Same this is BS... I typed something in the box... I typed ecklerwr1 completed the survey and it said wrong!

I've found when working in closed area networks that since there are only a handful of people to do everything you have to know all the technology. Some team members are better with some than others... of course. I do monitoring, storage, networking, windows, unix/linux, security, and supervise and mentor all at the same…

We hate the trolls on the internet under the bridge!

Hehe the first thought that came to mind was that with those guests speakers at the event... you know the software can't be cheap. For one thing none of the Bush's do many of these kinds of events at all so that's pretty rare to begin with. I'm glad SolarWinds was mentioned in there.

This is what I've been trying to tell people... splunk is great if you know regex like the back of your hand and have the time to create all the queries... if you aren't a regex expert it's a non trivial thing setting it all up.

It is an awesome shirt!

I have to agree!

Bring me a bucket!

For me one thing my 1970 Schwinn Stingray bike with monkey bars and banana seat for one! I had the single speed one, reverse pedal brakes and no shifter or disc brakes. Mine was red though like the green one on the right. Like this one... this is a 1972 one. Oh and I still wear Adidas Superstars to this day!!! Mine did had…

Now there's some ghetto spoilerage! Lololol carboard and 2x4's!

It's definately a step in the right direction but a lot has changed... it took us a little while to figure a few things out... the new ports that need to be open is one thing I can see maybe causing me some problems in production which I don't have inside my test cloud of VM's.

Mostly all SW tools now... moving a merged company over from WUG now into Orion. Remedy for trouble tickets... not a huge fan. SEP, SCOM.

I like the one about 40% of the VM's on Azure are linux... we have many linux VM's on our cloud as well.

I like the way you lay stuff out and document the changes aLTeReGo​... you've always done a good job mixing some text with pictures to make it easy to understand. Props for that!

This is really neat! As long as firewall permits the applications traffic netpath can mimic it without needing ICMP and traceroute it sounds like!

Me too... it was one of the worst in months. Also everyone else got two chances... I only got one. o.O

I don't... I think you're born with it to a degree. Also just think about people that are sociopaths... you can't reform or teach them to not be a sociopath... they just are.

Security has also changed much of Federal space... everything is about reducing risk ie. Risk Management Framework - RMF. Ironically all this hybrid and hosted stuff is basically one HUGE security risk!!!

being really annoying daily

@"the_ben_keen" I totally agree with all your sentiment. Between the thackcamps, SWUG's, Cisco Lives, and years on thwack it's been a really good journey. Usually when I have technical issues I look on thwack first before even opening any case because most often someone has been through the same thing before already. I've…

My biggest driving factor and challenge is the fact that most of the AI currently depends on the cloud for running the models. For air-gapped networks this is a problem. This means we have to build our own infrastructure and the cost is $$$$$ right now.

Lol Thomas that Apple article was funny... yes I took delivery of my new Google Pixel XL 2 and I love it! I love the MS message Do Not Turn off your PC message!

Get this we have “13000 employees” IT Operations is supporting 43% of the company’s employees externally connected: 1105 connected via our web solution 4463 connected on VPN 5568 total external employees connected You gotta think RSA, Cisco and MS must be loving the licensing going on right now with some products.

The raw water thing is totally ridiculous! Also from what I heard on the radio it can cost 70$ for a 2.5 gallon jug. As if bottled water wasn't already a rip off... now it's way way way worse!

Oh no you didn't!

I know a little about the command posts... we make something called CPOF- Command Post of The Future! We've been doing it for years.

Dang leon gets the good trips...

I did notice the AMD just dropped the price of both new processors! Also you're right about the asset management. That's really the first place everything should start as far as I'm concerned even though I hate doing asset management!

I think it's from Cisco directly.

Security is hard... I'm still trying to get my new LEM1000 installation down to do what I need it to do. It can be pretty powerful once you figure out which connectors you need. The biggest pain I'm having is which connectors to use with the linux and Solaris agents.
