Have fun! Jason's working another double shift. The third this week.

Most of the time I work from home, like right now

 

[W@LL-E]

Are they left on so you can access them when ever you can?

Most of the time I can turn them on remotely

What is the origin of DizDragonFly?

Hmmm, well, Diz is for Disney. And my favorite book of all time is Dragonfly in Amber (part of the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon). I started collecting dragonfly trinkets about 14 years ago. So, I was trying to come up with something that hadn't been taken and I combined the two things.

I'm very very glad that Jason doesn't bring his work home with him.

That's Karen

Just trying to understand how you do that. Whenever my BIL remote access' my computer I have to log on to whatever program it is and the he takes over. I already have my computer on. Are these computers in sleep mode or something? Just wondering.

Ditto. Thank you for sharing.

Unfortunately, sometimes I work on vacation. But, seeing how that enables us to visit the mouse & his boats 5-8 times a year, the boss doesn't complain

Thanks and you're welcome.

No, they are turned off. I turn them on with a feature called WOL (wake on lan).

It's been almost 8 months since we've visited the mouse! I am so looking forward to this September!

I'd have to complain loudly if Jason brought his work on vacation. Keeping an eye on two teenagers is bad enough, adding inmates to that equation doesn't sound like fun to me.

Too cool! I'll Julioogle it!

I usually work after we get back to our resort.

I think the best punishment would be to shackle them to the boat on It's A Small World all day!

I couldn't ever get that working right on my home network. I wanted the server to wake them up to back them up automatically. Oh well. I have to add another hard drive to the server anyway. There's no room left.

No wonder you joined DVC, "Free" Internet.

I think OKW is too nice for them.

BOTH the NIC & Mobo have to be WOL compliant
