I'm here. What an odd website this is.

Anyway...

With regards to why your computers aren't checking in...well, I have a how-to for that as well!

He's been posting on FB, no mention of accident, so he must be OK.

Rob will beat Bill. But I'll beat both.

It's a race! You post twice as much as I do (in these last couple months), so it should be close.

...and thanks for the kind words about our Powershell session! Martin and I love doing it and would enjoy doing a tool building session (like SAM said, a logic flow toward solving a problem).

Is there a way to get email notifications upon responses to threads? Am I missing something - - I didn't seem to see anything in my profile setup. I'm also half drunk so maybe it's right over here somewhere...

I'm essentially putting together a poor-man chat service. Mostly for use in Spiceworks so techs can chat back and forth with each other...

Now, I'm using some demos that I found online and I have to say, Node.js is pretty friggin' cool.

The end goal is to have a pop-out window that appears when a person logs into the help desk. Technician's name would automatically connect to the chat (no passwords as of yet). Also, shouldn't t really make it a widget since it would live at the dashboard, but feasibly, you could use something like this on the user portal.

It's extremely lightweight and requires no client - just a web browser.

What do you guys think? Has anyone else here worked with Node.js?

Good cleanup practice. All the mods are skimping on their duties to check in on the abandoned threads.

YOU'RE AN ABANDONED THREAD, SCOTT ALAN MILLER

@thanksaj BOOYA!

BOOM!
Finally - PC!

@IRJ That's why this is a community and not email

Good luck with your deployment!

Thought you guys would appreciate this...

That new Quad Core unit looks pretty awesome. I may actually have to pick one of those up!

This had been my go-to home AV for my personal clients for awhile, but the reminder to register was too much for my users (I know, right?). So I would eventually end up giving them Bit Defender or Avira instead...

I'm going to try it out and see how it goes.

I'm not sure I do...since letting it loose would mean a wet muddy mess and my house cleaner doesn't seem to do windows.

Or anything above eye level..

That's what CrapCleaner is for!

If the solution to a problem is "don't reboot", that's a pretty sad solution.

This is counter to everything that we in IT stand for. Not being able to reboot would make me twitchy.

One reason I avoid CNet/Download.com. I use Ninite for everything like that nowadays.

Yes, I do like Ninite for this, but on my work PC, that's a no-no.

You should really reformat that script - add some metadata for context based help, parameters, etc. - it would make it a lot easier to use.
