Trains are for those with nothing else to do...

Actually, quite the opposite. On the train you have Internet, power and plenty of space. You can be very productive on trains and they let you rest or sleep, which is a big deal, especially if you've just been flying a long way and might have jet lag or no chance to sleep. Driving completely takes your attention and requires that you be able to control your sleep schedule before and after.

I'm not sure if i need to open a new topic for this! As i might come back seeking more advice to fine tune the trip, as its my first time to the US.

We are still thinking about the train/drive. One thing is it would be our first longest flight trip ever (between 17 to 23 hours, depends on the flight i choose).
I plan to start from here on July 22nd so we get some time before MangoCon and leave back to the UAE on 5th Aug. So we are thinking of few options:

Reach JFK on 22nd or 23rd depending on the flight and either stay in NY on 23rd and 24th and leave for ROC by 25th. Not sure if we get to see some good views on the train or the drive. I still need to research on the routes. If we rest well, a drive is an option and we can stop over some places and rest if needed.

Another option we are thinking of. to reach JFK and same day travel to ROC and since we had this long trip i would prefer the train mostly here.

My wife is thrilled to do the drive instead!

If we go directly to ROC, spend some time to go around nearby places then attend Mcon2017 and then back to NY, spend remaining days there and back to Dubai.

Found an easy installer with bitnami- https://bitnami.com/stack/gitlab

Installed, up and running in 5 minutes!

But I still want to configure it from scratch manually. If I could successfully complete this, will post a how-to!

Seems like some nice options.

Another addition that I've been checking to replace Freshbooks to have it self hosted- https://www.fusioninvoice.com/

Personally I like crash plan too. This for my clients who wants to use s3, for windows I've used cloudberry and I love the software for the interface and options to connect to different things like S3, glacier etc. and glad that they released one for Mac as well.

Anyways, I will proceed with the plan. I really want to meet you guys and attend this!

Please let me know your suggestions on the plan above please.

@StrongBad I like it, but I am still a fan of Amazon web services!

So I just moved from a MAC to Windows laptop for work (due to the new work nature on SharePoint and more windows environments and testing), and in search of different tools to work more efficiently. I used to have a download manager long time back and thought of installing one again on this machine. During my search, one forum post said "just put this on FF and it will take care" Out of curiosity, I downloaded Zorin OS using both Chrome and FF and the result was surprising. (No additional download managers on both browsers)

Seems like somehow FF boosts the download speed. Both using the same link to download and I started downloading via FF only after the download started in Chrome for sometime! FF already finished the download and chrome is still downloading it!

Thanks!

Now need to figure out the hotel in NY somewhere as our return is also from JFK (to see nearby places) and which hotel in ROC. Also would be great if you can suggest good rental car companies.

This day/night is getting better!

Got a new project that needs to be done in 2 weeks. 3 tier SP 2013 setup with redundancy! More testing and learning, the fun continues..

Not sure if this will be used a lot, but connecting with outlook might be a good idea!

Sometimes you just need to send a quick, short note to your co-worker. Of course, you can use Outlook for this, but today we’re launching a new app through the Microsoft Garage that is built specifically for those brief, snappy communications—Send, designed for in-and-out email.

Oh! Hope its reservation over phone but pay when i reach then!

Regarding my days after mangocon, i found this!

Yes, idea is to be in ROC till 29th and then back to NY to be there from 30-6th

Nice, this would be really helpful for others like us who haven't thought about such a solution, jump box with 2 step authentication- Nice!
