Love me some VMAN... still wishing I can get Observability and get all the modules somehow... coming from multiple unlimited node NPM, SAM, NTA, VMAN, and NCM selling Observability has been difficult. Bill

Getting ready to upgrade right now to 2019.4... I hope it fixes some weird issues I've had with current old version I'm on. I've had issue where some tomcat log files sometimes fill up /var for no apparent reason and will blow up my entire datastore. I always have rolled back after this happened because LEM wouldn't boot…

Better watch out for the Praetorians!

Also I have virualization manager in production so I sent screen shot of mine not a demo.

Who doesn't love Animal House! RIP John B.

I do love the video production in the Fast and Furious movies!

You thought about reviewing the newer X-Men movie Dark Phoenix or eventually the New Mutants when it comes out Leon @"adatole" ? I liked your other movie summaries... you did a really good job breaking the story down. Bill

Can't mess with the Scooby-Doo and Scooby Snacks!

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.
