What Are You Doing Right Now
-
Waiting for the kids to finish their Japanese work so I can get them in the shower before dinner.
Need to get the daddy duties done so I can go meet @Dashrender and his wife for dinner.

That's so awesome. Last time I talked to him he was saying that he was working on it and planning to get it going but it wasn't so close to production.

So he hired an intern and the kid has been there for 3 weeks. The guy is complaining because the kid isn't learning:
The work ethic seems to be OK, but he just isn't learning anything. He has no idea how to go about solving a problem; the practice eludes him. We had him do a "test" before he hired on and he did a decent job, but I later found out it was a conglomeration of code from the Internet and other homework projects. That in itself is not a problem, I have no issue with that, I have an issue because he has no idea what the code means or what it's supposed to do.
It sounds exactly like he can solve a problem, just not the way the guy wanted him to.

Our last package of AA batteries was all dead in the package. Gotta head to the store to get more. Argh.

Am I the only one, or does it seem weird when people sign their name at the bottom of their posts on SW?

It's super strange. And that's where the "Thanks, AJ" joke came from.

I swear, people just say things without having any idea of what they are talking about. Multiple people saying Hyper-V on a desktop is a type 2 while on the server it's a type 1.

And someone saying that VMware Workstatin isn't a hypervisor at all.
-
That is quite a few people who...
- Work on windows primarily
- Don't know Microsoft products
- Don't know virtualization
- Have missed years and years of continuous SW threads explaining this
- Are unaware of MS documentation and certification information
Why is it that it is always the Windows admins who fall for the myths around Windows? It seems that the more you use Windows, the less you are likely to know about it.

And this thread where people are regularly confusing "subscription" with "cloud". Do people have this same issue with cell phones, magazines, newspapers, water, sewer, trash pickup and other things that you pay for monthly? Do we suddenly think that our sewage is handled "in the cloud" because we pay monthly for it? How do people work in IT and think things like this?

In their defense, they call it Adobe Creative Cloud. But anyone with half a brain should figure out it's just a subscription haha.

That thread is a great example of how there is zero tolerance for IT people misusing terms to "sound cool" or whatever. Everyone is talking about unrelated things and referencing each other pointlessly.

So since I've never had the privilege of using VMware, from your one comment, do you not get console access to the VMs?

No a LOCAL console, no. Same with Xen. Hyper-V will give you a local console (hook up a monitor to the VGA output and sit at it like a normal workstation.)
Xen and VMware make you use a remote console through a tool like XenCenter, XO or vCenter.

Oooh, ok. I got ya.

And this:
Exactly, it's both and they are different versions...gets pretty confusing for people new to it! The old MSP I worked at would install Server 2012 as a physical server THEN run install/configure/run the actual production OS for the client company in Hyper-V inside the damn physical server's OS. So stupid!! Someone either didn't know how to config type-1 Hyper-V or was afraid of losing RM of it.
Hopefully their manager isn't reading that comment.
