Where is everyone this morning? Man this place is slow.

Just got to work at a quarter of 6, and I brought in donuts. We're adding some Cisco 4500s and changing the network so that the core isn't reliant on a single, old 6509 an the new design will have redundancy from the firewall throughout.

We'd have to do that work between the hours of 1 AM and 1:15AM.... can't have downtime!

Part of that was sarcastic...

I completely agree, but the business made the decision on the time. I wanted to do it at 10pm or so. Instead, we're kicking off at 6:30 for some of the servers and 7 for the network, with an anticipated finish 90 minutes later.

I'm a fan of any 18 year old scotch, really. Macallen is one of my favorites. Dalwhinnie is great. I recently fed Scott some Johnnie Walker Gold label, though, with no complaints.

McAllen 12 is my go too, but I am slowly getting pulled to Laphroaig especially if a good cigar is involved.

<threadjack> Have you tried Nubs? I'm a big fan of them, and I really love all of the Oliva cigars, especially the V torpedoes.

Sweet. I'll play with this Soon(tm)!

I just had a user ask me if the picture used to login on Win7 could be changed, so I showed her, and then she asked why it didn't use the same picture from AD. I found that to be a very good question. Has anyone gotten the login ID picture to be synced up to AD?

@travisdh1 @Jaredbusch I really want the 3d printed version of the board game.

Never saw that before.
A friend has a base for the board game that he bought from a kickstarter.
But never saw an entire 3D printed game. That would have all kinds of copyright issues.

Really? http://www.thingiverse.com/search?q=catan&sa= for the pieces and such, and then some work to sand and paint them, and then you have a board game. The copyright on Catan extends to the produced materials; what you buy in the box. There's nothing wrong with producing our own board and pieces as long as you don't photocopy stuff. You can even sell your own 3d printed pieces, as long as you don't use the trademark name or duplicate any of the board pieces exactly (which would be a 2d set).

@travisdh1 @Jaredbusch I really want the 3d printed version of the board game.

BTW, out of my meeting and back to breaking things.

Internet died here. Posting from my phone.

You poor soul. Any idea what is up?

Our guess is that the "internet guy" shut it off. It's exactly a week since he was supposed to have turned it on.

Maybe you should tell him, "We're going to be here for a while. Keep checking with us before your turn it off."

... but tell him that in Italian, lol.

You could trace the wires and fix it.

Plug it back in, ha ha.

Leave a tag on it, "Alta tensione! Pericolo!"

It's alive! (caution: loud)

With that, I'm going home.

Pill press?

Travis must be selling a lot of MDMA to need something like that!

Just updated (waiting for it to boot up now) a t710 from bios v1.x to 6.4.

@WrCombs I just come back from a Dell conference: Latitude 7480 seems to be the new gold standard for business laptops, apart from Lenovo.

You went to a Dell conference and they said the new standard is a Dell laptop. Gee, I wonder why?

No, it was a conference about servers and storage.

One of the Dell people let me try his Latitude, and I say that the new Latitude are very well made.

I'm an Asus RoG fan. What are your use cases?

I got my mother one of these. It's very nice. I wish it had a touch screen. Also, she has trouble seeing the little icons on the keyboard and had to print out an enlarged picture of them. Other than that, her minecraft experience has been significantly improved.

Personally, I use a Surface Pro 4 and my wife has a 3. These devices are not our primary units, though, and I wouldn't recommend using a Surface for gaming.
