Need to check weather and then make a decision.Seattle? Probably a chance of rain. I think that's a near-universal truth this time of year.
Funny enough it's raining in London. So I just expect more of the same...
Cleared security now just waiting, and waiting....

Less that 24 hours for my flight to Seattle...This album seems appropriate seeing as it took me all week last time to find him! 😀
Rodders...
Hey, it's not like I was hiding. I'm just a busy man.
Safe travels.
I fly out Saturday evening and arrive around 10:15PM in Seattle. Got the MVP Summit Sun-Tues and then I'll be around the PASS Summit the rest of the week. Friday you probably won't find me until about lunch because I'll be exhausted at that point.
Hey if I haven't found you by Friday then I give up!
Rodders...
Yeah, Jack doesn't hide intentionally. He's just really small.:-D:-D:-D:-D

No it was personal, Jack was doing it on purpose! 😉
The really funny thing was we met by accident. I was only planning on staying for the Thursday night for a little while as I stupidly had a flight booked after it all finished on Friday. I was about to go, when Richard Douglas said hey have you met Jack? And Jack turns round...

Just found out through personal experience that Citi bank recycles user IDs.
Makes me a little uncomfortable.
Also found out the hard way that they lost registration data "when moving a database."
Makes me wonder what the hell they're doing there.

Maybe they are using too much of that "special" glaucoma medicine. Or maybe it is the special brownies.

Getting a error configuring mirroring. I am a programmer with no administration or network knowledge.
Sorry, but this is a little scary at first.

I understand that (s)he is practicing on a desktop and not in a real environment. Maybe trying to prepare for a certification exam.

No administration or network knowledge and trying to prepare for an exam? Hmmm.

You have to give him credit, it's not easy to work with Windows Evolution Edition. :hehe:

I'm wondering why he wants to certify on a subject that he clearly doesn't master.
However I feel his pain: how is anybody without system/network administration skills supposed to understand how sysprep works?

I can understand where he's coming from. I work in BI but the company would like us as a team to get Microsoft certification. I'm in the situation where a lot of what's on the various exams we use day to day but there is an awful lot that might as well be written in Klingon. We'll never set up mirroring and there's next to no chance of getting network and administration experience because it's just not our job. We're chasing the correct access to the dev environment to allow us to work on this in downtime at work but as it stands, to do a lot of the exam prep, we'd have to use virtual machines on our home systems in our own time.
As to why he wants to certify, I suspect the answer is similar to the reason I (eventually) want to certify; the company will pay me more. I know that certification is not the be-all-and-end-all and in most cases it will be trumped by experience but when a bigger paycheque is offered it seems as good a reason as any to do it. Especially when somebody else has said they will pick up any costs.
