Hang around with IT folks for anything longer than your typical stand-up meeting and you’re likely to hear some variation of “Managers!

It’s hot in Dubai. I mean for-real hot, and I’m a native Texan. It’s blistering, cloudless, equatorial sun Northern Hemispher-ians can’t imagine, plus the four-nines humidity of the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Mid-day it’s as shocking as a windy February night in Chicago. It hits you in the face and chest when you walk…
Even after all these years in technology, I remain in awe of IT pros.

We recently did some research into common tasks in a sysadmins day, and looked at how native tools can be taking more time than you realize. For example – let’s consider Active Directory management. When you are managing AD…
Well, December is here and you know what that means... 'tis the holiday season! December is also a huge milestone in our world as it marks a full year of the ever-so-popular monthly missions here on thwack.
