About to switch on a TP-LINK WA801ND to see if i can use it to extend the range of my AR Drone

Just finished watching Kung Fu Panda 3 in the theater with my 7yo.

Sounds like, but I am guessing, that they aren't doing their job and not training this kid and upset that he took them at their word that it was an internship.
That thread is just stupid. I read it last night. I can only assume it got worse.

No, more of an even keel. It stayed pretty much where it was.

Got most of my playbook done for updating XO. If anyone wants it it's here under Xen-Orchestra Clone: https://github.com/JHB-Computers/ansible
XO is in a container, so if you aren't doing it that way, you will need to change a lot.

Just took my VMware VCA exam and got certified!

Good morning everyone!

Explaining college requirements to a recruiter friend today: "Requiring college is insulting to anyone who can do the job regardless of if they went to college or not. Only people incapable of doing the job drop back to being proud of getting through college. Much like how people who can't work at McDonald's are proud of graduating high school as their big accomplishment."

I got my SW PMs down to a fewer than 20, which means that they fit on a single page now. And all of the ones that are left are ones that I need to maintain for reference reasons (they have information in them that I don't want to lose.) Nothing more requiring follow up and now I can, I hope, keep on top of new ones as they come.

Here is someone with a four layer inverted pyramid. You rarely see this... http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/1415598-2-server-s-connected-to-a-jbod-array-as-storage-for-vmware
He has a single disk cabinet, a JBOD cheap set of disks. It doesn't even have RAID. Just a dumb unit with power and connections for drives. As cheap as it gets. This is the bottom layer.
Then, since there are no storage controllers, he has two Windows servers attached to that shared JBOD using Storage Spaces as the software RAID system. So this is Windows software RAID on the server side talking over a slow shared link to all of the drives. This creates an extra layer for failure and additional bottlenecks on top of using cheap components and Windows software RAID. This is layer two.
Then those servers talk to switches via iSCSI or SMB3. This is layer three.
Then the host nodes talk to the switches. This is layer four.
So this is, instead of a 3-2-1 design, is a 4-2-2-1 design. A taller, more fragile type of inverted pyramid. Four different "links" in the chain meaning four different failure domains which, if any fail, everything fails. Four times the opportunity for disaster. And not at all cheap to implement.

Just started studying on Linux Academy to help me with my AWS SysOps Administrator certification. Really in depth stuff!
-
Sitting on a mac...with really slow performance...trying to edit a video.
Wishing I had my desktop right now
-
I just realized that Amazon Cloud Drive will store raw files as images, that's awesome!
-
Just noticed that Citrix in their XenApp and XenDesktop documentation recommends NFS storage whenever possible as well (over block storage like iSCSI and FC.)
