Morning all. I would say good morning, but I am sitting at my work desk getting ready for a meeting at 9:30 and another at 11:00 and catching up on my email. This is my Monday.
So, we have a policy and form for requisitioning equipment and as I am going through emails I have a request for a new monitor. Then another request with the original email attached. I know I put the automatic replies as out of office for the time I was at the rib conference with the major players, and the IT conference. I am afraid to check my voicemail to see how many she left. Funny thing is, had she gone through the proper procedure she would have had it days ago as we have a couple here for emergencies.
Our datacenter has all the VMs on a RAID 6 which backs up to a RAID 10 which is also duplicated in the "cloud". Our cloud storage is in a bunker in Colorado similar to Cheyenne Mountain. If we had the money, I would put a second SAN in for HA failover for the drives to match the HA on the cluster of servers. Funny thing is, our SAN the drives are terrible expensive and the NAS they are WD Enterprise SATA drives and they are pretty cheap.
Again, it was great to meet you all at the rib palace. Jacob doesn't generally get to play on the phone that much but Jenny thought it would be better so the rest of us could talk. Otherwise he would commandeer the conversation. Emily is pretty talkative once she gets going. They were already talking about whether to tag along to next years conference and hitting the OK City and the one to the west since it would be on the way to the one in New Mexico. We drove (according to the GPS) 2600 miles and a little over 44 hours actually moving on the road.
