I wanted to comment directly on Hayden Kirk’s blog, but couldn’t. So here is a post linking to his to point out just how much pain he saved me on implementing 3CX on Windows Azure.

Exclaimer non descriptive error…..
“There was a general problem while updating the user’s signatures and settings during the operation” A very generic error message on a client machine running EXSYNC.EXE which other than above appeared to be ok.

Dell XPS13 Slow speeds, high CPU especially with browsers
OK, so for months now my wife has been complaining. No no, its not what you think. I am, in fact, now picking up my socks off the floor. This problem was (from my perspective) a lot worse.
