I would have to agree on this. It appears as if both yesterdays and today's questions are based upon a perspective or point of view that is assumed by the person who set up the questions and not apparent to the numerous people attempting to answer. Just a theory..

Oh yeah !

Googles data gathering/processing is even more insidious. They read your email and then pop up schedule reminders (say for a bill that has a due date coming up). I encountered this recently on my phone....that is pretty much beyond what they should do.

Sounds good...add some onions and Jalepeno's to it and then we are talking some good stuff!!

packets are like a box of chocolates without the correct checksum you never know what you are going to get.

That and KB articles....probably in many ways not that far apart.

mrs.alterego​ I have noticed a disparity in how points are displayed in various locations since the latest update. That is after refreshing all source pages.... Normally they are relatively in sync but I have seen this much of a difference in which all three are different values.

the public wants plug and play...no effort on their part. Anything else is too complicated and they lose what little patience they have and don't follow through not to mention they don't read and conprehend instructions either.

funny thing is that although I have an android phone, I still carry my old iphone 3gs to use as an ipod....

Back from small vacation bump!

It's been a long time since the last bump...bump ! #bumpsquad​

Pre Hump Day Texas Heat Wave Bump !!!

I remember when we (my family) bought our first electronic calculator. All it did was add, subtract, multiply, and divide. A simple TI calculator that cost about $100 back in the early 70's. It was the greatest thing since sliced bread at the time. It's funny that with demise of the CD to mp3 format music and streaming…

Sweet...bonus survey complete ! Just have to answer 1 more question tomorrow !

While I am glad to see that WPM finally got some love, I am disappointed that the final question about our wanting more info/demo product is a pass/fail for the mission. In the guise of prior missions it can be a trigger for more info and such or not. Choosing to not get the more information/demo should not be a red X and…

We are so busy trying to maintain current monitoring, add new requested monitoring, add new production application servers and all their new monitoring as our infrastructure grows that even trying to keep Orion versions up to date is challenging. I guess I could use my free time away from work...oh wait, that's my almost…

It certainly muddies the waters when it comes to monitoring...my biggest concern other than having a good framework that allows for required point solutions is not being allowed to view into the cloud... If you aren't allowed at the very least SNMP you are likely reduced to ping only if you are lucky. Now you only have…

need to be able to designate a scheduled task as up or down depending on if it is running or not within it's allotted "time period"

Monday morning #bumpsquad​ bump while looking for coffee. My Death Wish coffee order arrives later today...

I was hired once to migrate from Solarwinds to HP Openview...and then told to make it look like Orion <facepalm>. The Cliff notes reference is my current place of employment where the role was to migrate from an old unicenter EM Console to Orion. None of the rules in the EM console were documented nor were any of the…

There is a new flir camera that works with DJI inspire and some of the larger drones... The imagery is crazy...blows the doors off the flir on the police helicopters. Runs about $7000. You can see the hotspots inside a building at night.... For search and rescue, you can set it to show only a certain range of…

I'm signed up...counting down the days...

It is funny how someone comes up with a new buzzword and hypes it in the trade rags and before long it is the new thing to do. Then a decade or so later someone rebadges it into a new buzzword and it all happens again... It is all a big cycle with a bunch of smaller cycles built it...

this probably happens in real life more than you really want to know.....

not yet....

Thanks Danielle... it is still showing locked.

Ah yes, the 80-20 rule. It applies to so many things in IT. This did provide an excellent example though.

Fewer files will be sent over time a hashes are created representing threats or not. This is not unlike what riverbed (www.riverbed.com) does for WAN optimization. They cache files in appliances at a branch location so that you don't have to repeatedly send the file. We did this for MSDS safety sheets and other required…

The coffee is the robusto bean with a higher caffeine content thus is more bitter. I mix it with another arabica bean based coffee to smooth it out some. Personally I'd do both, drink the coffee and crush up a no-doze and run around in circles. caffeine achievers unite !!!

Congrats jdion280​ !!! Let us know how that Hammock works...pictures or it didn't happen.
