    Your opinions on "skinning?"

    I never have enough time to fully examine each available skin in order to make the best choice. So I don't use them.

    Virtualization & SAN Admin but why Linux?

    I can't imagine why someone would require you to learn Linux specifically to administrate vmware or SANs. There are some basic concepts that are common to OS abstraction or storage abstraction that would be important to know but these are not OS dependent by any means. The technology that has...

    It is more difficult to centrally manage the cache file size (restrict disk space) with FF. Very hacky.

    Use of IE ... today?

    Corporately we use all three due to incompatibilities here and there. I'm pushing for documenting the incompatibilities so I can push FF out the door.

    Site<->Site VPN connectivity issue

    My only other suggestion is that maybe the keys are not being generated properly. Try a different passphrase to test.

    Site<->Site VPN connectivity issue

    That indicates that the tunnel is not actually up. Could something as mundane as the external IP address of the remote site have changed? The method you are using to remote in might make this obvious but I don't know what that is. Can we assume you have double checked the gateway and tunnel...

    Cold

    The Appalachian mountains were the northwesterly border of the storm and did not get the coldest weather in this storm. Atlanta, 200 miles south of me had far more ice and freezing. I woke to 7" of snow but really a rather uneventful day. I was barely late to work. Thanks for the concern.

    The decent tone generators would come with the spring clamps needed to suss out and label. Coax splitters are extremely simple devices, it is unlikely it went bad. More likely is animal destruction.

    Windows 8 install tricks

    The strange thing about this technique is that the install asks for the key during install and then fails to work with it until you twiddle in the registry. Seems more broken than intentional.

    Windows 8 install tricks

    Dd, you had the right solution already. Even the enterprise version does not support wireless connections to the database. The good news is the worst that can happen is choppy performance until the company file corrupts and you have pay Intuit to recover.

    Good luck with that.They don't even recommend v10 run over 802.11. It's nothing to run a couple network drops so I didn't worry too much. With a cell or satellite connection I would go with local install or terminal server.

    I agree this is much more important in colder climates. I'm curious why you say the house would collapse? The vents are off the ground and have physical barriers for critters.

    It would be easiest to provide a private network to the heartbeat NICs, it is best to keep that the traffic those NICs see as clean as possible. If you do not configure a DNS server on the private network <netsh int ipv4 sho dns> will show you the DNS servers that are configured for all...

    Caching software for SSD

    FWIW, Samsung recently acquired NVELO which claims to be faster than Intel SRT on the max setting. I have no experience with either but that makes 2 options to try. Only the Intel option is free.

    Setting up the Heartbeat NIC in Hyper-V server 2012 R2

    If you mean what I think you mean you can use ipconfig /registerdns to get the server to show up in DNS. This is after you have properly configured the server with a static IP settings. I'm not sure about the other setting.
