    Migrated the VMs off of this box so that I could work on it without affecting anyone else. Came in yesterday to work on it. Powered it down and installed the NIC daughter board without removing power to the system. Miraculously, it's now working as expected. 😕 👍

    As part of patient satisfaction I think we should have one. If we put it on it's own internet pipe the cost would be less than $100 a month, but we are moving soon to a new 100/20 pipe from a 10/10 pipe... so we'll have plenty of bandwidth, and with the limitations that creative mentions kinda makes it a non issue.

    we have 100/100mb pipes. But if you give a mouse a cookie... that bandwidth can be used up in no time if you let it be.

    As an one man shop I decided to use my cell as our business phone when I opened shop in 2003. The number is on all of our business info as well as online.

    Port your cell number to Google Voice or RingTo. Problem solved.

    @Dashrender you have to have Dynamic Disks to do this in Windows using MS tools.

    Sure, but you don't when using third party tools. Again, I haven't done it in 4+ years, so I don't know what Acronis can currently do.

    @thecreativeone91 Ditto, and we never replace monitors either. They seem to fail reliably at the 5yr mark in a hot dusty environment so we cycle all the oldest / crap ones through the gym & front desk locations.

    I have a client deployment in few days, a 3 tier farm, (2WFE, 2APP, 2SQL- AlwaysON) Waiting for them to share the details to start the installation. Tested on my lab and all seems to be straight forward and hope to have the same smooth setup there as well 🙂

    Well Pied Piper was a Silicon Valley joke, since their fake startup does video compression and streaming. As far as for your purposes, you'll probably just want to use one of the streaming services like Twitch.tv or Youtube (or Periscope is the hot new one that everyone is using). Then your only concern is video equipment and upload bandwidth.

    Damn Nic you're really in the know!

    I was trying to remember periscope when I read this yesterday. Never used it, but heard it was usable.

    Yeah my boss asked me about Periscope last week and then I ended up seeing a lot of celebrities using it for streams. I haven't actually had a chance to play with it at all.

    There was a lot of talk about it on Security Now and Windows Weekly a few months ago - mostly around celebs using it - but since I don't care about those narcissistic weirdos I never bothered to check it out...

    And oddly it just started working internally. I guess it just needed a bit more time. (I applied it before lunch).

    I clearly had a problem with my repos file. I deleted it and recreated it using a 'cat' method I found on another site and this time it worked fine.....

    I should have just renamed my original file to compare them to see what I did wrong when manually making the file in vi.
