    I don't know about sending a window to another screen, but the 1/2 was definitely in Windows 7. That quadrant thing does sound usable, assuming your on a larger 4K type display.

    That guy sounds like he hates productivity. I can't imagine what that would be like. Cringing as I write this.

    He has changed his GoToMyPC settings to never disconnect and the session is up for days at a time.

    Social Media is king these days. I only spent about $50 in advertising for this traffic. Using Facebook Groups to promote our site has been highly effective. I have also gained more blog authors due to the amount of exposure.

  • Go-to questions to ask when interviewing a potential candidate

    We don't do tech screenings with questions like this. We interview using conversations. I find the entire idea of having a list of technical question or non-technical weird questions (what kind of bird would you be) to be a waste of time and actively counter-productive. They tell you effectively nothing about the abilities of a useful candidate. Discussions are much more telling and much harder to fake or prepare for while not weeding people out at random based on testing .0001% of their potential knowledge without knowing if it is something that they should know about. Also far less likely that the interviewer is the one that is wrong - which I've seen be the case as often as not sitting on both sides of the table. Interviewers rarely research their questions and this makes it that much worse that you might weed out people based on knowing too much!

    Related to the actual cause of the problem, I apparently was testing some SMTP stuff a while back and disabled my rule to block all SMTP outbound on my network, then forgot to turn it back on. That rule is enabled again, so now waiting to see when it gets hit to find out what the hell on my system is sending spam.

    But, this still does not resolve the MS problem with the white listing until the CBL drops off.

    I've not run my own but several people here have, they might have a good idea as to the time and effort involved.

    After looking at it for 5 minutes this morning, really no need to. It's just a client so far.

    I'd love to see something like this that you could easily keep everything in-house.

    If you're developing web applications it is great for keeping consistency across the board on dev environments; it's great mitigation for dependency hell.

    I used to give them girl's names but now I just name them after their role, plus a number.
    So
    SQL01, SQL02, EXCH01, ESXCH02, DC01, DC02, FILESERV01, SHAREPT01 etc etc

    In the age of virualisation and rapid deployment of new servers, this seems to be only practical approach in my opinion.

    Yeah, I agree. When you had physical servers that lasted a decade and only a few of them saying "Betty is down", or "The Enterprise has been infected with malware" or "Vienna is running slow today" was effective because we treated each one like a person and everyone dealt with just a few of them. It made sense in smaller environments. I still remember the roles of our two biggest Windows NT 4 boxes from the 1990s. They each made it ten years and were named Vienna and Salzburg. I can still tell you the memory configs on them, what apps they ran, their RAID configs, their processors, and their full histories. There were our babies, so naming them as such made sense.

    But now that we create and destroy VMs every day and have tons and tons more of them that would just not work like it used to. It used to take months or years to decommission a physical box. Now we turn off a VM in seconds.

    the problem with moving it is that the APs only want to talk to the device that activated them. At least by DNS name if not by IP. So if you restore to a new machine with a different IP, you'll have to change DNS at least, if not manually reset all APs and import them again.

    I'm pretty sure you can telnet or SSH into them and change it. Pretty sure I've done it before.

    Yeah I suppose, I tried today but it would not accept my password. I should try again when I'm not under the gun.

    Jason, do you understand that it is the same password you use for the controller?

    No, It's been a while since I've used them but it was under settings on the controller you set a device password. otherwise it's likely just ubnt/ubnt for the user/pass of the AP.

    Yeah I saw that are, on phone now, and I recall seeing my username in there, but the password was started out.
