Wow, Oracle sucks. It requires you to have a user called "oracle" (which is fine) but it also requires a separate group to be the primary GID. So rather than just using a secondary group like everything else, you now have to have a secondary group that is the primary group. And apparently you have to install it with a GUI. Ridiculous.
Yup, having used Oracle a lot in the "enterprise", it was never considered to be a very serious product. It's a bit of a joke.
Ya luckily never really had to deal with it before this. For the price it should install RHEL on a hypervisor and configure itself in the VM and make me coffee while I wait.

Trying to convince an engineer buddy of mine to mix 1 song for us before the EP is done (we have him booked for 2-3 months from now to mix the whole thing, but we want to see how it's going to sound asap, in case we need to tweak the arrangements or recording setup). I've known the guy since I was about 13-14, so hopefully he will squeeze us in.
@art_of_shred do you know any good engineers that could possibly mix/master a small project for a reasonable price?
I know a number of local studio guys. I'm not sure who does mastering these days. When I was more involved with studios we sent tracks out to mastering houses still! I can ask around, though.

Learning how to configure an FTP site in IIS to create documentation for how to rebuild production items should the world end.

I feel for you... IIS isn't the most friendly webserver.

@DustinB3403 To date, I haven't had to configure any kind of web server, so as annoying as it is, it's an opportunity for me. Especially since if everything blows up eyes now come to me to get everything running again

This post is deleted! -
@DustinB3403 Actually annoying isn't the right word. Challenging would be better.

I should also add to this to what I'm doing:

Why still the need for FTP instead of something that at least pretends to have a little bit of security?

Like SFTP?

Customer compatibility. Our customers are not smart enough to deal with anything else. They can barely use FTP, but they routinely send us large DBs (100gb+), which would cost a ton if we used dropbox or whatever. So FTP it is for us.

You could set up a Secure FTP server in as little as 10 minutes on your hypervisor. Just download the CentOS ISO and go.
