One of my Black Pearl plants has started to ripen the chillies... one so far, this season looks like I will get a good harvest.
My Trinidad Scorpion has a couple of flowers, so they might be ready by April but my Habanero probably won't have anything this season as I had to trim it (growing up too fast) to promote strengthening of the main stem (lost 4 -6 flowers) but next year will be grand!If you give them a bit of phosphorus heavy fertilizer, they will be much more likely to set more flowers. Look for something labeled "bloom booster" or whatever... As long as the middle number is the highest in the N-P-K ratio.

Remove it
Or just remove the entire thing. I got so sick of how utterly crappy WordPress was that I started charging 4x (I usually charge about $110 per hour normally) my rate just for WordPress, slowly my WordPress requests began falling off and I've never been happier. Until recently where I made it clear I was accepting no new projects at all since I'm working on some other big things, I still got the occasional WP request even at such a massive rate. What a huge turd, but made some OK money, but the headaches, my god the headaches.

@siringo nadner and his green thumb lol
Definitely not a green thumb. Plants have to have a purpose for me to care for them.
My top three reasons for putting effort into plants- Provides shade
- Produces stuff to eat
- Mrs nadnerB doesn't want it to die
I don't care if it looks pretty, if it doesn't meet the criteria listed above... it's on its own.
With just a balcony to work with I am reduced to "edible or GTFO"
I grow some mean Jalapenos for a Canadian which makes me giggle every time I think about it

So windows updates strike again.
I ran this :
Open regedit.exeHKeyLocalMachine\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\system\
Add 32-bit DWORD Value: LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy with a value of 1
Terminals started connecting as soon as we add that DWORD
and site started working properly as soon as it was saved.
So the windows 7 machine got an update? cause we know the Windows XP machines weren't getting any.
Yes, For some reason it was installing a monthly roll up - causing communication issues.

Sure ^^ what he said.

an idea that came up - Use the one (s) Dash brings for work- only.
and go get me a chrome book for personal use or a barebones laptop and put Fedora or Ubuntu on to it.@scottalanmiller @DustinB3403 what do you think of that?

Sure, but why not just get 2 laptops from @Dashrender and setup one for work only and the other for personal stuff?
Which then leads into the conversation of "It really sucks to have to lug two laptops around".

I wouldn't be lugging 2 around - One for personal when im not on call, and one for work for when I am.

But you'd still have to maintain the equipment, which would be comparable to lugging two of them around.
Just get one, setup a VM on it for your work. And leave the VM off when you aren't on call.
During your on call time are you expected to sit there watching monitors for issues or do you wait for a customer call?

Customer Calls - We dont watch sites unless absolutely necessary.

So why maintain more hardware than required? Power for the battery, internet. It time to ensure things are up to date and current.
And isn't/wasn't the goal to be able to setup VM's to test issues your clients are reporting to try and resolve them in a controlled environment?
Hardware actually makes that more difficult to do on a continual basis. With a VM it's trivial to roll back to a snapshot or restore a backup.
