Just had a minor breakthrough in my VDI setups... Seeing as our current setup has no DHCP server on the VLAN, and we don't have an installed SCVMM... I decided to tinker with powerrshell...
It actually is possible to change a machine's IP address with powershell... So I made it set the IP based on the Machine name, and done. Now I have a fully automated build again... No more manually touching VMs when time to re-image!

@dafyre You can do EVERYTHING with POwerShell.

Apparently so! Now where's that coffee maker...

Recovering after a power loss here.
Not sure what happened, but there were two explosions and the main cables between poles exploded off the poles.
And a tree was on fire.

This should be interesting... Power back on yet, or did you get a visit by the fire department... details man... details! -

Wow. Fire, explosions, sounds interesting
Any downtime? -

Wise choice. Probably awesome in a datacenter, but I think it's a total waste for everything < 20-50 hosts. There just is no more SMB version of System Center...

Yeah, it's ultra-mighty. As you know, I'm knee-deep into Linux, way more than into Windows, but I must admit that PowerShell is freaking awesome - just because of the way it is standarized (whatif, verbose, ...) and the way it handles output: as objects.

This could potentially swell up to 500 users in the distant future... or it may not grow past 20, lol. We're not sure yet. Just getting ready for a VMware View vs Hyper-V VDI bake off.

I shut everything down before the UPS ran out. The power people (PSEG) came after about an hour. They took out that segment and somehow got the power back on, but they warned us they'll be back to rewire the part that is now missing.
I'll admit I am not well versed in power distribution at that level.

Need to talk to an electron herder. We affectionately call them Sparky(ies) up here.

Whatever I feel like and what rounds off the dollar figure. Do you tip consistently for delivery no matter the total?

Who? Me?
I usually tip 15%, unless I am drinking. Then it is probably more.

I just had a 30 tab and rounded to 40.
Is that fair for 6 beers between 2 people?
-
Seems like a good deal to the bartender / waitress. That's like a 30% tip or something.

20% but I live in the middle of nowhere and feel bad for her when she has to drive out here

I try to tip around 25%.
