatar.
@syneticon-dj Yeah, I remember the bad old days of satellite and it was dire - but a friend fitted it and was really impressed with how much you could get away with on modern stuff. Streaming movies and everything
@tombull89 It's directed microwave really. And you only get the channels your provider assigns to you. So the bandwidth basically depends on what piece of spectrum you are paying for.
@JourneymanGeek not necessarily. There are sattelite uplinks, but they need to be really carefully directed.
@HopelessN00b This may be a bit education centric, but I see no problem with regular imaginf of machines. Your imaging process should be solid enough for this and all data should be centralised. If I was a network manager and had the time, I'd probably rebuild student PC's at least a couple of times a year
We rebuild all of our PCs and Macs, about 1800 machines, every year. It's the best damn way I know of to ensure that everything is clean, working, not to mention it stress tests the workstations and shows up faults that users haven't reported.
only takes a few weeks during the summer holiday time, and as we have a 4 year replacement schedule we'd have to image 1/4th of the machines either way
@tombull89 actually that's a fair point, the speed of progress has slowed. The difference between 2014 and 2010 isn't as vast as the difference between 2004 and 2010
@dan I think education is something of a special case, we have a lot more software installed and machines do get caned harder I think.
Yes. Also, as much as we sneer about "cloud all teh things" here at times, a lot of software that previously would have to run locally is now done through a web browser and a nice web front end to a server somewhere else and that improves the viability of older machines too.
@RobM Having the odd conversation with recruiters, but still too early for them. But I've got a project w/c 17th Feb which has some nice CV fodder, plus the fact I've finished the Citrix exam track; so, I'll be re-uploading my CV that week and then hitting it hard.
09:52 < jreid> 1995 - At a neighborhood Italian restaurant Rasmus Lerdorf
realizes that his plate of spaghetti is an excellent model for
understanding the World Wide Web and that web applications
should mimic their medium. On the back of his napkin he designs
Programmable Hyperlinked Pasta (PHP). PHP documentation remains
on that napkin to this day.
1987 - Larry Wall falls asleep and hits Larry Wall's forehead on the keyboard. Upon waking Larry Wall decides that the string of characters on Larry Wall's monitor isn't random but an example program in a programming language that God wants His prophet, Larry Wall, to design. Perl is born.
When I'm on site, the customer is paying at least double what I'd expect to make contracting on my own - so I'm pretty used to being seen as being expensive. Though, to be honest, I never had an issue with people expecting more - I work may more 'to rule' on site, than I do in the office. 9 - 5 with an hour for lunch, the only exception being when I fuck up
To be honest, my experience with contractors is that they're mostly lazy fucks with limited investment. I don't wish to be like that, but from what I've seen, I won't have to work too hard to stand out
@TomO'Connor Cheers mate - appreciate the thought, but having scan read it's a bit too LAMP for me. I'm hoping that Citrix is going to pay for my bread
ok... you know how I moaned a few times about how hyperv wasn't quite as good as vmware? It's never kernel panicked on me just for starting up a bunch of vms.
@RobM At this point in time, HyperV and ESXi are pretty much thoroughbred racehorses competing for first place over the last 100 yards. XenServer has stumbled and fell over, but is limping in behind some 5 minutes later
@Chase: my brother has a masters, and close to 8 years of official experience. He's sent out 68 applications. He's had ONE interview, after which, no reply.
a lot of employers are just either picky, or putting out applications for local folk, claiming no one's suitable, and hiring who ever's cheaper.
