One of my favourite museums in the world is the Genesee Country Museum in Mumford very close to Rochester (20 minutes or so.) Absolutely excellent.

If you're in the Cooperstown area there is a small museum called Hanford Mills, one of those living village museums.

Cool, have not seen that one.

I accidentally left the Apple Watch at my dad's last week. Just got back to his place tonight and got it back. I've missed it. Once you get used to one, you don't like to be without it.

Just for background - Fibrant is a municipal ISP that was setup by the City of Salisbury to fill in the gaps that other ISPs in the area refused to fill. They expanded from there and offer high speed services to the majority of the city.

but adding in SIP to services, that's where the problems tend to start. Being an ISP is good. Offering SIP is good. Putting the two together is generally bad. No
t always, of course, but pretty often.

Just because an ISP offers sip does not mean they are a shit IST

Yup, which I pointed out. I leans that way, but doesn't mean that it is the case.

That isn't what your first response was though. Your first response was very narrow and specific.

Yep, correlation doesn't equal causation. The two aren't related at all.

Ah, but they are. ISPs turn to SIP in many causes for the purpose of retaining customers in the face of competition based on quality of service.

Been working all day today. I am tired and my in box will never recover, neither will my butt.

@Minion-Queen The food from all of those places is worth every calorie, I promise 🙂

This battlestation is fully operational!! We have the first seven nodes of lab power online now from California! Very excited for all of the cool, new projects that we will be doing shortly.

I am also hoping to fit in a tour of the Genesee Brewery in High Falls Friday night before dinner and craziness. But you can check out a virtual tour here: http://seeitall360.com/brewhousetour/brewhousetour.html

I would be down for that, any idea on pricing?

Working on that (might be free not sure yet).

Thank you for reaching out to me everyone. I have found my person already. This is why I love the community!

Well I will have to smack @scottalanmiller about that one a bit later. He is traveling this week so not around.

@scottalanmiller

Growing up in Trenton I had a Greek neighbor who always that for me.

Keep in mind we do lots of cloud stuff and have never had issues like this with any other providers.

Yeah... zero that we've ever seen with DO or Vultr, only tiny ones with RS and very rare. Never seen anything like Azure. And never met other people so often with issues.

I recommend TONS of people to DO. Haven't tried Vultr yet though. RS is super expensive. Do you find any benefits with them over DO? I've heard some things like console access, but haven't looked into it.

DO, RS and Vultr all have console access. That's the same. RS has a slightly different performance profile. The big deals with RS are the full range of features that they offer. But these days, their benefits are rapidly dwindling.

Nice, thanks. I'll have to take another look. I've simply never recommended RS due to the price. DO's pricing is extremely affordable for small-medium businesses and people wanting to simply setup a test lab. I haven't broken down the pricing for medium-large scale, it just didn't seem logical based on the price (though the company I'm at now doesn't buy semi-new servers, www.insightsystemsonline.com sometimes has some really nice servers with a 3 year warranty). I looked last week and their inventory is nothing to write home about. The company I'm at now only buys straight from Dell.

I am using ublock origin, but I've never changed the setting for this site. Until yesterday I saw the xByte ads just fine. but then I saw MQ's post about new ads, and noticed I then saw nothing.

And as I mentioned, they are back today.

I'd be willing to do some networking stuff... but that's an extremely broad topic.

Do the hokey pokey and you turn your self around... Then the token ring falls out!

Wow, that's strangely inappropriate.

sadly, conference cookies are rarely worth eating.

Quite true... I had some of the most awesome cookies... sorry... they were all mine!

The lunch cookies weren't that bad.

Were covered with some sticky goo. The cookies themselves were ok I guess. but i had to go wash my hands after picking one up.

This is EXACTLY what I told @Minion-Queen yesterday. We are totally on the same page. Leave that off and they were great.
