Off to a gig (for @art_of_shred) with drinking and mayhem I am sure it's the Guitarist's bday today so I am sure lots of shots and drinks to go around.

Updating Windows Mobile 6.1 device... took me almost an hour to find the correct firmware for it.
Gah! You have to place the update files in the temp folder on these devices! That's really annoying!

Musical was great. About a family with next to no income living on the Kiez (Slang for the area around the Reeperbahn, Hamburgs red-light district). Father is a really bad drunkard, first daughter is managing and holding together everything, second daughter with a few weeks old baby (father unknown), grandma seriously sick, a priest having a sexual relationship with one of the sons (since he was 14), the other son had a very special "garden" project (weed) and the boyfriend of the first daughter is working for the feds.
Suddenly, the first daughter got a letter telling her that they will be removed from their poor flat if they don't pay the missing rents within 2 weeks, 7500 EUR total. Her father never paid the rents but bought alcohol whenever possible. After struggling with at least getting some money (like blackmailing different guys about the baby, blackmailing the gay priest, selling drugs, stealing from the drug dealer and so on, old granny won the lottery. A special form very popular here in Germany where you get 7500 EUR free of taxes monthly for 10 years or until you pass away. Great for the family, but granny died a second later. So they had to cheat the notary.
Funny story, good music and singing. We just had a great evening.

Just finished created 60 packet captures (and 60 phones calls to go along with it) to send to Sangoma support.
I hate interfacing with POTS service. Even when it is not real POTS but POTS hand off from the ISP.
Picked up a Grandstream GXW4108 and call quality was horrible. Support was worse.
Replaced it with a Sangoma Vega 50. Call quality is great, when calls connect. Support has been great, but I seriously just want this done.
The client has another 3 years in the contract and do not want to pay the termination fees and pay to get a fiber (they are on coax now) from another ISP. The RoI from month savings would take nearly a decade if we did. But switching after contract term is so high on their priority list.

Thinking what spec of 2 hosts I need to run 6-7 VM's with the following spec - 4vCPU, 24GB RAM, 80GB HD (I think 120GB to be save i.e. windows updates etc)

how do you know the specs of the vCPUs? That's not normally something that you can know beforehand.

Hanging out with the wife and her sister a bit this morning while I get caught up. Tonight, speaking at spicecorps in Auburn.

Trying to recover from Gig last night, and steel myself for SpiceCorps tonight.

I would agree, but the bosses here have a soft spot for nostalgia... they were originally based in Huntsville. I will be finding other alternatives today.

Is this pay wall trend a new thing. I've tried reading 3 different news sites today and they all want me to pay for new content.

It is becoming increasingly popular as people figure out that news sites have nothing of value. you paywall in order to get money before people know if the content has value.

I find it handy, if there is a paywall, I don't waste time ready crap.

Our service is now back up. Their tech support said there was a cut fiber somewhere on their site, so I guess they spliced it in record time.

Acclimating myself to my new position. Just took a tour and I am now looking at each server and reading up on vmware
