Day before the fall equinox i wonder what that means?

Wow part 3 already! I watched the movie again this past week. It's a different kind of superhero movie for sure and sad to see Hugh go as the character we know and love! He's a force multiplier we will sorely miss.

Backups are one of my least favorite technologies but it is important.

In simple terms it seems like all this dev ops stuff is really about doing smaller things quickly.

I'm using the linux agent from SW for all my linux now... it works great and covers most everything.

You can always count on me with anything that make things easier.

How does the get database name part work in SAM... I'm interested now?

I try to make the weekends a break as much as possible. I haven't really gone on any vacation in a long time...

I would have to say having more information would be good not bad. I get that poor database design is often the issue but there's more than one way to skin a cat.

I love my rasberry pi I got here on thwack!!! Mines now running OSMC and hooked to my TV. I bought a power supply, a really fast Samsung microsd card, and added a great wifi adapter with an antenna on it. I don't get any skips or caching at all... it runs great! I leave it turned on all the time.

Having the correct tools for the job is a big plus for sure!

Having a thorough understanding of multiple technologies and then being able to apply to troubleshooting real difficult problems is one of my best skills and it's also one of the things that makes me enjoy my line of work. Sure it's really tough and rough sometimes. You can't always win... but the wins are really self…

Thanks Lindsey it was a good one.

Someone got the bean bag chair... I'm sure the shag wouldn't be as easy to take care of but it sure looks cool.

On our airgapped network we don't allow writing to USB devices or burning CD/DVD's. The trick is having ability to permit some one person to if you want to.

Dragon to take it all I think!

Is that your Dog? If it is sure has some bright blue eyes.

You don't disable smb you disable smbv1 in group policy if you have a big network: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2696547/how-to-enable-and-disable-smbv1,-smbv2,-and-smbv3-in-windows-vista,-win…

Geesh it does sound like fun and also like a lot of travel. I hope you get to keep your airline points etc. Early entry to the concert so you could get an autograph was pretty cool.

As a little kid in 300 baud modem days my handle or ------- name was "deadlock" ... I was 11 at the time and had and apple ][+ deadlock is a neat subject too! And App insight for SQL helps track them!

It sounds like Marek​ has it working and it just takes some configuration on the Cisco side (Big surprise).

I think it's a mess up in the logic on this one...

Thanks... not a big deal. We all wanted to help Rachel if we could!

I liked Leons take on directions... I often try to get a gage on whether people I'm interviewing are open to doing things they don't normally do or haven't done before because, from my experience, the job ends up being a lot more than the job posting description.

That falcon float is pretty different for sure.

This has been a LONG time coming. I wasn't very happy for years after you added the new NTM map product but left the old network atlas in place. I'm just hoping the maps will exploit all the data in the database already and NOT 100% depend on things like cdp and ndp. It's great when those protocols are running and they of…

Geesh what time was that at in Hawaii? Eric get's up really early!

rob.hock I concur! I've already emailed our entire userbase letting them know our days of red down nodes in NPM behind firewall are soon to be a thing of the past and copied your image showing where the new setting is!!! Thanks again Rob. :^}
