you could use xo for your vm backups. and veeam endpoint for your files. I do this essentially in hyper-v. Except I use altaro. I dont think altaro offers Xen support... If they did, it's tits.

when i worked for a big ole consulting firm, we would do an environment assessment as a sales tool(free) for medium business. for small business we would offer said assessment, bill an hour or two to complete the assessment, and create a report with our findings. Then they would pick/choose the things they wanted to address. Now, that i'm a lone wolf, I do not work for free....

Division is out! work and apts with the kid haven't let me dig in too much yet. but its kewl

and have you tried to print directly from a workstation to the printer? set it up local via IP and see if it works. This almost seems like a joke post? or maybe you've already started drinking?

so The Division is addictive. the PvE world is great, keeps you busy. then there's a PvE/PvP zone with some rules in place that make it very fun and stressful. gather gear from NPCs and you can hunt other players, which then puts a bounty on your head. You've got to extract gear before you get killed and lose it all.... it's just fun.

Any of you o365ers use Yammer? if so, what for? discuss

I essentially am a freelancer. I'm a 1 man business, and i'm net 30. That being said, flat fee projects are something I do, and when i'm billing a flat fee, usually there is a 1/2 upon starting the project, and 1/2 when deliverables are.... delivered. i've only had a few clients not pay up within their 30 day window.... which for a small guy like myself is not fun.

Now, this situation you're saddled with seems to not be any fun at all. Sorry you're having bad luck with a "local".

Local, do what you said you'd do. We all in some way or anothe rhelp each other out on this site. You being all willy nilly makes it harder to trust each other.... so just be legit

i have no idea. being self employed is spectacular. so are CPAs....

that makes it much nicer GFI has different policies for company owned vs byod.

i play on console b/c my friends play on console. simple as that.

I've got an office. but stuff's just everywhere. my servers are only for testing, they're in a rack. network gear is whatever. i'm going to pro it up sometime this year. just an ERL and maybe a small ubiquity switch.

well, then let's shut this sucker down! burn yammer burn.

Have any of you ever worked for, designed, etc a WISP? Not sure why, I keep wanting to dabble. I need to be talked out of it.
