Fighting with turning Autocad 2015 into a Remote App... The 90's called and want their hard coded paths in the registry back... Ugh.
The one ERP system we have (it was written in FoxPro......) is hard coded to map to the V drive. Even if you map it to something else and tell the program in the options that it's under the other drive letter and the dialog box accepts it, it still won't work.
Yepp. That sounds like what I'm waging war against... Except in the Windows Registry... Basically they used hard coded paths to files instead of %userprofile% .... So when user1 logs in, it sets up and configures and works fine. However, it freaks out when user2 logs in because It can't access User1's files.

"Gold" images on the server, now to deploy to the test machines ready for the morning

Found some sage tea in the cupboard, totally trying that out now.

At client site today. I really need to plan this better. I could have taken @coliver out for lunch or something today...

What is it with people being unable to identify databases?
One guy today runs MS SQL Server but asked "I've hit the 10GB limit on MySQL, what do I do now." Took a while to figure out he had confused MySQL and MS SQL Server.
Another one just now, someone asks about SQLite reporting and posts the question to the MySQL group on the forum.
It's like posting a Windows question in a Linux group and wondering why people are confused. Clearly both of these people know exactly what they are running because they use the right terms one time, then randomly confuse it with a completely different product.
In the one case, the person had never even used MySQL before so mixing up something he uses daily with something he has never used seems, odd.

@scottalanmiller it would help if the products were named in a way that would help to differentiate them more easily but yeah, 100% agree with your frustration.

Maybe, but, um, these are HUGE industry products and the names do give a bit of it away. I totally agree that MySQL is a horrible name, but seriously, we are talking about the world's most popular database, people HAVE heard of it.
So while the names are bad, there is no way to confuse them...
MS SQL Server - it says Microsoft right in the name.
MySQL - Ambiguous, but the other two are not.
SQLite - Clearly the one option that is different. The other two are RDBMS, SQLite is not. It's not even the same kind of product!!
-
I'm having issues with PostgreSQL. I can't access the database from IBM Data Studio and my APEX web app can't see it either. Maybe I need to restart the Jet engine?
The last one was for @JaredBusch, his favorite relational database.
-
Yes, MongoDB is quite fast.
-
Accumulating quite the headache. Got most of our domain talking again, just one site left that's broken.
Ugh.

Wondering why Meraki Systems Manager MDM (Free) has screwed me a second time. Why did it just update the iOS-specific profiles, including the ActiveSync profile on all my iOS devices, wiping out the ActiveSync settings and all contacts mail and calendar items??? Seriously, Meraki, WTF?!

My four year old is a tough negotiator. She just talked her mom into a 20% increase in her Pringles allowance. She now gets six Pringles with her yoghurt, not just five. Good thing that she stuck to her guns.

Pringles...and Yoghurt...?! What weird combination is that?!
-
Not mixed. Just in the same time frame.
Basically she wants chips and needs something healthier. Yoghurt was the healthy part to justify having a few chips.

Phew!
Like, I know American's eat weird stuff...but that was taking things TOO far...
Yeah that makes sense...

About to unleash my Google Fu to find a power bank and cable to power my TP-Link extender for my Drone.

If you glue a link extender to the drone, can it fly for forever?
