Fishing is something you do while you drink relax

Website definitely has that feel.

I got the link from the <cough, cough> community.
I'm just thinking that a day at Miller Park, food, fun, yada, yada, might be worth dealing with it.

No math, just a chart. This is different than the one he uses. It's pretty easy to read.

As long as your not driving the boat. At least that's how it is here in Wisconsin.

I'm a professional boat passenger.

I think that the meme get's inserted here:

I don't usually fish, but when I do I might have a cold one

I hope he checked the oil

and should show the login information as well

I don't easily have access to a monitor and keyboard where my server is located. Doing the jumper bit isn't too bad, though.

I'm trying to get the hponcfg utility to work from my Xenserver console in the meantime. I guess I could drag a monitor down there, but it's definitely my last resort.

I'm thinking that the ILO will default to DHCP and UN/PW listed under the cover. You could web page it and reconfigure.

I'm figuring out how to apply a dialing standard that is not designed to be handed by FreePBX.

Forcing 800 users to change a nearly 10 year habit will not go over well.

We have IP Office <insert Mr. Yuk sticker here> and I kept getting notices that we were calling 911. Our users were fat-fingering 9 for an outside line. I know, I know. I don't even ask anymore.

I changed it to 8 for an outside line. The backlash was severe. Monumental, actually.

Check the settings and look for always BCC or something like it.

EDIT: The overall device settings, not the email settings.

13 year old was asking for book recommendations. I'm torn between recommending the Thrawn trilogy and protecting her from the heartbreak of knowing how good episodes 7-9 could have been.

The one(s) by Timothy Zahn? So much better than what's on the boob tube.

Monk. My wife loves it.
I finally convinced her that Adrian Monk is as much of a jerk as Sheldon Cooper. At least, she admits it to me, probably just to get me to give over.

I've been getting call after call, emails, messages, ... not liking it.
Pushy sales guy actually tried an end around going to one of our people here with a title that looked liked he would get some action.
Just that alone is enough in my book to automatically disqualify.
I also did a quick search with just their company name and up pops numerous reviews and ratings that make me feel justified for my feelings about this one.
I don't like 'foot in the door' sales tricks.
/end rant
I'm curious if anyone has had any experience with this company.

Or backslash is by the backspace

Has anyone dealt with Ubiquity or similar with regard to point to point radios for payment card processing?

We are going to check on radios in lieu of trenching, conduit & wire. It has to be secure and documented as such. We would have to be able to pass a PCI audit if it comes down to it, although we don't believe it will come to that. We're still in discovery mode.

In any case, I have a vendor that says that he has a Ubiquity rep that has sold these in the past for warehousing and golf courses for process payment card processing.

If anyone knows of a usage case that I can pull up or even model #s, that would be gold.
The longest run that I need is no more than 100'. If I tag cameras on this, I'd need to be able to have separate networks. Maybe even point to point or point to multi-point for a radio network for each separate network. Dunno.

TIA

I just started the 2nd book of the 2nd trilogy of the Mistborn series -- The Wax and Wayne series. Very enjoyable.

Western Pa. -- Spectrum sites are down as of around 12:30 EST. One Windstream site as well. Although I'm not sure that they don't use the buddy system for outages.

Trying to convince either of two young men that unplugging and plugging in an ATM is a good thing when needed.

I have to wait for the store manager to call me to power cycle the device.

Of course, they called support for the ATM before they called us. I didn't know that while i'm watching them on the cameras that we need a special laptop to test the internet strength.

Happy Thanksgiving folks.

Comcast in Western Pa looks to be flaky if not upright down.
I'm on hold due to higher than normal call volume.
My feed out of Eastern Ohio is up and appears fine.
My feed out of Western Pa is bupkiss.

I'm halfway through the new book... I'd say neither of these live up to the memory I have of the original Zahn triology. They are good, but definitely not as good. As a matter of point - I started reading Alliances 4 weeks ago, and haven't gone back to it.

If you were Zahn, imagine how hard it would be to really put the effort into doing what he did before. They basically burned him like crazy, and they made it that taking the universe seriously has no future. Now its stewards don't respect it. So there is neither a culture of quality, nor the personal benefits of doing a good job. I can only imagine that for Zahn last time was passion, and this time is pure dollar signs. Which really, is how everything Disney is. That's why you choose the Disney life, yeah it makes a lot of money, but there is no soul in it.

Disney has a committee meeting. They have the Thrawn Trilogy in hand. Committee decides to purchase the franchise. Decides that drivel is the way to go forward. Smashes franchise to pieces.
All is well

Where are you? Ours is fine and has been really reliable for the past 3.5 years. I'm over by Indiana.

reliable? 3.5 years?

count yourself among the,... jeeeze I don't know... Executive few ...

we see Crapcast go down in Atl nearly ever week...

I've had it go down twice in 3.5 years. Once because someone hit a pole down the road. The second they had to replace something on the pole outside of our house. We only have internet so everything relies on it. So we notice when it doesn't work.

I would say that is very reliable.. 1000times more reliable that I have seen our client in just four months. The difference is more than that of Night and Day.. Count yourself among the very upper elite few.

I don't ever use their gear. I have my own modem and my own equipment behind it.

I have thought about getting our own modem.... this and recent issues aren't related to gear.
These were pure service related.

I hit a couple of sites. All services are restored.

BTW, don't call for support on the 4th. On hold for 2 hour and 37 minutes before they dropped my call.

Most days, the service is fine. Just frustrating when it's skeleton crew day.
