  1. Re:Worried about the cost of your actions? on Why Should I Trust My Network Administrator? · · Score: 1

    The short answer is "no".

    The long answer is "yes".

    You need to get some or all of them to sign a personal guarantee in order to insure that they are held directly liable for any malfeasance on the part of their company/corporation.

    Same as if you were renting out real estate to a corporation.

    I have a good friend who is in his 50s and is a HAM and a huge electronics buff.

    He gets most of his parts from old circuit boards.

    Occasionally he gets a specialized part off eBay.

    Seems like it would be sort of peaceful, sitting around listening to talk radio and desoldering/sorting things.

    Where will we go to buy soldering irons and those RCA to headphone jack adapters now?

    30 We will then get replacements from Hong Kong.

    Good point.

    Only 3 months?

    Man I spent a few months looking for ANY sort of work late last year. Lost my biggest (read: only) web development client and was trying to pay some bills.

    Even stooped to department stores and restaurants, convenience stores, etc. trying to get the rent with no luck at all.

    And I am dead sexy. Also witty, intelligent, and a snappy dresser. And did I mention how dead sexy I am?

    Still no job.

    So I got an occupational license and started building a customer base.And I have no problem finding work.

    Probably because I am so sexy.

  17. Re:Do we have to bring this up over and over again on Best Home Backup Strategy Now? · · Score: 1

    We use rsync between the various machines in our home office. Every machine runs Linux except my daughter's, which runs XP (her Care Bears game doesn't like WINE).

    I have a laptop machine, a desktop machine, and a headless fileserver for my personal use, and my wife has a laptop. That is 4 machines that are used to back up her work directory (she works from home in recruitment for a franchise company) as well as photos. I use them to back up code, emails, and local copies of websites. Everything is scheduled via rsync and cron to run in the wee hours.

    I keep my ebooks collection on all 3 of my machines, I guess that qualifies as the medium category.

    Unimportant stuff like music and video are kept strictly on the fileserver.

    Periodically I zip up the work-related crap and upload it to a cheap VPS that also serves as a secondary DNS server. The VPS is less than $8 per month and comes with 2.5 gigs of storage and 100 gigs of transfer.

    Multiple redundant nightly backups using existing hardware, with offsite backup for $8 per month. Can't beat it for SOHO.

    If you think or know you are already implanted with a chip from a vaccination, flu shot, dentist, surgeon (knowingly or unknowingly through their pharmaceutical supplies) then you can cause them to malfunction within 2 days with a rare earth magnet you can buy that are cheap! I bought 10 of these magnets..the Lord showed me where to put them and I used a band aide to hold them in place. I put them as He led me to. I started on a Friday night, on Sunday I put the last 2 on because they didn't need as many hours to fry the chips as the other ones did, by Monday morning I was cleared and had neutralized all of the chips! New chips, several years old, only need about 12-24 hours to neutralize. The ones you probably got as a kid via vaccines can take 24-36 hours. So I started on a Friday night and took them off on Monday.

    I haven't laughed that hard all day.
