I seem to just hit a brick wall for energy around 3:30-4. Always try to think of ways I can still be productive during this time, but when it hits, it's almost like your mind is blank, and you can't think a thought even when you try lol.

Here is additional information we were given. A packet capture on their end of the SIP headers:

As Scott said, note the rport value. It sticks out because it's a lower number, but it is random. Let me know if I'm looking at this right if you guys can.

@Tim_G Nice catch. Tagged. Thanks!

Yep. Core issue was the handling of those two data types. After setting the data types as strings on any compare or entry, works perfectly.
Thanks!

PS Admin>$element.gettype()

IsPublic IsSerial Name                                     BaseType

PS Admin>$logError.gettype()

True     False    MatchInfo                                System.Object

AH. May be getting at least somewhere:

PS Admin>($logError -as [string]).contains($element.UNIQUEID -as [string])
True

I can at least get something to work with this, however is there a better way? I am pretty sure they are both arrays, and am looking for how to check that for sure right now

PS Admin>$IsThereAnError = ($logError -as [string]).Contains($element)
PS Admin>$IsThereAnError
False

PS Admin>$IsThereAnError = $logError.Contains($element)

Method invocation failed because [Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.MatchInfo] doesn't contain a method named 'Contains'.
At line:1 char:37

• $IsThereAnError = $logError.Contains <<<< ($element)
  • CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (Contains:String) [], RuntimeException
  • FullyQualifiedErrorId : MethodNotFound

PS Admin>$IsThereAnError = $logError -Contains($element)
PS Admin>$IsThereAnError
False

had to switch the . to a -. Something also to note is this:

PS Admin>$PSVersionTable

Keep talking to management about getting some maintenance time to get this server upgraded.

I do believe $logError is a string, but I was thinking I should still be able to compare the variable in the element array to it?

I'm finding this kind of hard to explain, so I will try to make it simple using direct outputs from powershell:
The definitions of my variables

PS Admin>$logError
 2/14/2017  3:21:55 1211577 Response Timeout UniqueID 37 10  02  01  D9  00  EC Socket 0 SockId 0 FailureCount 2 of 3
PS Admin>$element

                                                                                                               UNIQUEID
                                                                                                               --------
                                                                                                                     37
PS Admin>$element.UNIQUEID
37 

So, I try to do this:

PS Admin>$logError -contains $element
False

Which really confuses me, but I think the issue lies in the way I'm pulling data into these and attempting to compare an array to a string.:

PS Admin>write-host($logError)
 2/14/2017  3:21:55 1211577 Response Timeout UniqueID 37 10  02  01  D9  00  EC Socket 0 SockId 0 FailureCount 2 of 3
PS Admin>write-output($logError)

 2/14/2017  3:21:55 1211577 Response Timeout UniqueID 37 10  02  01  D9  00  EC Socket 0 SockId 0 FailureCount 2 of 3


PS Admin>write-host($element)
System.Data.DataRow
PS Admin>write-output($element)

                                                                                                               UNIQUEID
                                                                                                               --------
                                                                                                                     37

I can give more information if needed, but my main focus is this- how do I compare the 37 to the $logError instead of it comparing the System.Data.Datarow to $logError?

$2.50/user/mo for screen sharing. That's a bit expensive when Skype is free (but doesn't work, so I get the issue.)

Works fine for me as does Google Hangouts.

Chime feels like, we're Amazon, lets make yet another product.

Depends, can you call me on it? nope, because MS has their accounts all broken. So in reality, it doesn't work for you, it just makes it feel like it works for you.

Danielle thinks it works for her, too, but people with her in their user list see her account broken and have problems contacting her and her account will semi-randomly get deleted and show up wrong with images and details from old accounts she doesn't have any more and she, too, can't get calls to work to some people.

Because the issues with Skype are account based, people often feel that it "works for them" even when they too are experiencing issues.

"People"? You mean you. No one else. Don't say Gene, because his issues are not isolated to Skype.

Yea,.. Because well - It's Gene

I think there's something deeper than just Skype on your computer, maybe even at the OS level.

Nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

@Minion-Queen said in Amazon released Chime, skype alternative:

Regular skype isn't tied into a MS account. And if you had an old account that was WAY before Microsoft owned Skype.

Actually, it is. Microsoft made me integrate accounts earlier today. It's new, maybe new as of today.

I opted to combine my accounts, but I don't think I was ever forced, and with the fact that she probably hasn't logged into that old account in years she probably will never log into it and see a prompt to move it to a windows account.

If an "only you" comes up, I think it is Danielle's account that is broken. I only have call issues when she is part of the call.

That's Danielle's account as determined by Microsoft. See if she can update that avatar. That's taken from the website just now.

What website specifically? I was just logged into her skype account from my computer, and it showed the correct picture.

Far as i can tell, that's a different account. lol
What part of the Skype Website? lol

This is what I see from my Skype account

same here

Now, if I look for the account he referenced, it's here:

But note the different Skype Name

@DustinB3403 the pain with those two is that the first one is inbound only and the second one, as you said, is paid.

However, without having looked into it heavily yet, there looks to be a way to put hylafax on freepbx. Hylafax was used on elastix natively IIRC

http://community.freepbx.org/t/installing-fax-on-freepbx-hylafax-iaxmodem/9267

@DustinB3403
On that amazon page, it states "Designed for work groups with 3–10 users". Show that to The Powers That Be. lol

Does programming count?

If not, game development.

If so, I'd have to choose between a few things. Electrical Engineering. Mechanical Engineering. mechanic, carpenter, electrician... It'd be hard to decide, really.

I spent the holidays with my brother, his girlfriend and my fiance`. My brother (Josh) lives in Brooklyn and has become essentially a judgmental vegan smoker which I've experienced a lot of any time I go visit him--people who do hard drugs but won't eat bread. While we were at my Grandma's I told her to turn on some music I thought she'd like and she did in fact enjoy it. Now Josh and his girlfriend unleash their inner Brooklyn and just destroy this music that everyone was enjoying. I was triggered by this situation which came to fruition apparently today.

Is it just me or did everyone forget that they like liking things? I have heard nothing but judgment about music, movies, TV shows, hobbies etc for so long it's almost normal to me now but it shouldn't be. In my opinion people who behave this way are attempting to be special or out of the ordinary and in reality they are exactly like everyone else around them. If you really want to standout nowadays you'll shop at the gap and listen to Dave Matthews Band.

It kind of reminds me of high school. I was friends with pretty much everyone but the coolest kids to me were the outcasts. I didn't realize until later that the reason I thought that was because they didn't give a shit about what the other kids thought and they were just being whoever it was that they were at the time. This is part of the reason I feel like I can't relate to people anymore because everyone my age acts like a complete idiot.

Can anyone relate to this or is it just me?

Ugh... hipsters.

It's not even just hipsters though it's people who have adopted their judgmental mindset too. Seems like everyone my age in NJ is like this practically. I can't stand it.

You're right. Getting into a sort of recursive logic, I've had this conversation quite a few times, what seems to have happened is that people were so constantly and consistently told it was cool to be different, that they took this as "Don't like something that someone else does" and it shows in their criticism. So they try to anti-conform to things, and what makes it funny is that this is now the standard thing to conform to- anti-conformity.

Basically they defeated their purpose by making that their purpose. But, this is just my theory based on my experience with it.

I was thinking about this this morning. Like cosplay and comic cons. It used to be for nerds or whatever. Now it is the most mainstream conformist activity in the known universe. It's the very definition of "following the crowd".

Yep. They adopt the idea of "defying societal norms" because everyone else was doing it... making it a societal norm. lol

The "correct" thing to do is very eloquently summed up in the title of a 1990 song by Digital Underground: "Doowutchyalike".

Eww. You like Digital Underground? They suck! LOL

Couldn't resist.

I was referring more to the philosophy behind that song than their musical merit.

I could get into a very extensive psychological discussion on that philosophy. lol.
