There be some pretty servers! That @BradfromxByte is top notch

Going to the Cleveland Zoo Sat. Wonderful 4 hour drive with 2 kids under 3. Visiting cousins Sat and Sunday before another wonderful 4 hour drive back again with 2 kids under 3.

We sell Carrier Services and usually size based more on the number of calls not the number of people. 30 simultaenous calls should be easy on any good (read: true business class) Internet circuit. @scottalanmiller has the bandwidth nailed on the head above. We di try and get users to get the best Upstream bandwidth which for cable modem installs around here is very difficult (Time Warner only offers 5Meg UP even in Business Class which is pathetic).
For our needs internally we needed well over 100 simultaneous call paths. We went with a dedicated circuit to a Rochester based cough carrier cough and a backup trunk over an Internet circuit. While bandwith has never been an issue lets just say I can't wait for the contract for the cough carrier to expire so that we can port and go to the Internet for our needs and dump them!

On the phone with Windstream. Need I say any more?

I like basic as basic as possible, and also what I call "1 click close" where I click one button to close a ticket and not have to jump through tons of hoops to close out.

talking ugh faxing with my boss ugh again

Any internal or external DNS changes??

Boil Water advisory issued for my town. Had a break in a 36" main overnight. Could be 3-4 days before the order is lifted.

I saw some items on load balancing for Exchange. I will see if my team lead here has a good tech contact at Kemp and see if they can join the community.

@coliver said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

That's pretty much what it was. Emilia is used to white noise so without it she kept startling herself awake. Normally she wakes up at ~3AM and goes immediately back to bed after a feeding. Last night she was up ~every 10 minutes.

WIth my boys, battery powered radio on static got us through some overnight power outages. Being an Amateur Radio nut, it was easy to just set one of my ham radios to an unused frequency and I have enough batteries to go all night.

I've had good luck with both 620 and 720 so far

Jury Duty today. Big hurry up and wait.

I need to convince the wife we need to move 60 miles down the Thruway!

Back from Family Reunion weekend. Well, not really back we never left they all came here. Did all the "tourist" things we never do except when family's in town...Niagara Falls, CanalSide, etc. Fun tiems but ready to get into my next project, mailbox moves!

What Jared said. We have a location on Comcast with a static IP. Comcast was supposed to send us a modem only, but send a modem/router instead. Even though we worked with Comcast support to bridge their piece of crap and could get our router connected, it never ever worked. FINALLY (after I think 3 maybe 4 support calls and truck rolls) thelast truck tech replaced it with an arris modem only and we got it to work. You may just have to call them and be as persistent as possible.

The whole home lab thread got me itching, so I set up my raspberry Pi last night that I got for Christmas. Good! SSH from work into this morning, rebooted it:
shutdown -h now
OOPS
so now I guess I have to work rest of today

@scottalanmiller You can still buy the IBM clicky keyboards www.pckeyboard.com

Sister in law wants the kids this weekend (which is funny as she's due any day with her first, she wants 1 last weekend as "cool aunt") so wife and I are getting house stuff done Saurday, then off to go hiking Sunday, probably Letchworth but haven't decided yet.

So if you have Windows DHCP handing out IP's for BYOD devices, you need to have CAL's for them? Did not know that, but looking at it makes sense as the BYOD device is using a resource form the server. Got to re-think some of our deployments

Helping my dad on cell phone connect to the wireless at ATL he is stuck due to the outage
