Not really a disaster. It just gets complicated when I am not in office. And I only have laptop screen to use. No other monitors to make my life easy.
Wait, while I was typing, just realized something. So what if monitors at home are broken. I have a TV I can use!

We used (in my old place) a similar setup to provide access to a control system for the vendor,
Vendor -> Citrix App Server -> RDP (Onshore Engineering Station) -> RDP (offshore Engineering Station) -> RDP (Operator Stations)
or something along that lines.
A few years back, I have actually caught myself out once at home when I managed to lock myself out of my own computer I was on, and could only recover by powering it down. I had RDPd across to a VM at my ISP and then meant to then rdp to another machine somewhere, but accidently RDPd back into the machine I had started from (I had enabled RDP on it so I could access it when offshore), This then locked me out of everything.

Epic. Just like creating time machine and going to current time. Then, stopping yourself from creating time machine. So now, you are in now and cannot get to real now since you don't have time machine in this (real? fake?) now you are in. Hey Einstein, where you at? SOS

I think it's very refreshing to access my work station in generally the same way a hacker would.

And then a popup says "A required update will be installed...save your work...rebooting in 60 seconds"
But it doesn't give any indication which machine is being "fixed".

How did you know this? It is actually true! Except that I knew which computer was it.

Hey, this is great!
I actually know the fix for this!
Disable onedrive.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

Interestingly enough I was about to post a rage about onedrive when this happened (it happens if click on the link that is meant to show me how much space I have, as they've decided to take 10Gb away from everyone).
OneDrive is by far the worst piece of software MS have ever released in the wild.
And, yes, I include Vista and Clippy
I have about 10Gb of data that I use just for a backup - and I have had to entirely re-upload it at least 6 times this year because something just plain goes wrong!
Put it together with Office, where it frequently just tells me it can't upload a document, and gives no reason or fix, and it's part of the reason I have to take 1/2 aspirin every day.

Oh, Jeeze; that office 911, or whatever they call it, is the most dangerous bit of software in the world.
Trust it only if you have a death wish.

I hear you!
I mean, I know multi-client synchronisation is complex - really it is very complex - but it seems that both Apple and Microsoft are happy to unleash synchronization software that plain doesn't work as you'd expect (or at all!)
Still, now they have OneDrive Business or whatever it's called, which must be better, right?

Well, your account had very little space left. So they removed these DLLs. Now you have enough space but can't use it. Lose lose situation.

Vunics post about kids and cars reminds me of some of the more unusual things we teach our kids.
For me, I remember one evening while during a heated discussion with my daughter. I was following her as she stormed off to her bedroom yelling at the top of her voice (I was probably yelling at her about her lack of pedigree).
Anyway, as she when into her bedroom she pathetically slammed the door. I open the door and yelled at her that if she is going to slam the door at least do it properly. So I show how to do. You put one foot here, the other there and give the door to good swing. (complete with a full demonstration). The whole house shook and reverberated and I turned round to see the look on her face, it was priceless. She wanted to laugh but couldnt because she was still trying to be upset.
When I got back to the kitchen the missus wanted know want the hell was going on and I had to explain it was just me teaching my daughter how to slam a door properly.
So, want the weirdest thing you've had to teach your kids?

Software development?

Tried that with the son, but he was interested in just gaming.

That's not a bad thing. Make some games with him.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.
"I don't know, extraterrestrial?"
"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."
If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.

I agree. I've been going through some Unity tutorials with my sons. You can make simple games quite easily.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

You know those big trucks hauling a trailer of cars? I taught my kids that it's a pirate truck that captures cars and steals naughty kids to sell to the Chinese as slaves.

We told ours the car won't go unless the seat belts stay on. Worked until one of them experimented

For the moment I read them comic books (not the X-man, Spiderman, .. type, I'm talking about the real stuff here ), which works fine because at one point he was saving a Lego princess with his Lego knights and just when the bad guys were killed and the princess was saved he said "Die Princess !" and he stabbed here with the good guy's Lego spear.
On another occasion he was talking to himself. "I'm the Prince of Darkness!"
I think that he will come out very well in this world .
PS: yes, true story. But he's actually very sweet and well behaved, he just has a wild imagination.
