So a buddy offered you a job, but required you to attend 45 days of training from 8AM to 8PM, which if you fail at the training you're out of both jobs...
IDK does it seem like something you can actually do and want to do?
and can you afford to do it...as in, do you have family depending on your income etc?
The best one of those I've seen was along the lines of "stay straight for 200 miles" or something mental...
I had tomato soup and bread...far from exciting but it's food so meh...

That they are advertising a partnership with VMware honestly worries me a lot. That's the same "first red flag" that we had with CloudatCost and why we knew something was wrong there right away. VMware is not cost effective for a cloud provider.
Yep.. Allowing you to have your own private ESXi cloud is one thing.. (rackspace and most will do this if you give them enough $$$)..
But running the whole backbone infustructure on vmware is stupid.
Right, there are good reasons to choose VMware in house, especially for a large enterprise. But Vmware for a commodity public cloud AND using SAN... it was quite obvious that they were trying to buy software rather than having to have even a single person who knew how these things worked.
This cloud is run using openstack - we have a partnership with VMWare for some of our enterprise clients etc, we use all sorts of things depending on what the client wants - everything isn't run off VMWare - but we do have a few large clients that demand it, so we offer it... eCloudFlex is a new solution, built in house using openstack etc, designed for Linux mainly...gives a console as standard, but you can connect pretty much anyway you want (putty etc too) - I just use it as it's handy though, it spins up a new instance in about 30 seconds, so can mess, break stuff, then delete and re-create etc without fear...
Corrected the link in my first post to show the 30 day trial, and also the above post has a link to the price calculator

Not sure about the Storage, but I'm currently using 190GB (all SSD storage)All administered remotely through a webpage...it's amazing for trying things out for me atm, as if I mess up, I delete and it creates a linux VM in less than a minute normally...so teaching myself the linux basics again!
What host, and what's the monthly cost?
Host is UKFast (it's the ecloud flex) - not sure on the cost lol, can find out if you want?

Thanks!

Cool. They don't have any pricing on their site, so that makes me less than excited to talk with them, lol. Especially since I'd likely be a very small fish in their pond.
It's a relatively new offering...but I'm sure they can figure something out that suits you! If you decide you want to find out about pricing after the trial, let me know and I'll find the right person for you to talk to

Carry a stun gun, when the dogg approaches, just fire it off into the air. Dogs and crackheads will flee from that crackling sound.
Mace maybe... the foaming kind.

This isn't the place to get into a discussion on this, nor is it a discussion I wish to have.
If you are on a public street and feel threatened by someone pet who is behind a fence - AND that pet should get out of that fence you are better to a short range type device. Mace, Pepper Spray or absolute last choice - something similar to the Taurus Judge with .410 - bird shot.
Just to clarify, I don't have a clue what the situation was, nor was I suggesting shooting an animal... I'm not even sure why I posted that quote lol, just jumped into my mind when I saw that you were talking about mace/stun guns...my bad

Another successful family walk without shooting the dog down the road.
Well that's good... but why are you worried about the dog down the road? lol.
The fence doesn't go down the whole way to the ground and it got out and chased my wife one time. I'm not taking any chances.
We would walk the other direction if it didn't end up in a busy main road after like 100 feet.

And everyone should be on the domain... EVERYONE especially the chairman...
I don't know about everyone.. There's some laptops we have for maintenance that aren't on the domain, blocked from the network and have local admin rights so they can work on random crap.
As a general rule, unless there is a specific reason for them not to be, they should... obviously there are exceptions, there are to anything...but for least confusion, lets leave it at that for now
@Dashrender said:
Sounds like we are all in agreement then.
CIO and IT staff should have two accounts -
normal every day account = non admin
admin account for admin tasks = admin level.
And everyone should be on the domain... EVERYONE especially the chairman...
