@wrcombs Yeah cold brew is good. I had one yesterday
I had a cold brew at Breakfast Republic last weekend. It was good, but it's still nothing like the coffee we make in the french press. That thing makes it so rich and flavourful.

Helps to ensure our jobs, though.

Some of my experiences made me question the value of said job...

First time trying it out, although it is from the local QuikTrip, It isnt as bad as i thought it would have been.
If you can find the Stok brand of cold brew (check the grocery store), it's actually quite good. My recipe is better and way more caffeinated, so I definitely suggest making your own.
I can actually focus on work today, It usually takes 3-4 cups of coffee to get me this far, and all ihave had is one cup, no heads per usual.. not bad.

More printer issues this morning.

On train home after a positive visit to a Scale customer.
Think my colleagues are seeing the benefits now instead of Nimble and NetApp

Positive in what way? (Not that I'm saying expect bad things, just asking for more details).

@dustinb3403 that scale aren't a "two men in a shed" operation and people are using it for production SQL environments. Also how easy the whole setup is and operation and really showing them we don't need a SAN full stop. As there is technology out there that will do the same job, cheaper (and maybe better lol )
-
@hobbit666 so positive in every way that has been stated time and again across multiple platforms, and just now your coworkers are willing to see rather than listen.
Sometimes to get the horse to drink you have to try and drown it.

One thing to bear in mind is that if you need to get into the CLI and tinker around with things you really can't (or couldn't last time I worked with it). It is an appliance, and even though it is running KVM under the hood you cannot talk directly to KVM, but only through their UI or APIs. Not necessarily a negative, but a potential limitation especially if you're running a mixed hypervisor environment.

Applying Windows updates to VMware templates.

I'm stealing this.

GF just landed safely in San Diego. Much deserved vacation for her and her whole family (kids, grandparents, all of them are there).
-
Follow ups and Closing tickets this afternoon .
-
@kelly that's what scale care is for. We can concentrate on running and sorting the VM's out. If we have an issue scale are on hand to look "under the hood"

Wondering why this Dell SMB rep took it upon himself (without asking) to use my reward dollars to send me a monitor I don't want or need. He did it a month ago and sent me a printer. I am sending this one back and demanding a refund.

Keep it and demand a refund. Unsolicited items showing up at your location are gifts. Escalate the call above them and get your credits back, while keeping the shiny, new, free monitor that they're obviously sending out as a promotional item.

"Oh you guys wanted me to test this monitor out without any pre-existing conditions; Sweet!"
