@Aki - I don't know of many single programmers who have created a commercial software "single-handedly". I know some guys who have created open source software single-handedly, but they admit to code reuse, so in actual sense, they haven't quite done it single-handedly per se. You know Timo Sirainen (Dovecot), Philip Hazel (Exim), Wietse Venema (Postfix), just to mention a few. Microsoft has created Windows and a couple other software, but you know how many thousands of programmers are involved in that. You say that "I try to crusade for local ICT software/hardware/specialist development", but you haven't tried to assemble the team to achieve that, and worse still, you remain faceless... I am not sure how to pull you out of that well, my brother. On Mon, Feb 20, 2012 at 21:05, aki <aki275@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi @Wash, just some comments, not a thread hijack. :-)
In as much as I try to crusade for local ICT software/hardware/specialist development, am also stuck in the deepest end of the wells in the consumer chain. Meaning even I too cannot create everything and would have to find a software to make things work, as I do with e.g Acronis. It will be impossible to produce everything--literally--whether we have another 100 years to do so because the ICT sector is too diverse. What are our chances to be producers, not assemblers, because of the style of economic system? Around 0.0001%. Based on this figure, I'd not be surprised that the Tech Cities will be 99% extensions of large international or local corporates looking at local and regional markets, while also looking at local hires to fill the usual positions except core production because of boxed units. That is why most of all other sectors like marketing/sales/finance/legal/ICT Hardware are doing well and the education system based to produce this outcome each year. But nowhere is there any room for local ICT production.
Which also begs the question as to why our local dot net programmers have not created software on windows systems such as the one in question on this thread. But try we must if we can, who knows things could change in the future. * *:-)
Rgds.

Hi Skunks, Need a solution for mirroring a windows server to a remote site (the way banks and universities work). Any ideas?
Okay. I haven't anay experience how Banks & Universities work, but it appears to me that you have a lead on this. Why not ask them what they use?
In the general look if things though, I'd love to understand what you intend to achieve with this mirroring and I can figure out either a @Steve way of doing it or an @Aki way :-) Sorry - several @Aki ways have been given to you already, so unless you need some @Steve (I belong to the school of thought) ways of doing the same, I should assume you are already sorted!
