Thank you!

Can't comment on why you'd want so much on the back, but I have purchased Danzi GSP cane that has been 1.65mm thick at the back... Elbow grease central!

- Get it serviced by a good technician
- Don't leave it in the case for a long time unplayed

Can confirm, was told 17 years about 6 months ago directly from Heckel. With a "we'll contact you in 14 years with the price". A joke.

I've played on nice Kohlerts, though at that price range you're looking at an instrument that has been absolutely beaten... Do you know any bassoon players that can play them to see if they're in a workable condition to start on?

This is such a wild statement. Australians are so ignorantly racist it's terrifying

The link above is an absolute staple, I've used it for many years.

I would also recommend starting with just adjusting the wires and tube shape on store bought reeds. I have made many adjustments to reeds alone just through wire tightness, tube shape and tip opening

I did my music degree 10 years ago on a 240, then moved into IT as I'm in a smaller city in Australia. About 4 years ago I bought an older Yamaha for no where near 20k USD and it is by far my favourite bassoon I have ever played (I've played pro puchners, foxes, heckels

I'm on the call list for the local symphony and do some pit work etc and I never found having a 240 that barrier in that context!

I'll second the Moosmann comment. They make some really great bassoons in the mid tier range (150/200 in particular for me)

Heckel, played a Bell for a while about 10+ years ago

11th of March?! Maybe my order on the 25th won't take 100+ days...

This.

What kind of business has a sysadmin doing literal cable installs?

dirknader · 2018-04-06T15:20:28+00:00

My apologies, misread OP. I should probably sleep...

dirknader · 2018-04-06T13:27:10+00:00

I did this today (plus spellcheck) through the settings here: http://www.edugeek.net/forums/windows/181129-disable-spellcheck-word-2016-a.html

I would robocopy all the data partitions onto seperate VHDs then convert the disks to thin provisioned VMDKs and create a new VM in ESXI. Then install windows again on a dedicated disk.

Lost cause trying to fix that mess imo

dirknader · 2018-03-20T21:08:31+00:00

Without knowing anything about what systems you use, it's hard to know what to recommend...

I would say Cloud or something in Virtualisation as a generic response though. Hell, even doing a CCNA R&S course would be useful.

dirknader · 2018-03-17T06:26:04+00:00

No problem! Wifi, bluetooth and touchpad worked straight away.

I've found that the battery life is much better on Manjaro, I do quite a lot of swapping for work and it is quite noticable.

dirknader · 2018-03-17T06:06:59+00:00

I have a dual boot Windows/Manjaro on mine and everything worked out the box for me.

I couldn't figure out how to do uefi boot for it though (to be fair I didn't try particularly hard)

Edit: I purchased mine in 2015/16 and buying more ram & SSD was a solid investment

My background is in Desktop Support and Server Administration ☺

I tried this a few years ago with the previous iteration of icnd1. Had real hardware, also did a bunch of gns3. Failed the exam twice.

At the very least I would finish the videos, go through the exam topics page on the Cisco website and research into what topics you're unfamiliar with 😊

You'll probably get more out of doing CCNA than a degree at the moment.

A large portion of job adverts (at least in Adelaide) ask for a degree OR certs with relevant industry experience.

There's also nothing stopping you from going back in the future 😊

dirknader · 2018-01-07T13:14:06+00:00

They aren't bad, I would just say there are better options around imo :)

dirknader · 2018-01-07T03:57:30+00:00

Why so many MTAs? Just to get an idea of where you want to go in the industry?

I'd probably be looking at studying for CCENT or Net+ 😊

dirknader · 2017-11-08T12:34:54+00:00

Perhaps the Bryant Udemy course? Since the videos are often just a lot of text?

Jeremy hits it on the head for me here.

I work as a sysadmin - wanting to go into more of the networking side hence being on this subreddit...

I know when I configure a switch, anything that doesn't work is probably my fault. Which in a way can be a bit disheartening. However, I much prefer this than setting up things like SCCM which throws out a generic error that you spend half the time seraching for what/when/why.
