Hopefully getting our shower fixed tonight... it has been weeping at the threshold for a few weeks, no damage just noticeable.

My wife is none too happy... but it should be easily fixed just need someone who knows what they are doing to do it. Tiling isn't something I regularly work with so I try not to touch it if I can.

Attending this in a minute...

Wow, talk about a poor webinar. It's a small business audience, the vendor expert is talking about Fortune 500 solutions that no SMB could afford. The "community expert" that they have talking about implementation is so clueless about how "servers work" that he doesn't realize that your servers are supported as a single unit and he thinks that you have to get Western Digital to support your drives, LSI to support your RAID controller, etc. Um, why are the "experts" always people lacking even intern level experience. Argh. So useless.

-
@scottalanmiller I was sad I couldn't attend that one until now

Exposing my spouse to the world of Linux with Linux Mint.... The computer at her office is a slug on the OS,.. can't really do anything on the internet,... so this was a simple way to not affect the computer (no ours) and allow her the freedom of surfing.
You should get her to join here and provide a review from her perspective!
In this case, while the PC booted into LM, it would not find the Linksys USB wifi adapter...
It was then that we both thought of her just taking her practically new Dell laptop with her to use....little late now.

Off to bake apple pies, pumpkin pies and some pumpkin bread. Family is coming here for our thanksgiving celebration tomorrow afternoon.

This is ridiculous. It is two sales guys just talking about all the things that they want to sell, one clueless end user who just graduated from college (and shows why college students tend to be so awful) and an MC that is just asking marketing questions.

Sure, for two VMs
-
Oh... there it is, they said VDI. OMG, lol.

@scottalanmiller did you miss that 10+ mins ago?
-
It stalls a lot here, they are determined to push full video to me so it constantly freezes up and just waits till the stream catches up. So instead of getting real time I am getting it delayed.
-
@scottalanmiller Awww... yeah i've stopped listening.. they aren't talking to me.. I don't have 100K in hardware period..
-
HA HA HA. They just said $100K PER YEAR for their product is "cheap" for the SMB. $300K - $400K purchase price is what this panel thinks makes sense for the "smallest" companies.
-
They also said that SMBs should spend 5% of their budget on IT and said that that means that $100K is easy for them to spend on this product.... um... so zero dollars for desktops, OS licenses, storage, IT staff, applications, etc.
Talk about not getting it.
And their "expert" that they have promoting it just said that you should spend on this instead of hiring IT people.
-
They really need to turn off the video and just send the audio. There is literally nothing to look at, it is just talking heads, but I cannot disable it so the bandwidth needs are huge and the audio stops every few seconds. If they send just audio, I could just keep listening.
