We've gotten rid of all but a couple 6500's they're old news... they can't even support advanced netflow. In our next refresh we've decided to go all Nexus 9k's now.

I call this rigged so they can keep the xbox in Texas!!! I just knew Patrick and Dez just wanted the XBOX to play with!

The Soggy Bottom Boys was actually pretty good from what I remember.

Hint today... since I wasn't sure if the answer was a word or a number I can tell you that the word works today: Well done for a Monday! And to top that off… “My password is ‘password.’ Pretty clever, huh?” - B.r.a.d.

The speculative execution bugs are a real downer... All this is doing is slowing down using our processors if you want to get around the problem. It's especially a problem for public cloud providers and overall just stinks.

It also makes it harder to get into NPM somehow!

We do all of these with the exception of basically banning iot devices and cellphones, and cameras. There's no BYOD.

Nice double MVP's!!! That's what I'm talking about!

LOL more is on fire in DC than just the METRO #thanksobama lololol!

Lol apparently those things that you turn on old analog synths are a banned word hehe.

It sure has been a long journey for me... I wouldn't have guessed I'd be doing what I'm doing back when I was in college for sure!

Well happy New Years eve everyone! I'm at work today... will stay for a little while at least. Pretty quiet today.

That was the first R movie I saw as a kid!

I actually got day 1 - 3 correct but day 4 I selected reports for report scheduler and it came back and said it would nice if report scheduler would report on the thwack store??? What the heck I didn't select thwack store and I can even see the box I checked that's correct... who knows??? Bill

We use Palo Alto's too here in the USA.

This was a different one this year that's for sure!

wow that thing looks kinda scary maybe but interesting... I see they have single wheel ones too o.O! Yeah be careful John omg!

That's a LOT of meat!

Also just noticed you were from Ohio! I grew up in Ohio. It was nice place to grow up. I live in Arizona now though and honestly I don't miss the winters, rain, or massive humidity. I'm adapted to the dry heat now!

Here here!

Also automation can totally run amok if you're not careful... sometimes is seems like a good idea to run the same thing on 100 devices but then... what and how to manage the ones that failed? It's that last part in this article "Next, monitor the automation process to make sure that every step executes as expected.…

Between Cisco ACI and VMware NSX... the NFV is full on now for us.

As far as statistics go... liars figure and figures lie. I agree about some of these groups, countries, etc. making up their own rules about privacy laws... it's just another way lawyers and judges make hassles for us all and work for themselves. I think most of us are really tired of it.

I did the same.

It's not that complicated actually... way easier than the question on Apr. 6th which I'm still reeling from.

I got the updated CCSP book a few months ago... I was also considering it. I've read that the book isn't necessarily the best guide for the test even.

It's a little chilly in the desert when the sun goes down... around 40 right now but today once the sun comes out it'll be 75 degrees without any precipitation.

While in college I worked at a lab that did custom black and white enlargements. We worked a lot with very very old negatives. I'd get some negatives that were the size of small book with almost no contrast on them at all. This meant using polycontrast filters to get the contrast to come back out... it was a lot of fun and…

Ironically it's been cold in the desert of Arizona all of sudden! It's totally backwards weather right now!!!

I stopped messing with facebook too. I should delete all the old data too...
