What's Your Current Project?
-
well let's see the joys of being a home owner, next week having the electrical panel upgraded to new breakers and 200 amp service (currently on push lock breakers and 100 amp) and this year looking at having to replace the 10 year old roof because the former home owner was a cheap sob. So cheap that the starter row was put on incorrectly, no ice and water shield and so on so when the snow melted we had water coming in through the windows. Oh and to top it off we have to replace the biggest window the in house that is going to cost $3,000. Oh joy. edit forgot to add that we have lived in the house for just over a year now.

We tried to do a small project in our Texas house once. They found an electrical problem that resulted in the entire house being required for $10K

ouch, i'm hoping that doesn't happen when we upgrade ours. I'm hoping the inspector just looks at the replacement work and not the entire system.

Ouch that sucks for both of you!
Why do you need a 200 amp circuit? I think the default service around here is 100 or 120 amps. I've installed my own 60 amp sub panel in the garage - I can now do nearly anything I want out there, welding, vacumforming, etc.
I've run new power lines and installed the bathroom in my basement all myself (OK some help from a non professional friend), From what we can find it's all in code and has been working great!
Nice thing about where I live - as long as I do the work myself (non professional) I don't need permits for non structural things. -

Nice thing about where I live - as long as I do the work myself (non professional) I don't need permits for non structural things.I can run normal electrical (re-wiring switches, parsing off rooms to different circuits) all day long, however since they are replacing the entire panel and exterior pole up to the feeder line drop, i am going to let the pro's do it. As for why I am needing this, current estimated usage is right around 90amps, electric oven/cooktop, dryer, a/c. Plus my box is maxed out so no room for expansion which we want to do in a few years as well as the former home owner tripled tapped 1 of the 2 220v 40am breakers with the a/c, dryer and someone pulled a 110v leg off of that. So last summer I had to shut down my a/c at night just to do laundry so i didn't risk a fire. That wasn't fun at all. The cost to have a master electrician come in and replace/upgrade the panel to the newer switch style isn't bad, 100 amps was $1350, 200 amps is $1550. For a difference of $200 i would be stupid not to upgrade.
-
While the costs for installation might not be bad - here in Omaha, a 200 amp circuit has a higher per watt charge than the lower 100-120 amp one.

@Dashrender i am willing to pay a little more from here on out than risk having an electrical fire in my house.
edit: according to the documentation i can find from our energies provider, there is no difference in rates between 100 and 200 amp service, the price change comes into effect if you need 3 phase power. -

@Dashrender Hi, sorry for the delay.
How are you deploying your printers through GP? Should really be doing it by computer not user for most setups, because it is based on their geopgraphical location moreso, than the user (normally)
I am not a blogger either, find it hard to do that kind of thing.

My project today is to get my i7 Mac Mini backup and running for nested ESXi installs using AutoLab to create my lab. Hopefully should be ok.

Nope, can't do it at the machine level because most of my machines are laptops (65%). It's more dependent on their location.

How did you get on in the end, did you find a solution?

Doing application management automation tonight.

My current solution works - it's just slow during logon. Once logged on it's fine.

We are doing a big Atlassian rollout at NTG. As we start to take on more development focused stuff we decided that we needed a really robust infrastructure for that. So we got HipChat, Jira and Stash all rolled out last night. Should have Confluence and Bamboo soon.

Currently setting up Mediawiki on Windows 7

I'm currently in mortal combat with the installation of System Center 2012 R2.
It's been a slow process but I found this super awesome blog that I'm working through which seems to be helping.
