@scottalanmiller Thanks! So many things I want to do and learn. Just have to remember to approach things the same I do when eating an elephant.

Step 1: Find the elephant gun.

Step 2: Bring a big fork.

And eat one bite at a time

My Dell R310 has arrived

Conversation from earlier today.

Me: Listening to $ITDeptMember explain this makes me think there is a good chance of a train wreck occuring.

@EddieJennings Ok, I have failed my attention to details test today. Amazing the things you learn when you click "About."

I'm thinking through what my travel schedule would look like for this. The last day of the conference is the 28th. Does the conference last the entire day on the 28th? If so, then I'd plan my return trip to be on the 29th.

I look forward to the day where I might be supporting a FreePBX system rather than Altigen MaxCommunication Server 8.

I'm trying to estimate how much it would be for me to attend. I called the Holiday Inn and they said the block is around $119 / night + taxes. It's been over 10 years since I've traveled to New York. What percentage should I estimate the hotel tax to be for Rochester?

@NerdyDad Despite living in Georgia all my life, I bleed green and gold.

Reading DNS/BIND book and watching my A's blow a game.

Things that make me smile:

Small victory: Acquired approval and just ordered 4 Seagate enterprise grade hard drives to install on one of our servers to replace the usage of a Synology ds1512 + consumer hard drives.

Continue reading DNS and BIND.

About to record a middle school band concert.

Learning. Always learning.

From: https://msdn.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/advanced-format-disk-compatibility-update

This topic introduces the effect of Advanced Format storage devices on software, discusses what apps can do to help support this type of media, and discusses the infrastructure that Microsoft introduced with Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 to enable developers to support these types of devices.<

I must've misunderstand the usage of apps. Article was a good read.

It's about performance. Not support.

Curious, because it read to me like it's a support issue, which can be worked around with the 512e drives with a possible performance cost. However, on second thought, it would make sense that if the OS supports 4kn sectors, then the applications running on top of it shouldn't care about the sectors (which is what you said before).
