Setting up my first FreePBX!

If you can dodge a wrench...

Rifle round for complete destruction. I had a WD stop .40 handgun round.

But I've also used them for target practice. I'm personally not worried about the government trying to recover the data on the drives. And I'm not worried about normal criminals trying to recover data because the cost involved would most likely be higher than the value of the data gained.

Drilling/shooting, totally fine in my opinion.

Shooting gives you a little stress relief too!

There needs to be a 9th on getting through government red tape.

I'm sure they are... I wouldnt have ordered them anyways at a premium

I just bought 4 6TB seagate surveillance drives... oh well.

I'm wanting to play with storage products like starwind etc. that I've only read about but didn't have equipment to use

they won't be on unless I'm working with them I figured they will be loud

Just ordered a couple of older servers off e-bay for my home lab for $100/ea

I purchased 1 HP Proliant GL385 G6 2x 1.85ghz 6-core 64MB RAM
and 1 HP Proliant GL385 G6 2x 2.3ghz 4-core 64MB RAM

They should serve a home lab purpose well I hope, just will need to get some storage for them.

Grabbing lunch then have an 18-Hole meeting at the Golf Course!

Yea. There isn't one box that plays everything. I'm more invested in the apple eco-system at the moment.

I think what leads to roles being all over the place is IT people usually are very good at troubleshooting so they can go up to a problem with little prior knowledge and figure out what and how it is supposed to work and what could be causing it not to. Along with that (at least from personal experience) we don't have a fear of breaking stuff further, so we're inclined to dig into it further to find the issue.

Also, IT people tend to learn things by themselves very well and are always learning something new. At my job, I hear people talking about an issue that isn't necessarily an IT issue, but I always end up helping out which leads me to do things that would fall out of my normal job description.

It should be... I've had most of the beers that I am able to get in town (West Texas... Coors light is what everyone drinks, so not alot of variety) I'm hoping one of the markets got some new stuff in.

My friends are having a try a(or 6) new beer night. There is 6 of us and we are each supposed to bring a 6 pack of something we we've never had.

I put a tv in my bedroom 2 months ago and have been waiting for the new appletv to come out to put on it. My main TV has a mac Mini hooked up to it.

Ordered... I'll let yall know how it is once I get it.

And wasn't he considering moving to a QNAP as some sort of "solution?" He stated enterprise in the title and then went for every possible way to be as far from enterprise as you could imagine.

Yea, it had all kinds of bad written all over it.

On the phone with ATT trying to cancel a toll free number. ugh!
There automated attendant plays fake typing sounds while it is looking up information... how stupid...

Yep, that is the way you can make your own vanilla extract too.
