@scottalanmiller Currently in Amherst. Grew up in Kenmore, lived in Lockport and North Tonawanda before "rooting" where I am now. While I've left and "visited" other areas still always came back.

Thats why I stay here. I'm in Buffalo, but only 20 min away from cow country

Oh Boy.. you found Totes McGoat. What an embarrassment for thos of us from Buffalo area. I think someone ran out of time and quickly needed an "idea"

@scottalanmiller Passed through Buffalo about an hour ago. lights flickered, UPS tripped for a moment and then all back to normal.

Going to the Cleveland Zoo Sat. Wonderful 4 hour drive with 2 kids under 3. Visiting cousins Sat and Sunday before another wonderful 4 hour drive back again with 2 kids under 3.

@travisdh1 Park would be great but forecast is for Thunderstorms. So probably BounceMagic for the older one, not sure about the little man yet

I found this in one of my old email to a college, I think this is what I did then had to re-convert the system after I did it

I had something similar where I P2V a Dell server first to VmWare, then over to HyperV. Worked on VmWare, but Hyperv gave the STOP error. If I remember correctly the dell PERC driver was still installed on the 2003 box, and after the second conversion I had to hop in there and get rid of it, then tweak the boot.ini. I wish I could remember the exact way I did it.

Endulging in my other hobby as I get to "play" on Sunday and do a little amateur radio. Rest of the weekend is keeping the kids away from what will be freshly painted walls

My Condolences to our Canadian friends and hokey fans everywhere as I hear a National Treasure has passed. Hockey Hall of Famer Gordie Howe died this morning in Ohio, CBS News confirms http://cbsn.ws/1WIdMqa

Same here. Tons of foreign students attending not just UB but many of the smaller private colleges in WNY. $$ talks

There be some pretty servers! That @BradfromxByte is top notch

In a similar situation. We've used APC for 1500VA or less, and Liebert/Emerson for 3000 for the last couple years but looking at Eatons and Tripp-Lites this time around as APC pricing seems to be a bit higher. Liebert pricing is very high all of a sudden.

Well if I start now, I might actually get done when they come back, because of course if I'm posting on here is any cleaning really getting done?

Wife left. Took the kids. House is MINE till Monday! First order of business...clean!

Wish I had seen these before. Class today and tomorrow here and I'm stuck at work.
(Bangs head against wall till passes out)

I have a set of Insignia wireless speakers (Best Buy house brand as well) and agree with @MattSpeller they are horrible. Not much power which for regular viewing is OK but in a movie situation where we have the volume up a bit, yeah not good. SO this weekend got permission to run wire and drill very small ("i better not see them") wires for the surrounds. Fortunate for me I can go in the basement and its a straight shot don't have to go through any joists.

So, wife and kids are going away this weekend. House is MINE for a whole 2 days. What should I do? Landscaping? Geek Projects? Decisions Decisions...

Might cross each other on the way back as we will be heading out for our family epic road adventure on the 26th to Roanoke VA

Did you check the client for viruses/rootkits? Had a similar issue where I was getting a public IP return when querying an internal DNS name; turns out the PC had a DNS hijack virus/rootkit on it returning all sort of odd results.
