Speaking of office environments....here's mine
By Andrew Pollack on 10/02/2008 at 01:19 PM EDTI guess Paul started this -- or maybe someone else. I've seen other people's little work areas. All well and good if you don't need to ever put something down I guess. Here's my office from a few different angles. You can see that I've blocked or shaded the windows, made a ton of space around me to put stuff while I'm working, and generally created a cave environment.
The office was built as part of the addition several years ago just specifically for use as my office. Its built so that it could be used as a guest room or in-law apartment if need be, with a door wide enough for a wheel chair and direct access to the kitchen. The "Server Room" is large enough that it could be a fantastic walk in closet or bathroom (it would be easy to plumb) or a workable combination of both.
This is the view from my office, if in fact I were to unblock and look out of the window. I don't look out the window. That prevents me getting anything at all accomplished. The french doors are there (just off the picture by the white chair, as you can see in other pictures) so that if we ever sell the place nobody asks "why the hell build such a great room and not have french doors and a deck?"
Of course, I have another office, too. This is the "Officer's Seat" on Cumberland's Engine 1.

There's lots of instructions out there around using "LetsEncrypt" or whatever to generate short lived SSL certificates for Domino, but if you want to use a full blown certificate authority -- or maybe your company does self signed certificates and you want to use those, here's a quick reference.

- 01/26/2023Better Running VirtualBox or VMWARE Virtual Machines on Windows 10+ Forgive me, Reader, for I have sinned. I has been nearly 3 years since my last blog entry. The truth is, I haven't had much to say that was worthy of more than a basic social media post -- until today. For my current work, I was assigned a new laptop. It's a real powerhouse machine with 14 processor cores and 64 gigs of ram. It should be perfect for running my development environment in a virtual machine, but it wasn't. VirtualBox was barely starting, and no matter how many features I turned off, it could ......

Certainly it should have been addressed in the Trump, Obama, Bush, Clinton, Bush, and Reagan administrations -- all of which were well aware of the implications of a pandemic. I want a military prepared to help us, not just hurt other people. As an American I expect that with the ridiculous funding of our military might, we are prepared for damn near everything. Not just killing people and breaking things, but ......
