@scottalanmiller Hey Scott, not too bad thanks. Ticking a long !! Nice to you you're still on here and Spiceworks !! How's life treating you, family all ok ?

@minion-queen Thanks for the reply hope all is well your end. Thanks, Gabi.

Yap! For sure.

Keep that chin up ! Just pick yourself up and carry on going. If it wasn't meant to be, it wasn't.

Keep us posted

What a nice helpful community

If I understood you correctly, I believe not.

But you won't be able to upgrade to the latest version of the software, and support is really encouraged, specially for backups.

What notification are you expecting? It doesn't send emails. I use the "Unread" option to see when new stuff has posted. The "bell" icon is supposed to show notifications but I'm not sure how well that it works.

user x replied in your thread.
user x quoted you in thread.

That is all I need, standard stuff in other forums.

Notifications should be standard, but it informs me of any thread/any post made, which defeats the object.

No CDN yet as Scott has pointed out, plus the hosting is in the UK, with a company I (and my colleague) have around 300 sites with, but will be changing from, as I am finding extra performance issue and support is not as what it used to be.

Two questions.

1. What is CDN?
2. Who are you currently using and who are you moving to? I'm about to setup some websites for some new projects and I've signed up with tsohost.com. I've heard some good things about them, but they are suspiciously cheap - 4 Windows sites for £2.99 a month in total.

Sorry for delay, not always getting notified when people reply, frustrating.

Point 1) has been answered
Point 2) we will be moving most to tsohost.com (same as you) which is the same company as vida host. Don't worry about the pricing, they are superb.

In regards to who as for a CDN, I need to find a new provider, need to work out what is the best value for buck. We have nearly 300 sites, so it starts becoming very expensive.

Slacker.

Pay for my flight and I will be over

More than happy to come, will be fun.

Talking to my 4 year old on FaceTime. Takes a bit of bandwidth apparently..

Just noticed you have an EdgeMax, how you getting on with this bad boy?!!?

Could not get one in the UK when I was there, would like one to play with.

Thanks,

G.

Gabi,
I love them and they are my #1 choice when a router is needed in the SMB space. They may not work for all locations, but I always consider them first.

Here is ascreen shot form a client with a busier one. 6 Site to site OpenVPN tunnels, 1 IPSEC, and OpenVPN Server for wandering connections.

Sorry didn't get notified you replied. That is pretty awesome. I need to get one to play with !

@scottalanmiller said:

The new site is really looking awesome!

Hopefully all ok.

Email me, let me know please.

Thanks,

G

Gosh I love W3 Cache, I tend to use this for the GZIP compression, instead of doing it through the .HTACCESS file (even though the latter is my preferred method. On the About me page, gone from Page Speed Grade of 53% to 96%.

I'll sort out the rest later and put a blog post on it.

And what a splendid day it is today, nice and sunny considering it's getting to the winter here down under. (where I am)

Not done any optimising yet, due to having paid commitments. As it's my personal one, I do not provide myself the professionalism that I provide clients

Homepage is a bit slow due to the excessive image on there, hasn't been compressed for the tinterweb yet.

Don't really have a lot of plugins, but I will be stripping out what I do not need and optimising the code where possible.

No CDN yet as Scott has pointed out, plus the hosting is in the UK, with a company I (and my colleague) have around 300 sites with, but will be changing from, as I am finding extra performance issue and support is not as what it used to be.

I'll be showing a before and after optimised website matrix on the blog, once I have finished so people can see the difference and how I went about it.

Sorry about this, I sound all mature and I have just bored myself too much.

Thanks everyone for the feedback so far.

I'm going to expand on it and put some portfolio stuff, companies that I do work for and so on.

I really want to elaborate on the exam material and hopefully it could help others. I know exams don't mean much but after a long spell of not getting any done, its a self achievement award for me.

Let's see how I get on.

I dig it. Do you write content?

Not at this moment. Hoping to do so.

My writing style isn't a conventional method, too honest and direct which can be shocking for some.

I'd come, but it is a bit far.

Hi there,

Over the last many years, I have been meaning to do something with the domain I bought for myself.

It was going to be a simple holding page with a CV, but I have decided to change it slightly.

I've decided this will be where I will collate all the information of what I learn and if possible, document it on here.

As well as general blog posts for solutions I have found, I will also be posting my study guides and the materials I have used, for the exams I will be doing over time.

Additionally to this, I have also compiled some practice tests for the VCP5 (no real questions) and will be adding to them, including Configuration Maximums and anything else I can think of (please note, question sets have been acquired from other people and thus the wording is not my own)

Over time, I am hoping this will be a small library of useful information.

If you guys/girls could have a look and provide me some structured feedback, on where things go wrong and or, recommendations, that would be superb.

I have not tested it fully yet.

Thanks a million,

Gabi

@Gabi Can't wait for that update. XD

Same.

There are a lot of handy elements.

I will be moving from my Nexus 5 back to iPhone.

I think a lot of these features will be very handy.

Not sure about the 6 users on a single credit card though

@Pol said:

Simply useful.

It didn't get a ton of attention Monday, but Apple's next mobile operating system means significant changes for how iPhone users send and receive messages.
If you're an Apple user, this is a big deal. Messages is the most frequently used app in iOS, and is how most users share texts, photos and videos with each other.
With iOS 8, coming this fall, Apple is borrowing features from popular messaging platforms like Snapchat and WhatsApp while unveiling some new tricks of its own.
Here's a quick look at the new messaging features announced at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference. We'll find out in a few months whether they catch on with users.

I like it. Did whack this up on the wwdc thread
