Peripherals and the urge to upgrade

I've recently noticed my mouse charge levels starting to drop, and this has re-awakened the urge to upgrade.

But I shant!  They shall be run to destruction this time around the consumer wheel...getting pretty good mileage out of them so far!

  1. Primary monitor - Dell 2405FPW - the venerable first 24" Ultrasharp panel from Dell.  It cost a fortune back then (like $1500?), but I've had it now for 8-9 years!  The only real issue with it is power consumption...it uses something like 140-150w (kill-a-watt-verified), and puts out most of that as heat.  Heck, they have 60" TVs that use less than half that nowadays.
  2. Secondary monitors - Dell 2007FP - 16x12 resolution, Ultrasharp quality.  Except the corners of the screen have worn out and the backlight shows through a little.  Can't really complain - they were given in lieu of a raise by a previous employer.  I've used them in landscape and portrait modes, not perfect in portrait mode.  Currently three mounted on the wall above the 'work area' portion of my desk.
  3. Mice - Logitech MX Revolution - I have two of these, one at work, one at home.  It has a nice dock.  Reasonably comfortable, battery life has been fine, but I've noticed it lessening as of late.  I got them both used off Kijiji for something like $40 a piece, in operation 2-3 years now.
  4. Keyboards - Logitech Illuminated Keyboard (wired) - I really love these keyboards.  The shift key ('run' key...if you get my drift) on my home setup (you see the trend) is acting up, but not enough that I'll replace it.  That one is 5 years old now, the work unit is 2-3 years old.  If I really was pushed to gripe, it'd be that the number pad and bezel makes it about an inch too wide...but really, not that big of a deal.
A key point with my peripherals is that my wife and I agreed that ergonomics (and the unfortunate pricetag associated with it) is a necessary expense.  I am the 'breadwinner' of the family, so keeping my eyes/hands in top shape for a LONG time is kinda important.  A few thousand bucks over my lifetime is kinda peanuts versus surgery or loss of employment.

My options are:
  1. Monitors: I am still on the fence about this new trend of glossy monitors...I do find that once you get used to the reflection issues, it's much nicer to use than the matte-surfaced monitors.  I'd probably get the 27" Ultrasharp with 2500x1500 or whatever it is resolution.  UWXGABBQ+ or something.  Secondary monitors I'd probably have to go with a 'wide' monitor this time around.  And probably just one to start.  Three monitors isn't as helpful as it sounds.  Four just gets un-usable unless you have multiple computers behind them - which I often do.
  2. Mice: Razer 'looked' good.  But the reviews.  And the 'features'.  Wow.  I'd probably go with one of the gaming-grade Logitech units, and give up my precious dock feature.  I don't mind spending money, but more than $100 for a mouse and it better be the second coming of mice.
  3. Keyboards: I will replace these with the same thing.  They are that good.  The only features I miss are silly things like what you get on the G15 et al..
Whee.  Peripherals.  I'm still amazed the 2405FPW is running, and even more amazed that I still consider it one of the best all-around monitors I've ever used.

Learning through failure - a keyboard creation journey

Image
tl;dr Built a custom keyboard cuz I have weirdo nerve pain issues.   Learned a lot cuz I failed a lot.   Maybe 'do it right the first time' is a bad frame of mind.   The keyboard ended up being kinda nifty.   It has lights, and a trackball, and QMK, and it helps my issues.   \o/ ( tl;dr is internet lingo that means, too long; didn't read ) Pain as a key ingredient An old proverb says, 'necessity is the mother of invention', and that is how this story begins. Over the last few years, age or stress or something has caught up with me and I developed the need to change my human-to-computer interface.  Mousing changed to trackballing.  The traditional keyboard was swapped out for an ergonomic, and then split keyboard.  Complicated multi-finger-and-hand key combinations were replaced by single keypress macros.  And yet more was still needed. It's often said that change only happens with pain - indeed, the organizations many of us work in seem to apply this as law - an

Learning Opportunities - Watching/listening list

Over the last year I've spent a lot of time learning (thank you, long commute & lunch hours).  Many topics ranging from Chef to DevOps to architecture concepts to management concepts and everything in between.  Why have I done this? DevOps Demystified with Ben Rockwood: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5E--QSBVBY DevOps at ancestry.com: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pF5ya0q53kk Those two presentations were key in sending me down this road.  First, and most important, was Mr. Rockwood's explanation as to the real 'why', and the point behind DevOps from an operational perspective.  Second, and no less important but for a different reason, the continuous delivery system at ancestry.com really made it real to me because they are a 'Windows shop'.  So much of what I'd been reading about Chef/config mgmt. relied on amazing tools (see the error there?) only available to the Linux world.  Suddenly here's this guy telling me that it's possible on

DFSR - eventid 4312 - replication just won't work

This warning isn't documented that well on the googles, so here's some google fodder: You are trying to set up replication for a DFS folder (no existing replication) Source server is 2008R2, 'branch office' server is 2012R2 (I'm moving all our infra to 2012R2) You have no issues getting replication configured You see the DFSR folders get created on the other end, but nothing stages Finally you get EventID 4312: The DFS Replication service failed to get folder information when walking the file system on a journal wrap or loss recovery due to repeated sharing violations encountered on a folder. The service cannot replicate the folder and files in that folder until the sharing violation is resolved.    Additional Information:  Folder: F:\Users$\user.name\Desktop\Random Folder Name\  Replicated Folder Root: F:\Users$  File ID: {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}-v0  Replicated Folder Name: Users  Replicated Folder ID: 33F0449D-5E67-4DA1-99A
