What Are You Doing Right Now

Those planes that pickup water and drop it on forest fires... can't they use salt water? sure it will have to be fixed afterwords.. but still.

My point exactly!

Why not drop 10,000 pounds of baking soda per trip? It weighs less than water, and would help put the fire out....

Actually there might be a very good reason not to do this.
It might blight the land making it inhospitable to growing things.

@Dashrender yup, and while it's not a huge deal in the middle of nowhere, it's really the cost to fix the tanks after the corrosion that stops anyone from doing it.
Edit: tanks, pumps, hoses, cross contamination (sea life -> fresh water = bad), etc.

Figured out where a lot of our space went. 3.0TB Windows C Drive. Never expanded past 30GB in windows but, increased in Vcenter. Now, how to fix it. I don't think you can decrease the size of thick provisioned disks.

@thecreativeone91 good grief, did it log ALL of the things?

Image it to another machine, then delete it and restore the image.

Not worth the trouble for a Windows 2k8 r2 Server. I'll just plan on replacing it with a 2k12 r2 server soon.

Has been a long Monday. Glad it is almost over!
@MattSpeller -- you still stuck in the smoking section? Or are you just outside of it?

Stop trying to download the internet... Leave some for the rest of us.

Apparently I'm running an Exchange 2007 to Exchange Online staged migration for 1 user...
We upgraded almost a year ago, before I even started working here, but a temp employee just came back and needs access to her email and oh yeah it's on-prem still. Time to learn stuff I shouldn't need to know!
This is how people get a case of the Mondays.

@dafyre It's a thick haze still, with ash falling everywhere like a cheezy end of the world movie

What? that's crazy. Assuming you can connect OUtlook to that server, I'd just create a PST then import that PST into her online profile.

Interesting, I might go try that! Thanks for the idea, I'm not very well versed in Exchange-o-mancy.

I am finally back to Texas and out of the car. It has been three long days of driving in bad weather, horrible traffic and no cruise control. I've had non-stop traffic since Richmond, KY!

Wow - I don't do much travelling, but the times down i75 towards TN has never been an issue.
However, it could be some holiday traffic in what you drove in. Glad you made it.
-
This was a lot more traffic than you usually see on this route. I do this drive all of the time and this was very abnormal. At no point in all of Louisiana was it not bumper to bumper! In Texas, at one point, I was in stop and go traffic because of one single guy busy drinking his coffee!! Whole highway backing up because he literally forgot he was driving. As you drove by you was just staying out a side window, didn't seem to know that he was driving at all.

Hope you're doing ok with the forest fire and the smoke @MattSpeller .
