I’m sorry. I’m glad you got the money, though. Let us know how it goes.

The fuck? Do you even need more than, say, 2 domain controllers with an environment like that?

There are remote site servers but still no more than one read only controller at those sites for the local users to have proper access if things go wrong with the network.
But yes 1 and 1 for failover is pretty much all that is needed.
ETA I had to ditch finally seeing Wonder Woman today to power back on a server because whoever was here before me let licenses expire so it shut down after it detected some thing or another. I tried all 3 keys from a list that are supposed to be good but i can’t get it to activate.
I will make up for it by taking off early later on in the week when someone can cover for the afternoon and go see it.

He’s in surgery right now. Our fingers are of course still crossed, but the staff informed us that the surgical team had plenty of pizza before they got to work, so we are hopefully optimistic!

My partner and I are some of the luckiest humans there are. Our friends and family are everything to us, and they really really came through for us today. I’m still shaking, and I imagine I’ll still feel trepidation until he is back home with us. My heart is full to bursting and merely hours ago I though it was broken. What a day (which is not over yet) but we’re in a positive space now, which I think is the best we can possibly do.

This is a dog, yes? Because otherwise the posts are disturbing…
Upthread I mentioned that our dog had sudden serious medical issues and was give a few days to live. This was April 2016. Well, she finally passed away this summer, 15 months later. Unfortunately, my wife and I were spending the month in California, leaving our son to house/dogsit. This was very hard on him, not only her death while he was alone but also having to deal with our vet, who was not helpful; the day before she died he brought her in and the vet blew off his concerns and just gave him some tranqs for her.
We’re back home now, and it is hard to get out of the habit of closing the fence gate and opening the dog door. And neighborhood feral cats have already started invading the yard.

Best of luck. I know how hard this can be.

I woke up yesterday with my knee in a lot of pain, today I have a bruise coming up yet I have no recollection of doing anything to it.
No, I don’t drink alcohol, except on special occasions.
I’m going to see if it gets better on it’s own over the weekend, if it doesn’t then it looks like I’m going to the doctors about it, not that I expect much to happen because I’m already on reasonably strong painkillers.

Fuck this week, and my job.
Two days ago, my boss got nervous on a deadline (30th of Sept) and started panicking. I’ve been working on a project including a GIS which stores most of the data in fucking shapefiles (because my database skills are not really active knowledge and I couldn’t learn spatialite on the fly).
Since multiple people on multiple computers with multiple versions of QGIS worked on this, the data is bound to be shit, but I did my best to automate everything. From the beginning I planned to create a report solution using knitr, but now we’re back to word serial documents from an excel-file I scobbled (i know this isnt a word but it fits) together from the fucking dbase-files.

The doctor being monitored is bad enough, although it could have been a lot worse, but the quote from a child abuse enablement group (Transgender Trends) is the shit cherry on top.

A follow up.
The good news is that the doctor doesn’t think they need to amputate 
It was pretty much what I expected to be honest, a badly sprained knee. I’m going to be wearing a knee brace and doing physiotherapy for the next few months. I don’t think I’m cutting down my DHC use anytime soon either (I like to go a week or so without opioids every so often to remind my body what normal feels like)

Still no power. Sigh.

Been there. Isabel knocked us out for 3 weeks. On one hand it’s a tremendous pain in the ass but, on the other one get’s used to a simpler and more quiet life. I never realized how much ambient noise a house makes until the power was gone. However, extremely happy when the power was restored!

Got towed a second time in a week. From a parking spot I own. Cost me almost $500.
Turns out, when the HOA changed tow companies they signed off on a bunch of rules which weren’t broadcast to the condo owners. Got dinged for my parking sticker not being “permanently affixed” , and because my registration sticker fell off and the new one hadn’t arrived yet.
This is a big problem because I don’t live at the unit I own for the most part. A problem I’ve had this year is not turning my car on for 5 or 6 weeks and finding the battery dead. Now this!

Or how much the dogs fart! No lie, you just can’t tell until everything else comes to a stop. Those guys were getting away with a lot under cover of noise from the fridge compressor and electronics fans.

Everyone in the neighborhood used to end up at my house when the power failed, because I always maintain some means of cooking, heating and lighting that doesn’t require electricity. Back in my first house, we’d have all the neighbor kids sitting in the living room of our house or my neighbor Tim’s house (he had a woodstove) while we made the rounds draining everyone’s plumbing so their pipes wouldn’t burst.
Nowadays my neighbors are more high-falutin’ and their giant generators automatically roar into life as soon as the power fails. I miss the old neighborhood whenever that happens.

Yeah, it’s a pain, especially since it makes working from home kind of hard (can’t upload grades or the like), but the down time is nice, too. And I’m grateful of course, because it could have been much worse. We’re lucky, I know.
Still no power as of this morning. Double sigh.
