Classic role playing game from around 1985. Came out on systems like the Commodore 64, Amiga 1000, and Apple ][. It was a landmark game in its day and is considered one of the foundations of modern RPG gaming. And because it was on the C64, we figured out ways to cheat the system by flipping the 5.25" floppies we were saving things to. Made some ultra powerful characters. Oh neat, never had that. I played it on the Amiga with the 3.5" drives.

@thilina said in I can't even: @jaredbusch Thank you for noticing this. This is a disgraceful mistake which has been overlooked. Just fixed this, will be available in next release from https://github.com/gamonoid/icehrm Looks like a good product, but as the only piece required for my client is Leave management, I will not be using it.

@dustinb3403 Sure, let me just get some rainbow unicorn farts sent their way and everything will be good.....

@BRRABill it's been a full year since hte last follow up on this thread. How about an update after another year of use?

@scottalanmiller said in Home business ideas for transition out of 9-5?: @dashrender said in Home business ideas for transition out of 9-5?: @scottalanmiller said in Home business ideas for transition out of 9-5?: @guyinpv said in Home business ideas for transition out of 9-5?: And do you realize that general developers can be found on Craigslist for $10/hr? You can definitely penny-pinch in this game if you wanted! You really can't. Someone listing themselves as a developer and being one isn't the same. I work in development (not as a developer) and hiring at $100K salary in low cost areas is a struggle. Real developers with skills and some experience are in super high demand. Logically, no one is offering $10/hr on Craigslist when there are $100K positions with benefits that can't even get reasonable interviews. Development is definitely anything but a penny pinching game. Sure, developers struggle to compete with offshore work. But to get any quality offshore work you can't pay by the hour, you are hiring for years on salary. You can get lower hourly rates that way, but you can't do it hour to hour. The key here is to find the people not looking at the 10/hr people on Craigslist. Sure there are SMBs that do that - and likely end up spending tons more paying someone else down the road to fix what the cheap people broke/couldn't do - but you don't want to deal with those customer anyway. Yup, people who are looking there aren't really looking for anything serious. And those aren't recurring. It's a one shot deal for basically no money. Those customers aren't getting any real work done, either. /cough fiverr.com /cough

Since I finally have a desk job: here's my set up. Nothing to fancy. But it works

The new "test out" feature is great. I'm really liking that. And in Spanish that added like fifty new categories of things! So much more content now.

IT is always the last to know.

Well... plug-in downloaded source, compiled, installed and activated. In "Setting/Plugins" I can see now the "backup-reports" and "transport-email" plugins. I made some simple test with "Backup Jobs" and all seems ok. Thanks guys.

@Dashrender said in Domain Controller Down (VM): perhaps the discussion of HA should always be left at the door unless the OP specifically says something to the effect of - this was supposed to be an HA solution, why is it not - Perhaps. Often someone says something that leads us to believe that there might have been a reason for HA. But this is a case where just nothing suggests it. Not even the lack of panic or concern once things were down. They really seemed to have no care that things were down - which is fine, their design suggests that. In this case, with @wirestyle22 not having been there, he too would have to decide how the system should be viewed. But he needs the information to take back to management "Oh, you thought that this would be HA? THat's odd as it is designed exactly the opposite of that in every way and all of the policies and procedures go against that as well. How were you expecting HA without HA processes, staffing, technology, design or setup? What led you to believe something so contrary would achieve HA?"

@StuartJordan said in Backup File Server to DAS: Wow what a thread, took me a while to read through it We don't fool around around here!

@Dashrender said in Web Application VS Windows Application: Right, the whole point of this thread is basically apps that platform independent. Apps that will run in an HTML5 browser At least as their interface. The entire app doesn't have to be there.

@dashrender Awesome!

@fiyafly I've started JBP's 12 Rules. The intro was so in-depth that I'm still ruminating on it. He's an accomplished professional and his work shows it.

@guyinpv said in Why Do People Still Text: @Dashrender said in Why Do People Still Text: Exactly - getting people to use something new is challenging at best, impossible at worst. My mom only calls, texting would blow her mind (and make my phone explode, so I'll never teach her). I had the opposite. If she called I would be stuck for 45 minutes and my ear would have 1st degree burns. She learned how to text and then I can casually deal with her over time. The only problem, she texted small books and autocorrect ruined everything. I have that problem too. She calls, there's an hour gone. Though the idea that texting gets rid of 'dealing with it right now' issue, at least for some. Personally email is the ultimate form of "it can wait." A phone call is an indication that something needs to be handled right now, a text is somewhere in the middle. I guess one good thing, my kids will never post complaining about how their father called and wasted their time - oh wait... I don't have kids While I appreciate Scott's take that trying to contact him via a single device connection (phone calls or SMS) aren't good for him since he doesn't carry his phone always - the idea that email is somehow instant access to him is something I can't grasp. I'll be extreme here - if Scott's father was in an accident - does he want an email about that? or does he want a phone call about that? I suppose a message on any number of messaging platforms (other than SMS) would be nearly as good as a phone call, but then as I write that, if the device he is on can get messaging, it can probably get email - and I have to ask... are all of his devices constantly chiming whenever an email is delivered?
