Our last child was born during our start-up. I had to learn to compartmentalize. Your wife will need your help, and that usually means a solid focus as opposed to a I'll-listen-to-you-while-I-tap-away-on-my-smartphone kind of focus.
My schedule has remained the same since: I make breakfast for my family almost everyday, and I block out 5:30-8:30 every night for the kids, and 8:30-10:00 for me and the wife. After she goes down I get back to work and plug away until around 1 or so.
So far so good. No divorce papers have been served yet. :)
Our company is a supporter of Utah PRIDE, a non-profit organization committed to standing up for the rights of Gay, Lesbian, Bi-sexual, and Transgender citizens of our great state. UP maintains a small office where we donate our software to ensuring that their systems are secure, and continually operating.
After reading about Neil's offer, I realized that we could go a couple of steps further and actually go into their organization and give them free training and ongoing support in securing their computers.
We've attended the BoS '08 and '09 conferences and loved them, but our sales have taken a very dramatic decline in the past 14 months, and the decision was made in early spring to opt out of this years conference. It was purely economical.
Ahh yes, the expensive deployment options. Too true. You can use Admin Arsenal. (www.AdminArsenal.com). It has a 30-day fully functional trial so as a one-time option you can do the cert deployment at no cost. Plus, Admin Arsenal doesn't use agents and is installed on your workstation, so it doesn't require its own server.
If you want to keep it the licensing is simple - per administrator, regardless of the number of systems that you manage.
