A few weeks ago my truck broke. Radiator hose split. Not a big deal, but I had to pull over and couldn't finish my drive to work. That day I won a contest on Spiceworks for a MangoCon ticket, thanks to @ChrisL and Colocation America. Yesterday my truck broke again. Bolt for brake caliper broke and it pushed it into the rim. Later that day I won another contest for a trip to SpiceWorld.
I can't wait for my truck to break again.

Repeat.
I look forwards to going. I am going to make point to always drive with a lottery ticket though.

I went ahead and ordered one this morning. I would like a zero instead, but I can find some use for this until I can get a zero. I have a few projects where a zero's size would be quite useful.
Welcome to MangoLassi, by the way. I know you've been here for a bit, but this is your first post
Thank you, I've been just kind of creeping around since you convinced me to sign up from spiceworks. I'm generally not very active in forums, but I am liking the community here.

For those of you still looking for ultra cheap VM's for testing:
I find it hard to trust anyone who claims to offer free Microsoft Windows Server.
Write errors to their event logs, and then go over, bring it up in front of them, then "fix it."
Unfortunately, sometimes the better you are at your job, the less anyone knows you've done anything. I would just try to have regular meetings with your boss, talk about what you've done since the last meeting, and upcoming projects you'd like to tackle.

Possibly not a good idea, if he works with Windows exclusively he may have to take off the first layer of skin.
Then he has to value what hair he does have. Hair doesn't survive well in Windows environments.
You can change permissions for the "desktop" folder . I don't know of a GPO for it off hand, but here's a site that's rather helpful with policies.
Here, we have worked out a default setup for each department. If the department head makes a request for a new machine, they are reminded what the default setup for their department is, and if they would like anything different, they need to specify it.
I'm also lucky. The execs here just demand everyone to place detailed request. If someone doesn't get what they wanted, they weren't specific enough.
The only good use of a 3DTV is split screen gaming. Not, that I've ever done it, but it looks cool.

One day I'll have coverage, then maybe I can get this bone realigned in my hand, so it doesn't noticeably stick out.
I don't make enough money to get fined at the end of the year, but I would still prefer to be covered.
The ACA has done a lot of good. My girlfriend's mother wouldn't be alive right now it it wasn't for the ACA. It removed lifetime limits and the preexisting condition clause. My girlfriend's mother reached her lifetime limit on her insurance plan and was no longer covered. She has multiple sclerosis, and had to go a few years without proper treatments. Unfortunately she became confined to a wheelchair before she was able to get covered again. This whole situation is absurd. The current healthcare system is a failure.

@aaron that's a smart way to do it if your boss doesn't have a weekly one-on-one in the schedule (like @jyates said), which I believe they should.
I've never liked weekly one-on-ones and that isn't what @jyates said, he said regular meetings, he did not say weekly. It's a huge waste of time. If someone has a problem, bring it up. It's weird to wait until a weekly meeting to me. I also see my superiors and some colleagues more often on video chat than in person, so it's not a good use of their time when they are physically with me to just talk aimlessly.
Weekly seems kind of close, also doesn't have to be one on one. If it's important, notify immediately. Even if your boss isn't going to be involved. Send an email, "Hey stuff and things, so I'm doing this thing. Should be done with it in X."
My current system, my boss has me send weekly emails to keep him up to date. Doesn't have to be an in depth report, just basics. Then we have a department meeting once every month, where were order Chinese food. This is where we discuss what we have been doing, and future stuff we plan on doing. Sometimes the meetings do seem kind of pointless, but free food makes happy employees.

PFSense is a good free option, but it requires you provide your own PC class hardware, and the power bill will probably be 10X or more than an ERX.
This right here.
pfSense is a great solution but requires hardware that will cost you more than an ERX ever will.
Drop another $80-$90 on an UAP-AC-LITE and you have a rock solid home network running basic enterprise hardware.
Sophos has the same options. Free, but requires a machine to run on.

I believe HIPAA only covers medical information, so it wouldn't cover your name, number, nor your address.
I suggest using a google voice number to give out to people.

- Your opinions on how I should do things on my own property will never have any effect on how I actually do things.
You're free to do what you want on your property... but the public street next to your property is, by definition, not your property. I could understand shooting someone for entering but parking on a street? That makes no sense and in most places, except apparently Florida, Georgia, and Texas, would be very illegal.
If you are shooting someone in defense, it should only be if they pose an immediate threat to you. It shouldn't be "Oooh! someone's near something I own. Time to kill 'em!" That's not a defensive mentality.
If I'm lost, or having car troubles. I like dead end roads. They are low traffic and out of the way of the majority of people. Leaving more time to get your route set, fix your issue, or get a tow truck. Then people that live there are generally more observant of traffic, and if they see a car sitting there, they usually go speak to them, not shoot at them, to see what's going on.

Back in the office, still sick, tons to catch up on (including a production DB server that died while I was away - 2 simultaneous drive failures, yay!) Oh, and my truck won't start, so it's basically gearing up to be a shitty week.
Truck won't start? I had to look back up and make sure it was you and not @jyates posting. Sorry about the lousy situation.
If my truck has issues, I win something. So it's not that lousy of a situation. The truck isn't my only vehicle either. It's just my only manual vehicle.
