Ugh. How many dialogs do you need to go through to delete a file? I’m sticking with it. It is part of my job and, eventually, we’ll deploy it. But not right now. Wow. I can’t wait until I get our ERP system database independent. I gave up on IIS7/PHP/Ruby and loaded Apache. Ubuntu Server and Postgres look like a good upgrade from Windows 2000 and SQL Server 2000. For a company our size we’ve only got a few key apps that require Windows. XP’s handling those just fine. Unless you’ve got a compelling reason to upgrade…don’t. Even if you’ve got Software Assurance hold off. For a (hopefully) more pleasant IT journey, I’ll be getting my Grandstream SIP phone tomorrow and will be integrating that with my homemade Asterisk box (Trixbox). I don’t think I’d use it for EVERYTHING, but at least a conference server.
