You don't? :D

I only trust APC. Sometimes they overcharge batteries, but I still think they are by far the better brand.

PSA: Check your UPS batteries. The APC self-test routine did not pick these up.

The pattern on the walls is created by the lampshade, I don't have any pictures of it but imagine a ball of oversized paperclips that have been bent out of shape - it's something close to that. The blades only run when I need them - I have a switched PDU so I can turn them on and off...

When the blades aren't running about 10 hours.

Some more pictures from home... First there's the networking lab, this doesn't see much use these days... These two run, along with the tape library, look after the house services, AD, DNS etc One can never have too much UPS... I mostly use the blades for testing things now...

The new servers are in at home..

It's a 13" rMBP (3GHz i7, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD) Yes it is Bowtie and the theme is Rolli.

Just bought this to replace a 2011 MacBook Air - I'm pretty pleased.

Buy a router that supports multiple WAN IP addresses. You may find that one of your current ones already does.

I recently got this iPad dock. Makes a big difference. Not much point showing my mac setup, I'd just be taking a picture of my lap with a macbook on it...

When does a closet become a room?

Given the low outside temperatures you could just pipe in air from outside - that could save a lot of money in terms of air conditioning. This assumes you are in an area where the outside temperature is reasonably low all year round.

Nothing else on the local network or internet, by IP address or hostname.

Yes, everything is on a 10.0.0.0/24 subnet.

It gives the two correct DNS Servers 10.0.0.50 and 10.0.0.51, and the IP address of the VPN server as the router, which I assume is correct?

Users can ping, and access resources on the VPN server itself when connected, but nothing else on the local network. I have tried disabling the firewall.

Okay, I always had a simple VPN set up in RRAS on server 2003, using a policy to allow users in the 'VPN Users' group to log in and access the internet and other network resources. I have set up the same in server 2012, and users in that group are able to connect, are given an IP address but...

You and me both, made patching much simpler too...

Have you looked at Spiceworks, I don't rate it personally, but a lot of people really like it.

It's an amplifier for the speakers up on the wall. Better sound than modern digital shit.

You'll get more rack pictures as soon as I get around do it. Bear with me, I'm working on Uni assignments at the moment so I'm kinda busy. In the meantime, here's my desk.

There will be more photos and words and things very soon... What does everyone want to see?

I get about 3-4 hours out of that. It's a 3000VA UPS. You're right, I did hide something.
