Going to the Cleveland Zoo Sat. Wonderful 4 hour drive with 2 kids under 3. Visiting cousins Sat and Sunday before another wonderful 4 hour drive back again with 2 kids under 3.
Guess how much fun it will be when your kids are between 5 and 15... "Are we there yet?"
Will probably play around with Ansible and Docker a bit. Need to find a good way to manage lots of Raspberry Pi's.

I didn't know this, does that make it obvious or not, who knows..... but again, I didn't know you could use DISM to change that.
Although, if you have a legal MAK/KMS key, why are you using an eval? You should have access to VLSC and just download the ISO you need.
Only a single guy in our campus datacenter is allowed to access MSVLSC and it's often way easier to use evals.
seems crappy that that guy doesn't download the ISOs and put them somewhere everyone can use them.
Don't get me wrong, he will download whatever I need - when there is some spare time. Using evals is just simpler in most cases, for both of us.
Backwards.
How long does it take every time a new software is purchased to click download while also going in to get the key?
Once it is all downloaded and put on central storage, it is never accessed again.
Opposed to you apparently downloading new eval copies all the time
Well, totally agree. There are quite some processes which don't work very well IMHO. On the other hand, I'm more or less in a special position here. I'm the only one who is running things like SharePoint, MS System Center, Exchange and SQL Server.

I would start by looking for "mysql mssql sync" on Google, as MariaDB is "just" a fork of MySQL.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1951174/sync-between-sql-server-and-mysql-serverYou can setup a linked server in MSSQL pointing at the MariaDB and then run a scheduled stored proc that imports your data.
That's what the SO post said

The only digital downloads I aware of are the VLSC licenses.
Otherwise the trial download might let you enter a real key and activate. I'm pretty sure it will. You would want to stand up a trial and then be force to scrap it if you decides to keep it, bit I suppose stranger things have happened.
Eval can be activated, even with MAK keys (and at any time you wish)
Eval can be converted to accept VL keys. It will not activate on one natively.
Edit: I thought I posted here when I did it, but i cannot find it
Maybe I'm missing something, but I had no issues using VL keys on "vanilla" eval installations since Win7/2008R2.
The GUI won't accept the key. You have to use DISM to set the product edition since eval is not a regular one. And the you can use DISM to activate the key.
Yeah, sorry, thought this is obvious. So yes, you are right, the edition is more or less "eval" instead of standard, enterprise or datacenter and dism can fix that.
But the basic question was: Can you activate an eval, and the simple answer is yes.

You should include vendor names. The H61MXP seems to be a Foxconn/Digilite board.
Need to guess a bit:
In case of 1+2+3, this would point to a problem with the bootloader of the OS as the next possible error source.
Thinking about using docker containers for our Raspberrry Pis. Keeping the images up to date is a real PITA. Use-case could be a RabbitMQ base container and several others specific to each student lecture.

Aye, it's a shame 
Maybe not an ideal question for the targeted audience?

Uhm, totally forgot HOW oldscool that game actually is
It was so innovative at the time in RTS controls, but now it is the norm. I loved how you could select all units of a given type, no matter where they were on the map, drop them into a control group, and send them on their suicidal way.
Yeah. Native support for high widescreen resolutions, innovative controls.... Wasn't there even some multi monitor mode with the map running on the second screen?

@thwr said in What Are You Doing Right Now:
@travisdh1 Normally yes, because of the timing. But you can use stepper motors which works pretty well with RPis.
This is a good one for roughly 2-3 dollar incl. a ULN2003 controller board:
If you're just using the steppers to turn the knobs and things on the controllers I suppose. I was assuming you'd want to directly control most of it using the electronic controllers. Adding local controls is easy, the only difficult part is making sure you're using the correct signaling going to the models.

@gjacobse Looks awesome man! I need to clean up my work bench and dig into some of this stuff again. Once the good weather hits I struggle to work on any of my projects.
Well, I know for sure what I will be doing this winter... My father is building an analog Märklin H0 model train course with tons of rails and trains - and wants some automation with Arduino's and Raspberry's. Now if he wants it, guess who needs to do it
Anyway, will be funny I think. Only thing where I'm not yet sure is the frontend, thought about something that works like webbased SCADA. Anyone knows something like this, preferably FOSS?
I'd use a Pi for the front-end web server and Arduinos to actually control the things. That way the front end can have time to do things like reboot if it needs it, and you don't loose control over every thing. I know people have done this sort of thing, but I don't know how much code is available to get the Pi and Arduino(s) talking.
Aye, or PIC's, because I'm old school like that (and own way too many that are not being used)
A Board that has my interest right now is the ESP8266....
lol those are the future of IoT for sure... so many evil possibilities...

Yeah, there's quite a lot of crap out there.
Anyway, it's late here. Good night.
