As a firefighter my ESD works with various hospitals to makes sure we (members of the 7 departments both volunteer and paid) have access to free flu shots every year as well as various other vaccines at no charge since we come in contact with those things. In some ways I see flu shots like smoke detectors. Flu these days…

Wish I could vote this up multiple times.... ! But it appears they are working on it...probably need to see what is in NPM 12.

This has been going on in the private sector for years now. We get monthly phishing test emails...some are crafted quite well. If you fail to report them and click on the link you get notified by cybersecurity after 2 or more. Continued failures by blindly clicking on the links may get you counseled or put on a corrective…

not a network guy so I don't have those headaches...

Especially with rollups, if you don't have critical info as to things like bandwidth, you have a hard time telling the overall effect over time if you periodically upgrade your circuits.

Thursday bump...

Sounds like fun... I'm in !

Ah yes, the what was old is new again but with the names changes to provide for new marketing to the unsuspecting. Don't knock the old hardware. I still have an old IBM Thinkpad (200Mhz Pentium) running windows 95. Why do you ask ? Some commercial type radio programming software requires access to a true DOS environment…

scuff​, I did that years ago and in the new world still attempt to build monitoring that allows the stakeholder to be able to make adjustments in thresholds and such so as to not involve us every time they need to make a tweak. This allows for more simplistic monitoring and alerting rules so that what you build follows the…

The cloud layer is a variable in which we have no control...a total wild card in the equation at best. Yes I have seen cloud apps be unavailable...

Lets make it a #bumpsquad​ bump !

That would be firing from an open bolt or a slam fire.

Actually a Paper Tiger is not a complementary title. In other words you look good on paper but don't have the skills to back it up. Most paper tigers are just looking for the paper to put on the walls in order to look good.

We have been headed that way for the last several years now...I am not sure we will get there but we are getting closer to having the "application environment" better documented so we can see and understand the relationships for each application, it's servers, and how everything interconnects.

Hybrid IT environments will likely be more the norm across the entire IT sector, both public/private industry as well as Federal. We all face pretty much the same challenges every day.

This follows an idea that I have out there... see http://thwack.solarwinds.com/ideas/2655 If you could integrate the data from your other websites into something that can be imported or added via batch, then hopefully the calendar concept will work for you too. The main thing is to have it usable be all aspects of the…

Does volunteer consulting for a non profit county public safety organization count ? (county volunteer fire department Emergency Services District)

Monday Morning without enough caffeine yet bump.

it was added 9/16/19 likely after the mission was written.

Could be.... 3 more votes to hit 200 !!!

Congrats to all !! Pizza and Solarwinds Swag...sounds like a fine day to me !

refraction and gravity wells have something in common...they both bend light. It is via a gravity lens(refraction/bending of light rays around a dense object) that they can determine that a black hole exists.

Monday Mayhem Bump ! #bumpsquad​

30 minutes after noon bump..okay, 32 minutes after noon.

Don't plug it in... block it at the firewall...nothing in , nothing out. Use a separate wireless network that has no way to get to the internet or other networks.

I still use pseudocode in designing monitoring. Case in point, I am working with a tool for MQ monitoring with an external table for individual thresholds. In trying to build out a tiered based alerting structure I was building the new table in excel while writing pseudocode for the queries that supported the different…

Good stuff here scuff‌ , It looks like microsoft is trying to lead the way for better integration/one stop shop for applications/OS regardless of platform. It may allow them to better compete with Apple and the Android market but we will see hopes this bears out over time. Some of these new things look to be very…

Don't forget ROT occurs at an accelerated rate when it is aggregated and the high points and low points disappear.

Sadly it was the first time I made it as a bacon wrapped delicacy. I have obviously been missing out. The other time I smoked the tenderloins was also very good but that was a couple of years ago and I forgot what I did. I seemed to have worked out the smoker my wife got me for Christmas when I was recovering from neck…

This could be a very promising discussion...
