If you see a Thwack hammock in the trees out front, it's just me reserving a spot in the ticket line! Thwack 2017 or Bust!!! Man, I thought Franklins was bad, four months......that is a long wait! RT

To the winners: Enjoy, but do not let the Netflix destroy your mind!! 

wabbott​ we will all miss you. Safe travels and good luck on your future endeavors!. Paul

Security is a process, not a goal. RT

I missed it last year.....setting the DVR now!

The stuff of nightmares.... Ex-Admin Deletes All Customer Data and Wipes Servers of Dutch Hosting Provider Remember this the next time someone asks you for elevated permissions. Insider threats are a real thing, folks. (HT to Radioteacher for pointing me to this story over the weekend.)

I push every engineer that walks through the door to build what is needed for today...do not just tack on to the existing network. I say "How would you build this if it was new?" and "Would you have built it this way?" RT

I have had the number one issue before.....

One part I know that monitoring save for us is time. Time is money. The team uses Orion and many of its modules to shrink the time it takes to resolve every issue. Prior to 2003 our growing enterprise was for the most part not monitored. We had a feebly managed HP Openview system. It was like a toddler. Sometimes it would…

Can I get an "Thanks Orion!" t-shirt?

I briefly met Lawrence a few years ago at VMWorld. He, his guidance and his coding will be missed forever. My condolences to to his family and extended family. I can only pray that now he is at peace and ::1. RIP

This is when I get nervous.....

Wow that took long enough! I took another run at it after lunch and found the answer. Last months mission got me looking for Dr Seuss rhyme every time. It is nice to finally find it. Have fun everyone! RT

Over the past three years I have enjoyed listening to Security Podcasts. I find it educational and relaxing. I equate it to listing to blues music. When you listen to the Blues, you realize that your problems are nothing compared to the people singing. They are singing about living with real problems. Same goes for…

These mission questions are making me nervous because I really want to be in the running for the grand prize. My turntables date from the 1970's and 1980's and need replacing. RT

I have been trying to get this phrase made into a button or T-shirt for Solarwinds or Thwack. Plus, if you think about the topic, patching and rights management might be the only hope to secure systems and networks in the future. RT

On Thwack....prepare to wake up. Thwack = Caffeine RT

Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem!!!! I cannot wait until live concerts startup again so I can see Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem!

Welcome brett.holzhauer ! The only advice I have is from the founder of my company. He said, “If we take good care of our customers, the numbers will take care of themselves.” Hint.....A dark theme would be nice..... RT

Prior to 1993, my primary way to earn a living was in the construction trades but I was enthusiastic other things. I really enjoyed my Amateur Radio hobby/service, working with computers and reading about computers in InfoWorld. I mixed my radio and computer love in 1986 by getting into the AX.25 protocol over radios…

CTRL-C and CTRL-V are old friends of mine. 

I am sure a Lab Coat would work just as well.

It's not a BNC....but it is coax and about that size.

A friend and I were supporting an race event on the Guadalupe river called the Texas Water Safari with Amateur Radio Communications (Digital and Voice) in the late 1980's out of his motor home. Who wants to paddle a canoe for 260 miles....non stop...for a trophy? We were parked near the river taking down boat numbers as…

They have great skill...but I would have removed the strings, added glue and a clamp. That is an easy break to fix. RT

I guess not that many people have see A Mighty Wind.

Congrats! rarbuckle1892​ Tintim​ jvaughan@connectria.com​ I was there last year and it was quite a show. This year they have made many improvements and refinements for those attending in person. It is going to be a blast! RT P.S. You win, now it is your turn to drink from the fire hose!

The AMD issues are real but I am not sure if the threats have a direct attack vector. I rode to work today. Here is an older picture of my 2008 Victory Vision. 42,000+ miles on it and still going strong. Ride Safe! RT
