Yeah I only missed one day of work.
If you can, schedule for a Friday, then you'll be fine by monday.
Heck no. Schedule Monday so that you can enjoy your weekend.
in that case, let's assume if he's in to much pain, he can get tuesday off if needed.

That's what she gets for taking my iPad!

Roommate is home, they are sending people home from work due to the snow.

My daughter just came and told me that she wants an HTC Vive.

HTC Vive
Only if everyone at MangoCon gets to test it before she does!

Rep for VTech on SW just posted an article on SIP as if VTech had just discovered VoIP and had no idea that it existed and the article acts like everyone doesn't already know about VOIP. It's insane. SIP is 21 years old! And VTech acts like there are alternatives, like PRI. Ha, almost all PRI is secretly delivered over SIP. VTech seriously missed the boat here.

I feel like 80% of IT work is just "correcting crazy assumptions and unfounded leaps in logic." It constantly amazes me how often this is all that needs to be done. I think IT is so much easier than people think that it is because they are using flawed thinking that leads to crazy assumptions and then, of course, things are really hard or confusing. Sure, you still need to know things, but so many fewer things. Thread after thread today (elsewhere) where the ENTIRE thread is nothing other than an initial post of nothing but incorrect assumptions and then a huge thread of people either confused because they don't know what those assumptions were or figuring out the assumptions and trying to show somewhere where their logic doesn't work.

Some examples....
- SPOF is all I have to worry about for reliability, no need to look at reliability.
- The term SDS means highly reliable and multiple nodes, or redundancy of some sort.
- Backups don't need to be different things than the originals.
- I can use this SAN thing I've heard about for file shares.
- Red Pro drives are safe and Red drives are not (hint: identical).
- RAID ideas that are horrific are good when brand names are slapped onto them.
- Redundancy is magic at some levels and useless at others.
- Mention a storage concept and everyone will automatically know that I specifically mean a specific instance of it (e.g. is it safe to put backups on a NAS. Oh I thought you all knew that I mean the NAS that the original files were on.)
It's really consistent. For some reason in IT, not only do technical assumptions get awry, but basic English seems to be a huge challenge regularly.

Oh and this one all the time... my servers don't meet my needs, obviously this means I need a SAN instead of fixing my servers. WTH
