Just from a quick look:

• I did not know where to look first. To many boxes and hard breaks in your design (worked for a media / design agency years ago)
• Skip versions maybe
• Skip basics

Design.. well. You got some major things you should take care of in your document, IMHO.

• Good spacing and line height, easy read.
• Font is a little light, but that's still ok. Just keep in mind: HR guys get tons of resumes and they need to - literally - scan them in a very short amount of time. The font can either make your resume look awesome or a "won't read".
• I would avoid that 2x2 grid you are using. The eye can't follow, it's to "chaotic".
• Nice to know your name, but you're wasting a lot of space for it
• The main content block looks a bit... disrupted. Check your alignment. I would change the captions to align to the left
• There's the first centered block labeled "Skills". Below that you got a left aligned list. Any reader would have a hard time reading this. Either make it align to the left (see above) or maybe try some centered or justified formatting, can make a huge difference:

(Glued that together in a sec. Isn't supposed to look awesome, just meant to give you an idea about formatting effects)

Keep in mind that our resumes are very different, so I won't comment much on the technical side.

The connection to the hospital terminates in building 2, but the equipment that needs access to this is on the other end of a private fiber link in building 1. So I purchased a ER-X SFP for the side near the corporate firewall, and a ES SFP for the radiology side. The ER-X SFP was the least expensive way to get the fiber connections for the building 2 side.

The equipment would be fine. A little benefit: You could run a VPN tunnel too to secure traffic, if that's a requirement.

I suppose I could. It is provided by Cox, so it's like the NSA has taps in their DCs just like everywhere watching all traffic flowing.

They shouldn't be able to. Health data should be kept private.

LOL - just like no one should have been looking at private data flowing between Google Datacenter just because it was flowing through AT&Ts DCs... but it was happening.

Sadly, yes

The hope is that now that Mana 1 has released in a remade form for Android, and that Mana 2 has been remade for PC, that Mana 3 might be coming - that's the one that no one has seen since the Super Famicom and is often said to have had the best graphics of the era. Almost no American has ever seen it.

I saw the SoM for the SNES way back in the day... (It may have been on an EMU, I can't remember, lol).

How much I loved it... Played it recently

Why would one use an ER-X as a switch? It's a router.

Because it's hardware I already have. Granted, it's not the end of the world, I can ditch it if I must.

What would you like to accomplish? Route between networks? Or do you want to work on L2 only?

This is a great question. I suppose for security purposes I should protect my equipment from the hospital network. It just makes the setup a bit more complicated.

Not much. I would go for a routed network, your second picture.

Lots of people say OCD but aren't referring to the medical condition. Real OCD isn't much like what people use it to mean. It's a medical term used very loosely in general practice. Much as people use schizophrenic to mean things that are very different than the actual condition.

Real OCD is a maniacal disorder.

"Zwangsstörung". We're using the term in the same fashion.

@thwr Do you find this soothing? I do

Professional cabling, but it doesn't make sense for us. CAT 7 cables run into two patch racks and the old cabling was like... spaghetti. Ran from rack 1 (patch field) to rack 4 (switches). Just moved (or more precisely: bought new ) the switches to the first two racks. Now there are just 400 very short cables.

LOL, common acronym in the US. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

OK, Google found it, but I thought he means something else

Sorry, OCD?

Ripped out half of the two to ten meter cables in our two patch racks today. Replaced them with 0,25cm cords (patchpanel, 48 port switch, patchpanel).

Looking for an all in one laser printer.

• Low volume (approx. 10-15k pages / yr)
• Color
• A4 (~ US Letter)
• Scan (incl. scan to fileshare)
• Fax (ya, we'll get rid of this soon never)
• Duplex scan
• Duplex print
• Two paper trays (>= 250 sheets / tray)
• Preferably no bloatware drivers

Ideas?

Looks like a showdown between Kyocera Ecosys M5526cdn and Brother MFC-L8690CDW.

Anyone using one of them?

That why I placed "That's a joke" into brackets... The performance loss can be measured - in a lab. It does not really mean anything in almost all cases.

@kelsey said in the benefits for a small company that wants to use a virtual server:

@thwr thanks

The point is, like SAM already told you: The least benefit you'll get is flexibility. There absolutely no reason not to use virtualization.

Use the tiny layer of abstraction that comes for free, use one of the popular (and license free) Type 1 hypervisors (Hyper-V, Xen, KVM, VMWare ESXi etc) and you won't regret it.

Re: How would you move an IIS workload from on site to a VPS

I'd honestly have to gather more info before I say one way or another. Slowing down and thinking about it, I believe this app only exists in inetput and is asp.net... I'd have to jump into their server and take a look.

Is it by any chance .NET Core? Runs great as Docker on Linux, for example.

I'm not sure off the top of my head to be honest. I would guess no, just based on some characteristics of the client. But I will be gathering more details.

Damn. How old is the application? .NET Core is relatively new (approx. 2 years or so)

Ah, I didn't know it was a newer version. I thought it was just different. Know that I do not know a lot about .NET/ASP.NET/.NET Core. I haven't had a need to support many web services, so learning the exact underlying differences is something I have on my continuing list of things to master.

It's not just a new framework version, it's Microsoft's take on cross platform without compromises.

I just logged in and checked, that app uses ASP.NET

There it goes, your chance of a docker container Sorry.

Pretty much if software is written in .NET, it has also been abandoned. .NET is the platform for abandoning software.

I've seen so many abandoned Python / Perl / Ruby / Java / Whatever projects... it's not just a matter of the language or the ecosystem.

But I do not want to de-rail this thread
