So close yet so far away

I finally am getting around to giving my new-and-improved LAN and server setup a few tests. This post is one success story. I am sitting at my PC as I usually do, but am operating it from the middle of nowhere about 140 miles away. From here I can do anything I can at home. I can check the status of my toner and ink levels right from each printer. I can change configurations of my ethernet switch. And I can see and work the desktops of every PC on the LAN. So, all the work I put into this mess for the last several months has been worth it. One dead drive notwithstanding.

There is enough redundant and recursive security measures that I hope will prevent any nastiness from occurring. So far, so good. But one never knows with Microsoft stuffs. ;)

So goes my minor geekgasm.
