@scottalanmiller Rome looks like a beautiful place
-
Heading to St Louis. Doing some on site work for @pchiodo this afternoon, then a couple different clients tomorrow.
-
Cleaning up a clients PC, AV was never installed, and I've removed 16 adware programs so far and just got AV installed...

@Dashrender I'm using SCCM and it applies things to collections. So in this case, the collection is merely a grouping of specified devices (but it can also be users).
A collection can be defined statically by specifying which objects (users or devices) are members of that collection or dynamically by specifying certain criteria (e.g. OS, RAM, CPU, AD OU, IP range etc).
This one consisted of PC's that I manually added and made the OS deployment required (as opposed to the alternative of 'available' and providing a choice).
Be careful with SCCM, lol. Emory University wound up accidentally wiping all of their systems while trying to deploy Windows 7!

It really is. Too many tourists, though. I prefer other parts of Italy far more. But the ancient Rome is certainly unique and amazing. You should see the street we are on!

The B&B we had was on the otherside of the wall from the Vatican. It was amazing to be that close - I'm sure it's the same feeling having some place super close to the colosseum.

Don't Tell @minion-Queen or @Mike-ralston
I'm lightly hacking my Yealink phone.... Just looking at the Logs and an XML file or two..

It's super cool. We plan on seeing the Vatican tomorrow. That will be country #30 for the kids, too!

If you're going to hack it... might as well go all the way and install Android or CentOS or something on it. :hammer_pick:

Not sure I would insult Android or CentOS by doing so. This is an 'old' model

All the more reason to do it. I had Android 3 running on my Droid Eris (it shipped with 1.6, lol).

The weirdest thing about Rome to me was that all the motorcycles creep up through traffic at stop lights and sit at the head of the pack.
I know we've talked about this before, but it's just so different from any place I've been before.

I want to say that is called Lane Splitting here in the USA. And is now legal to do in some states.

It's a Yealink t20 - not even sure it's possible.

Contemplating my mortality

Contemplating my mortality
I know the feeling. Strangely, I find thoughts of mortality far more depressing when in the US rather than when in Europe. Something about being tied to my heritage makes me more comfortable in Europe.

It's not that depressing to me. I don't think life would be as beautiful if it weren't temporary. We're so insignificant universally and that gives me a lot of comfort. Any success or failures are irrelevant ultimately.

We have KACE and it works pretty well from what I've seen.

The beauty of mortality. Sounds like a DaVinci painting.

A bank over here had a similar issue a few years ago. It made me a bit nervous about moving to it but you have to be pretty careless (or "oh what does this do?" without googling) to do that. Measure twice, cut once
