      @coliver said in Skip Eating Meals for Better Productivity:

      My wife hates this. I don't generally eat lunch during the work day. 80% of the time I just forget about it and work through it.

      Same, and my wife hates it too.

      I skipped the wife and it's turned out ok so far.

      I am jealous of the dual income though.

    • RE: Smart cars + smart phones = bad.

      Canbus (effectively an in car ethernet network of sensors) was an amazing idea but also very risky

      Cars, or rather their electronics/computers, should be open source.

      Just did RDP with a remote site/client. No AV updates since... ever. Odd. Manager behind me giggles and says they have no license for ANY ANTIVIRUS.

      1. I am sad panda.
      2. WTF?!
      3. I feel dirty installing MS Essentials.

    • RE: Would You Hire Someone in IT Who Does Not Have a Home Lab

      If I'm curious about something I will spin up a VM on my desktop at home. It's got the guts to run quite a few at once to try something new.

      I find I don't use it much.

      When I'm at work I have better resources if I want to build something to test.

      Also, they pay me for that.

      So... honestly... I don't much see the point. I also worry you are self-selecting for traits I do not find desirable, at least in myself. It's good to go home and turn off. It's healthy.

      Oh pffft, few months? You'll sit down at a desk and be rocking out like it was yesterday. Our brains are pretty cool like that. Best of luck with the search!

    • RE: What To Do when RAID Has a Hard Drive Failure

      I usually just power off the server, yank all the drives out, mix em all up and put em back in. I also enjoy testing my backups quite often.

      I'll have to try your method next time!

      The recurring fee makes them less than desirable for a lot of the SMB.

      My boss is a Cisco fanatic - even she says the fees are pure extortion.

      Am I crazy?

      Yes but that's not relevant to the article 😛

      This was an interesting read, but I admit way outside anything I've ever seen. Incompetence sure, theft? No.

    • RE: What Are You Doing Right Now

      Just booked Friday off for mental health - I am going fishing w/ my dad and some kind old farts from the gun club.

      Saturday night I packed my car full of my fishing gear, ready for Sunday. Woke up on Sunday to find my car broken into and all my gear gone. Very sad as most of this stuff was inherited from my Dad & we both were very upset. He mentioned all this to the guys at the fish & game club and all those jerks got together and gave me all their old gear.

      I can't even process this right now.
