Scratching my head wondering what Mangolassi means?
Could it be a Scottish woman eating a mango?

Happy Friday everyone.

Happy for me as the prodigal tool has returned!

good morning, 9:22am.

got the word yesterday that we're expecting back on site from the 12th onwards. such ashame, the past many months have been some of the most productive, interesting & joyful with regards to work, of my last 10 years.

normally i move from site to site everyday, forgetting what I did last and wasting time settling into the newly arrived at site each time I arrive.

the past few months i've rekindled my interest in IT coz I had time to sit in one place, complete tasks & investigate new things.

I'm going to spend the time between now and the 12th trying to work out how I can run my work life from the cloud, so everytime I arrive at a new workplace, my desktop will still have tasks, jobs, notes open from the previous site, if that makes any sense.

and what the hell is a Stroopwafel??? ^^^

Another "I'm not really computer lierate"
OK I don't care, just sit there, be quiet and let me fix your problem.

Brand new around here. I see some people here I know of from elsewhere.
Currently enjoying what must one of the last few beautiful sunny days down here before winter sets in for 4 solid cold miserable months.

Having a ball with ZeroTier, this thing seems to be able to connect through anything!

Wondering who the imbecile was that convinced the world to stop placing LEDs in Num Lock and Caps Lock keys was.

It's a toss up between intermittant mouse pointer movement & not knowing if your number / caps lock is on as to which is the most annoying thing.

That person "will be the first up against the wall when the revolution comes".

sitting down after driving 1.75 hours to get parts to resurrect a 9 year old server that died last night.
server 0 - me 1.

that's it friday's done. configured 8 cisco switches and brought a 2012 hyper-v host back from the dead.
beer awaits!

sitting at the desk gazing out the window wondering how it all came to this ...

sshhhh, you'll wake them.

@travisdh1 I'm weird, actually no, i'm old school, i create a gold image on a device with all updates and apps etc, image it with macrium reflect, copy the image onto 4-6 usb hdds, and image the new devices that way.

I can usually image around 12 devices in 2 hours. Obviously I then need to go and individualise each device, but it works for me.

I do this coz I work at 9 different sites and can't always be gauranteed that I can even get bench space when working at these sites, this makes me pretty self sufficient.

I normally drop the image onto a network share somewhere and load all of them assembly line fashion, but yep.

My annoyance last night stemmed from sysprep requiring all "Microsoft Store" apps to be removed and the multiple trips between powershell and the error log to figure out what was still around that was blocking things.

Ohhhh, I understand and feel your pain.

I've been updating some HP management software on some servers and some backup software as well.

I log in post reboot to find, that Hyper-V manager doesn't display the VMs installed on the Host. The VMs are there and working, you just can't see them.

I've had this problem before once, it's a bugger of a thing to fix from memory.
