      I'm not sure what everyone else has done with their day so far, but I've programmed two printers.

        Trying out the free avast business cloud antivirus.

        How many users is it free for?

        Says unlimited. https://www.avast.com/en-us/avast-for-business

        It looks really nice so far. Centrally managed and free.

        What is the business model there? They must need to monetize this somehow, right? This looks a bit too good to be true.

        I've been running this for a few months now in a limited deployment and had a phone meeting with an Avast sales rep yesterday.

        He mentioned offhandedly that whether or not we pay them, Avast is happy to have us as a customer - we're either paying them for extra features, or helping to grow their network of protected computers and adding to the "herd immunity" in a sense.

        So I think the free offering could work out very well for them if it works the way they think it will - a combo of "foot in the door" sales strategy, along with being able to rapidly grow out a number of endpoints that they can learn from and adapt their business AV for.

        They also have a 50% discount for qualified nonprofits that sign up for a year or more (I think that was the deal)... The difference between free and $1/endpoint is a lot more justifiable than going to some $50/endpoint solution like MBAM.

          In my head I'm picturing the meeting that codified the design for the MSN home page.

          "Hey, lets make it really quick to load!"
          "Good idea! Let's add a weather widget!"
          "Awesome! Let's add the current news!"
          "Don't forget we need some blog spam!"
          "Oh and advertising too!"
          ...
          "sooo, about that quick to load thing..."

            @johnhooks post a review, I'm curious about all these light client AV's like webroot

            Webroot kicks the sh*t out of the free Avast biz client (which is not exactly lightweight). I only use the avast here for a few random machines that don't deserve to use a Webroot license. Avast works in a pinch.... that's about all I'll give it.

              Unbelievable - #fitnessproblems

              We have 10 staff flying out of town tomorrow and I need to ship a laptop with them. They're all riding bikes to the airport (~40-50km) and can't fit it in.

              Then no laptops for them. Go in a damn car like normal people instead of being a {long string of expletives} traffic problem. "Share the Road" = break ALL traffic laws then get pissy when someone blows the horn at you. Don't forget to act like an entitled a$$hole.

                @RojoLoco lol - I feel ya

                Considering where I work I can't say anything except the fitness levels of fellow staff far and away exceed "fit" and they won't be an obstacle.

                  Just found a security hole on our website after browsing it, which was prompted by @RojoLoco

                  Sigh.

                      @RojoLoco Careful, we have those in abundance! You may not want one on your car though you'd get some high-fives up here if you visit.

                      www.csipacific.ca - link to our site because I've already sent off the fix to the webdev team.

                          Sounds like fun.
                          Last data center I did that in was,... with the state about 20 years ago... oh all the Coax cable that was there...

                                  Fired up no problem, and now it is dead as I have no idea where the power cord is for it.

                                      No, no food yet today. But the wife just left to go run errands and do shopping and should, in theory, be bringing back food with her when she is done.

                                        Every place that we are scheduled to be living in for the next year and a half either just had an earthquake or is bracing for tsunami impact right now.

                                          I gather you don't cook much, eh?

                                            I don't cook at all. Food has to be easy. I only bother to go out to get food if my kids request it.
