If you are in IT and have a full time gig, what would it take to sway you to consulting? Is it just money? If so, what is your number? Is it a % of your current salary or $X per year.Depends on the gig. I have done consulting. It’s [...]

Okay here’s what I’m doing – I’m trying to get this php page to connect to a Unix box and (an ESX box)
and execute some commands.
It connects fine, and even executes SOME commands just fine.
Heres the code:
<?php
$doit = "vim-cmd vmsvc/getallvms" ;
$connection = ssh2_connect(‘192.168.10.9′, 22);
ssh2_auth_password($connection, ‘root’, ‘mysecret’);
$cmd = shell_exec($doit)
if ($cmd){echo(‘pass <br><br>’);}
else{echo(‘fail<br><br>’);}
echo ($cmd);
?>
Now that if [...]

My old computer had Windows XP and Ubuntu Fiesty installed
2.8 Ghz Pentium 4

We use Veritas volumes for our raw devices for Sybase. The DBA just requested that we make our block size match theirs which is 8k. As far as I remember, you only set the block size when creating filesystems. There is no concept of block sizing at the volume level, correct?We use [...]

God, it pisses me off that Apple installed this shitty MobileMe software with their iTunes 7.7 update. If you have installed that, but haven’t noticed, it is sneakily installed with the latest version of iTunes. To uninstall it, go to Add/Remove Programs or Programs and Features in Vista, then remove the Apple Mobile [...]
We do it here at work, but I’m really not happy with either of our setups. Just wondering and interested in comparing notes with others. We drive a large area and scan for un-authorized access points or mis-configured ones for our company.
Our first setup is:
Win XP
Netstumbler
Earthstumber (convert ns1 logs to google earth)
Google Earth
Proxim Ornico Gold [...]
So, based on Deus’s thread I was wondering what everyone’s experience is here when it comes to computers. I think I may have asked this before, but I have a bad memory.
I’ve been in IT about 13 years or so now with about 4 years in PC type support (helpdesk and desktop), around 10 [...]
