This looks interesting. Here is a link http://www.jetbrains.com/clion/

@thecreativeone91 Thanks. That was the one.

Just checked out some of his activity. Good God.

To those interested... Link HERE

Thanks for the read.

I like the idea of a bounty system.

Anyone have an Arduino around here. Looks like you can do some cool stuff with it. www.arduino.cc

I currently work for a non-profit that uses oneblox and we love it. I'm not really sure there is anything that compares to it, I love the fact that expanding storage is so easy and Bob and Louis on their support team rock! I don't think a regular NAS can stack up to a Oneblox. Let me know if you have any questions.

@lance "I work for a non-profit and helped other non-profits and I really can't relate to this rant at all."

Yeah, you know, the non-profit guys I work with never seem to have much in the way of problems. They get hardware and software they need pretty easily. The biggest issue they have is typically that they get a bunch of stuff they can't use/don't need and then have to reach out to their network of non=profit sysadmins to redistribute.

It's true we get software really cheap, but hardware is another story. I'm not going to accept hardware that costs more to maintain that it is worth, which is the instance in most cases.

I ended up finding that if I add another for statement and nested in the first for loop and then cout some blank spaces I was able to achieve what I was looking to do. Below is what I had to do.

for(i = 0; i < num_rows; i++)
{
for(j = 0; j < num_cols_1; j++)
{
    // print j'th element in i'th row of array 1
}

// print some spaces

for(j = 0; j < num_cols_2; j++)
{
    // print j'th element in i'th row of array 2
}
 }

I just started reading a ruby on rails book, I was curious what you thought of http://www.sublimetext.com/ the dude in the book is raving about it.

Side note, I think I'll be doing all my trial and error in a VM, the windows software seems a bit like crap lol.

Sublime text is where it's at. I love it.

I was wondering what people favor, webforms or MVC?

Thank you both

I've got a lot of questions about how object based storage works but that's another topic entirely

Would you be confident in their product without a backup solution?

I think Exablox has a deal going on now that if you buy two OneBloxs you get a third for free and you can then create a cluster which would work great for what you are looking to do. If you buy just one OneBlox, you are going to need to do something for DR. Currently the only way I know of for this is using robocopy to send the files off site to another device.

Happy Birfday!!!!

I'm working on some C# and after an hour and a half of typing out code without stopping, I thought of this post. Hopefully everything runs like I think it should. lol

That's true, but it is going to be a big pain in the you know what once that server starts filling up and you will still need more space for your backups. The good thing with Exablox is that you can keep adding and removing disks on the fly.

Yeah, true

The lack of data duplication still weirds me out though, probably because I don't really understand OBS. As Scott said, I'll still need a backup system. AFAIK if you have 3+ of these things it's still not duplicating data between them

I think how a Oneblox cluster works is that once you have a cluster it pools all the storage together and kind of replicates the data across all of the Oneblox so you can withstand multiple drive failures across multiple Oneblox and incase of a oneblox failure. I only have two Oneblox and have them in a mesh so I don't know the exact details on how the cluster operates.

The Big Lewbowski still has got to be my favorite movie.
