Done. Ok not my best work...

At one time I heard they had a Jack Henry supported system...Late 80's???? I am not sure.

I missed this...interesting.

I wonder if someone out there said, "Why don't they run S3 in the cloud?" RT

I like catching fish....fishing for fish is boring to me. Sailing on a South Texas bay (like Aransas Bay) can be really relaxing. RT

I ride both motorcycles and bicycles. One concept I have never understood is gloves the do not cover the fingers, called fingerless gloves. That is a great name for them since if you meet the road or trail at speed, your fingers are the first to pay for your crash. Friends do not let friends use fingerless gloves or public…

If I was a normal person I would make normal salary. 

That is a good plan to have guitars setup for the tunings you use. It is better for the player and for the intonation of the guitar. My friends were watching an unpluged version of the song Plush on youtube and the acoustic was tuned down a whole step. No one could play along...I could transpose some on the fly but not…

I am not a VOIP person....but I am learning a little more every day. RT

Jfrazier I could ping its peer IP. That would be the simplest way to monitor it. I will ping the peer and name it something ominous like "MPLS at location X outage". That will get some attention. The way I found out it was down....A Solarwinds user has been tracking a certain systems usage with netflow everyday. Today the…

I think I read that as 10 years as an Microsoft MVP! >>>Happy that the edit feature of Thwack let's me correct my post so I look smart! RT

So true silverbacksays​. But on other missions I am fish out of water. When they do the VOIP Quality I have to read and study it all. The last time the Mission was about VOIP, I would bug the phony guys about the subject of the day. RT

How fake is Spinal Tap. They have played Saturday Night Live and Wembley Stadium. Not to mention multiple albums of original music..

Next up the September 2015 mission!!!

I have been using many SW modules since 2011. One that we added last year that gets a lot of use is User Device Tracker. UDT is great and works with IPAM and NPM to make my life easy. The one thing that I feel holds back NPM from being a complete tool is that you have to buy SAM as a separate item. I cannot think of two…

An elliptical trainer and rowing machine. She must love for you very much....and she wants you to live a long time. I just got a Fitbit Flex to let me know how much I need to move around. The fitbit works with my companies wellness program and MapMyRide (that I use with my mountain bike to work). RT

Yes to the first question...no to the second. VNQM is one of the few I do not have. RT

You get PerfStack, you get AppStack, you get Netpath and you all get it in Orion!!!! RT

My favorite Cyber Security article from yesterday is on Russian Spy's getting caught red handed. Two got off of the plane with consecutive passport numbers. I guess the GRU is really off of its game. How Russian spies bungled cyber-attack on weapons watchdog | World news | The Guardian

Do not be in the same room with B.R.A.D. while working a mission question out!!! See for yourself!!! https://youtu.be/mKboQE9P-tc

The Mouser catalog replaced the Heathkit and Sears catalog for gift giving at my house. http://www.mouser.com/ DigiKey Electronics - Electronic Components Distributor http://www.jameco.com/ RT

I am not one of the 14 this month....but I still feel like a winner just participating in this months mission. Now on to Mission September 2014!!!! RT

The team waited until I was on vacation and called in the trash truck. It was so sad. RT

This is probably the hardest decision I will make all month. Blues Brothers! They went from a campy skit to a movie franchise. I will let you know that I have sold a house, hired multiple contractors and will sign papers to buy a new house in about a week and NONE of those decisions compare to this one. Paul

That explains it. I was thinking that they formed a gravity well. RT

Hey everybody!!! It's install and upgrade time!!! RT

Hello Jeremy. I am Radioteacher (also 20 for 20) and I and a thwackaholic.... RT

Thank you @jm_sysadmin, ukzmix , bobmarley. Like me, security is a work in progress. RT 

I am also missing Q1 for System Admin. I have words for both the Security and Systems Q1's that make sense to me but maybe I am seeing patterns where they do not exist. Just picture the shed in the movie "A Beautiful Mind" and you know how I am trying to work this out. Maybe there is a clue in the New York Times Crossword…

I can see there is some value in this....It will be nice to watch how this unfolds. The company I work for is very conservative so I cannot think this is in my (near term) future.....but who knows. It is an amazingly nice polished interface. RT
