Dang the website is really weird lately... links for success center all messed up and now moderation is coming back again.

Rapid acceleration to the singularity! The Singularity Is Near - Wikipedia Also between the movie "Her" and "Ex Machina" we really aren't that far off... it's pretty believable.

It would be fun to come to one of these live some time. I'm so busy with work I don't often travel as often but I do want to attend at some point. Also props to tdanner​ aka Tim Danner for all his hard work on the SolarWinds Orion API and SDK.

This is ridiculous so kiwi won't run on Windows2012R2 at all then it sounds like. I installed the free version of What's Up Gold and it's syslog server runs fine. I'm using that for now because I have mulitple DISA STIGs that requires a syslog server to be compliant. This network is basically one client machine, the…

This sounds reasonable.

That's the great thing about NCM... it not only helps with configuration management but also compliance. We replaced two other tools by using NCM.

One things for sure... it's nice to know there's a problem with something before a user calls to say it's not working! There is such a thing as over monitoring too most likely...

And considering how much I hate twitter how is this not a surprise?

I don't think you can actually...

How's Melbourne this week wabbott​?

I could see how this would help in some situations for sure! A similar issue comes up with Raspberry Pi power supplies and the Pi... they don't have a power switch at all.

The old God gave you two ears and one mouth so you should listen twice as much as you speak/talk. That's a good one for sure!

A linked list isn't a very efficient storage algorithm for anything but small lists.

I had an original Macintosh and it wasn't color by any means. The Mac 128k came out and immediately everyone realized we needed 512k at least with the extended ROMs called Mac 512E. The docking station looks pretty cool though!

Ok I figured more out: SolarWinds World Tour Houston, TX April 9, 2025 | In-Person This is the Hotel: https://www.hotelsone.com/houston-hotels-us/hotel-zaza-houston-museum-district.html and there is supposed to be reduced room rates announced soon.

I have a fascination with hummingbirds. For you Eastern coast types you have only one species the Ruby Throated Hummingbird. Here in the desert we have many more: https://www.beautyofbirds.com/hummingbirdsarizona.html 

I get the commits to git for the API... it's interesting watching what's going with Tim working on it. The comments are interesting too!

so far so good...

yep I'm getting 404 and some dog face too... on question 2

Awe it's not that bad Peter! Think about what the hint is about and is it true or false and you'll get it!

You wouldn't put that many pollers on one machine would you? I thought before more than 4 on one machine wasn't recommended? I suppose with bigger servers and VM's with more cores and memory maybe this doesn't matter anymore. I have my additonal pollers on individual VM's. Granted that means a different IP for access lists…

Zika count o.O!

I was much more upset about the OPM breach... we may never know the full cost of it...

Watch the true/false or false/true today people...

That's a relief... bummer if the upgrade adviser doesn't tell you ugh! I'm glad to hear it worked out though anyhow. I think the virtmgr integration is actually pretty forgiving. Why I just responded to this after this long is lolol?

Cool prizes this month that new wireless Oculus VR headset is pretty crazy.

I always went to brewery here in Scottsdale called Four Peaks before I had NFL Sunday Ticket... the place had all of the games on and fans all came wearing their jerseys. My advice on the phone... go Google Nexus soon to be Google Pixel and Pixel XL. Nexus 6P ftw!

I've had to deal with some of this recently when two divisions of the company merged together. This means selecting the right tools going forward and some internal competition that goes on.

We've had some real losers with some projects that tried VDI... don't get me wrong we still have some but I can think of two projects off the top of my head where the engineers tried the vdi and hated it.
