Just making my coffee now, doing some writing.

One more hour of ELMAH log monitoring, then I get to sleep.

Why can't you set email alerts with triggers? Save on wasted time watching grass grow.

Monitoring our web server for the next 12 hours and passing some of the time by farming platinum in Everquest.
EverQuest is still around?
There is a name I have not heard in a low time.
@EddieJennings and I talk about it often enough in passing on here. So no excuse for not hearing it.

@JaredBusch I'm also messing around with the Al'Kabor Project as well.

@Texkonc Brain too fried to give you a good answer (assuming there's a good answer to give), other than from 00:00 - 06:00 this morning, had I been sleeping, E-mail alerts wouldn't have awoken me.

This discussion seems to have prompted a bit of "you have to do it like this" as if there is only one answer to all IT (which is high availability and on premises) without anyone asking what the needs are. The lack of asking about needs, but the abundance of "there is only one way to do it" makes me think that a lot of people think that IT doesn't involve any decision making.

that one guy literally just used that Boeing needs redundant parts in airplanes as his excuse for why he won't even consider the business needs of his customers!

I can't believe how often people on SW outright admit, and take pride in, the fact that they don't do the job that they are paid to do and try to scam their customers. It's only once every few weeks, but that it ever happens is just mind blowing. That anyone things it is okay to brag about screwing other people, especially people specifically paying you to protect them, is insane. No wonder people don't trust their IT people, they shouldn't. If that number are willing to brag in public with their name and face on it that they are taking advantage of their customers' naivety, imagine how many do it secretly!

Lol yeah.
Planes have two engines... so that means you need two dns servers!

And Boeing has made single engine planes, too. Even that bit of his argument wasn't true. Not big commercial passenger planes, but others.
And some passenger planes are single engine. He's ALSO implying that Boeing is the only plane maker to emulate.
The number of things that make no sense so that he can excuse what he does to unsuspecting customers is pretty crazy.

In all honesty, if you were his customer, his sold you multiple servers and you read that statement... tell me you'd not be considering a call to a lawyer.
Dollars to donuts he's a VAR and gets paid for the sale of the extra gear.

He basically just said that he doesn't care if he's wrong, isn't interested in being corrected, and wants to share his incorrect information anyways to whoever will listen.

Yup, that was quite the "I don't want to start an argument" immediately after intentionally starting one. He could have just said he was a crook and left it as an option. But he made it a personal attack to mock anyone that didn't screw people like that. WTF

That's why you set critical and warnings to text you and info to email you. Ran it that way for years at previous gig.

I'll have to look into that. Methinks after this week, ELMAH is going to become part of my sphere of responsibility.

I see, but then it begs the question as to what was the purpose of the comment.

Reading that thread about Hyper-V now to see what all the fuss is about.
