What Are You Doing Right Now

Wondering how I could start a Canadian version of xByte. It would be the perfect business for a hardware obsessed nutter like me.

Took my civil service test this morning
What are you looking to do?
I took it to be able to apply for some IT positions. However after seeing the questions I'm concerned about what I would be getting into. This was for PA.
IT jobs that require a civil service exam would worry me. I've never heard of someone being happy with one of those.

Is the week done yet? I am so tired today...... not a bad day just tired. I need a nap.

Driving home from Minneapolis.

Finally getting around to testing HyperV with a Windows 10 laptop. Tried Fedora 23 but apparently my download was correct. Foiled again!! Have a Mint 17.2 ISO ready, so trying that.
-
I've been dealing with CentOS 7 since this morning in an md10xs solution on a trial box.
Loads the drives, pretends to start up and then just a blank screen with a static cursor.

I temporarily don't haz the dumm. Boss brought in lunch for everybody a little bit ago... I'm actually feeling pretty good. It was Brunswick stew that he made. It was really good!
-
Installing Office 2013 from a VM to an employee who's connected to the company VPN about 6 hours away, using PDQ Deploy for all of the "heavy lifting".
But I'm connected to his machine via another VM running TeamViewer.... hahaha the circles... so much fun...

Considering the test had questions about Token Rings and frequency modulation I am inclined to agree haha.

Ding ding ding. If the people creating the test are this out of touch, imagine what the staff that you would be working with would likely be like!!

That would be the most unenjoyable silence you can get.

@Dashrender True, ha ha ha.
In the mean time, I'm going to go hide in PowerShell for a couple of hours until time to go home. If anybody needs me, I'll be looking for my token in the ethernet.

When I worked for IBM they were actually on Token Ring, and not even the modern stuff with RJ45 connectors. So embarrassing.

My first network was the 75 ohm coax cable that was ethernet... but it was the 10meg stuff that had the 10-base T connectors and always had to have the computers at both ends with the caps on that completed the circuit.
The first network I ever touched, was for my highschool. We pulled out the old 10-base T stuff, and put in shiney new Cat 5. (this was in 1997).
