We take privacy very seriously.

Wish more amaericans did.

Stress seriously, not the tin foil hat types like @travisdh1

At least I own it. Anyone else want one? I'll share.

I'll take one.

I'm too much of a free-thinker to not realize that a sizeable portion of "conspiracy theories" are at least connected to truth. If I'm going to pick one side and go with it, I'll err on the side of caution.

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.

Why have a title of IT Manager or Director of IT and not have the power to sign something that will cost us $293.28?

LOL because titles in SMBs are fake or made up to make people feel good.

Can I have a better title then???

I called myself Director of IT for about 2 years here. But after talking to Scott, etc, I ditched that and just call myself the IT admin - IT generalist is confusing to normals and always requires an explanation, but IT admin, oh your the person in charge of IT there, got it.. end of discussion.

I think my actual title still has the word "assistant" in it... even though I'm the whole department. I don't assist anyone. I'd be happy with any version of "admin".

Or.... you assist everyone.

That is possible... but I'm not an "assistant" to any IT person. I "help" users.

Yeah, so you can sound like a lowly assistant, or go with my suggestion and be the master of your domain.
(That could work on so many levels...)

Can I be HBAMFICOIT? (Head bada$$ mafk in charge of IT)

If you're gonna go that far - you might as well go HNICoIT

Or just the SLJoIT

Happy birthday @scottalanmiller ! So what are you now, like 50 or so?

Yep, meant punny, I blame Chrome for not having punny in it's dictionary.... I completely rely on the computers in my life to correct my spelling.

It's cool @JaredBusch relies on Siri to not make him look like a complete ass.

Well, at least it gives him something to blame for it...

To be honest, I'm rebuilding what a person before me did (figuring how they build it) to make sure if stuff blows up, then I can rebuild it blame him. Maybe, one day, when I'm no longer a n00b, I'll post the documentation ;). FTFY

@art_of_shred said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

I've recently seen a bit of this company around, as they make guitar and bass amps. Should they be referred to as "FAT" or "Fuchs"? I haven't seen any of their products in any sweepstakes or giveaways thus far, so I'm pretty sure you have to pay for their stuff if you want any, since there seem to have been literally zero Fuchs given at this point. But, I digress...

You posted this just so you could use the last sentence and not get modded, ha ha.

I was literally looking at a music supply store ad and saw the full name for the first time. I had heard of Fuchs amps, but didn't see that the full name would be abbreviated FAT. If it weren't for it being a dude's last name, I would completely think that was done on purpose. It may have been anyway.

@art_of_shred looks like Dave Lombardo is their current drummer. That'll do.

I guess Slayer isn't touring right now?

Looks that way. Suicidal is supposed to be back here late April as well, maybe Slayer isn't touring this year at all?

Oh, he left Slayer again and is full-time with S.T. since last February (and we have the same birthday).

Not a Ford fan, eh? When it comes to trucks, I have no such loyalties.

Nope, not a Ford fan, but I have to admit they do build a decent truck.
EDIT: ...that is, with the exception of the bright idea of using aluminum bodies.

So, just found out my lab Dell 2950 server wont support Hyper-V 2016 because it doesn't' have SLAT processors:
"Hyper-V in the vNext version of Windows Server will only work on processors with (SLAT) Secondary Level Address Translation which is also known as (EPT) Extended Page Table for Intel processors. If you have older servers with processors that do not support SLAT, you will need to use Windows Server 2012 R2. This version of Hyper-V does not require SLAT support in the processor."
http://www.nodefinity.net/post/hyper-v-on-poweredge-2900-2950-the-end-of-the-road-is-windows-server-2012-r2

Had the same issue with the ML370 G5's that I got. Luckily with a bios update it will support it but will have to buy new procs, but the heat it puts off for my home is nuts.

I bet it's great during the winter! lol.

Not so much in Dallas

I have switched back and forth from heater to AC in the last few weeks multiple times.
Texas has turrets.

If you don't like the weather, then wait 5 minutes. It will change.

That's a Rochester NY statement as well.

I think it's a sentiment pretty much everywhere. People who don't travel much think it's just like that where they live. People who do travel hear it all the time, pretty much everywhere they travel (within the US). I haven't come across it much outside the US, though.

The future is here.... and it looks like shit.

So what's the point of headlights and tail lights if no one is driving it?
Oh, and stop pushing your tree-hugger crap on me. A garden in the car? Really? Disgusting. They could have put a cooler or more storage there.

@momurda said in Non-IT News Thread:

@art_of_shred Headlights and taillights are more important to make sure others see you, not so the driver can see. Seeing as a driver with no lights on is easy. Other people cant see you though which is bad

I guess my mind jumped ahead to a system where this was all of the vehicles, and not just an addition to the current ecosystem. If all cars are automated, and roads are set up for them, then some indicator lights make sense, but white lights in the front and red brake lights in the back are kind of unnecessary.

Daylight Savings is stupid

It's stupid when I lose an hour but great when I gain an hour

I was very much in favor of eliminating DST until I realized that's the part that I like best. It's non-DST that I dislike. I say let's stay at DST all year and let it stay light out later all the time!

When we lived in Central Africa, I almost stepped on a Green Mamba, killed an Emperor Scorpion with some diesel fuel, got stung by a couple hundred bees...

I can handle pictures of creepy-crawlies. LOL
