The failover went to the alternate site as planned. Thirty seconds of outage for services to come back up. Four team members go to the…

Office Depot got caught selling snake oil. RT

Wow...that person has sick skills on a guitar. I will start a thread that documents my work on the repair. RT

-Childhood movie. I remember going to the theater in 1972 to watch "The Cowboys". One of the few movies where John Wayne's character dies. Bruce Dern plays an exceptionally slimy evil person that he does so well. The Cowboys - Wikipedia RT

It is hard to keep up with the moving object called "IT Security". One way I keep current with the issues and vocabulary is to listen to Podcasts.

I love the movie Almost Famous but it is Blues Brothers that gets my vote. I doubt many will remember Blues Brothers themed booth that Solarwinds had at the 2011 VMWorld event. @danielleh might remember the booth...she gave me a hat from the booth that I still have 10 years later. This was before I was active on THWACK.

You can see outside....that's just bragging! Its almost five here. Time for them to come by and unlock the shackles in the dungeon. RT

When I started working construction in my 20's, on one of the first jobs I installed insulation. As I rolled out the fiber glass insulation....I had to install it so the words written on the side facing the room were right side up. Ahh...attention to detail....or is it OCD? RT

I am too stubborn to accept others opinion of me. Back in 1993 while working as a Sales Assistant at a small South Texas VAR, I was told by an arrogant/ignorant Novell Engineer that "You will never be able to do what I do!" I scrimped and saved to buy enough parts to build a Novell Netware 3.11 Server with software…

Howdy asheppard970​! I was born, raised and live in South Texas, but I do consume products from Scotland! Like Bunnahabhain 12 Year Old Scotch Whisky or Glengoyne 21 Year Old Scotch Whisky are some of my all time favorites. I have a love/hate relationship with the American English language. I love the odd words and hate…

I messed up and showed this around....I should have kept it for April Fools day. This makes me think that I need to check the weight limits of the floor in the data centers. Good luck!

I drink RB12 and all whisky neat as well. stevenastem like you I have tried the RB 15 and prefer the 12 YO edition. Plus, I get to save the money since the 12 is less money. RT Caution: Drinking could make you think that you are stronger then you are.

Can I load my MIB for the Panini Press? RT

I'm am ready.....are you?

The best way to clean up monitoring issues is to attack them head on. If it is a new setup build it in sections and clean up as you go. If it is an existing system for goodness sakes don't let it get out of hand. We upgrade Orion 2 to 4 times a year. The last upgrade we replaced the app server with an updated one. That…

Friend, have you heard of Impostor Syndrome? RT

Done.

sparda963 wow what a mess. The City of San Antonio basically owns the water and power companies. That coupled with abundant power generation plants and one smart "developer with a vision" built an area in the city where power and data service is redundant. Cyrusone, Microsoft and many others have data centers there. RT

Joshua Biggley Can you post a clean copy of the spread sheet? My hand written notes are a mess after two days. RT
