Bike, Blues & BBQ 2014

This year was great, I saw a great deal of diverse bikes! Couple of Beemers of course! These photos were around Baum Stadium.  Even saw an old car or two. The V8 Choppers were definitely worth stopping in and seeing! Kristen was headed towards something yellow.  Kirsten's favorite was the Polaris Slingshot, sporting the 2 in front trike with bucket seats. I was told that the 2 models would be $20k & $23k.  She was sold!!! Great news for me! I even found a vest, playing with some potential placement on the patches I acquired too. I have a lot of fun walking through the vendor areas and seeing all the bikes. I think this is a must for anyone able to make the trip even if only for a couple of days. 

Start of a new week

So with the trip for work last week being a complete waste I'm still here this week. Today I left with everything in its original working order.

So starting out this week I received a Win 7 and quickly started troubleshooting not knowing if we were going to move forward with the reload. After digging through the logs I was informed that everything was ready for the new server and I could start the install...however no software could be found. Going back to the logs I stumbled upon a SQL issue. Following the rabbit h...

Frustration 2.0

Another wonderful trip for work, working on a network with no computer. Upon leaving work on Friday the plan was just utilizing a thin client system that was previously set up by me. Upon entering the site Tuesday nothing worked. Was given a laptop and told I could work wirelessly. Only issue with this plan is the wireless is dropping connection every 45 seconds to about 1.5 minutes, making web sites difficult. You have about enough time to log into email click the message and read but if you want to change messages you lost connection and have to reconnect. Troubleshot the wired issue most if the morning, turns out network related, plugged into port wrong VLAN. Whatever not big deal I can at least access the network without having to log in every time I want to refresh a page and the Thin Client solution is working.  I get a testing station up for someone to begin testing of the virtualized system they physically built. Just wanting confirmation that it works virtually. We leave f...
