Nice group of topics sqlrockstar​ The article on street light cams is funny...... A camera is a camera to law enforcement... Be it ATM Camera, Ring doorbell, store cams from private sources or traffic and street light cams from public ones. The more ubiquitous these become the greater the adoption for scope/mission creep…

jbakervt​ I've seen SeeClickFix.... I love the concept and wish we could do it but it is a bit above what we can afford to do at this point. We have adopted a GIS system to monitor our roads and evaluate and analyze which streets need attention and what kind... and we are looking at ClearGOV to show people where their…

I'm impressed.

An inexpensive (not $1600 version) robot mower for my lawn... Even better... a robot snow blower....

After reading the email piece I had some thoughts.... 1. In a perfect world................................. 2. I can see walking in on a Monday finding something seriously wrong and saying... no, I didn't read any emails this weekend. sorry! 3. I'd love to leave this vacation out of office ... just once.. "Hi I will be on…

Buzzwords tend to get the attention of non-IT types.. (C-Level Management).... Usually, the discussion starts with "Have you looked at doing xyzabc123?" or "Where are we on adopting xyzabc123?" rschroeder​ is right when he says "I suspect a consensus might be formed if one were to adopt the concept: "We can solve all our…

Me too!!! He has a large family....

aka: Hardly Palatable Horrible Problems Hackers Playtoy Did I see matchbox written somewhere on the car is "small print"?

Fun times ahead!!! Happy Birthday and let's get this party started!!!! My favorite THWACK memory... the first poll I put up and got a very good response...

Well put Leon. Knowledge is currency and spreading that knowledge buys a lot.

thank you for all you do!!! (and being patient with us!!! 

Facebook protecting Mark Z.... $22.6 million TIMES xxxxx users = A whole lot of $$$$ Yup.. just protect the boss!

Nice job steveng‌

rschroeder​ and sqlrockstar​ I submit the following photo taken this weekend for the "bacon edition" ( Item found at Reny's Department Store Wells Maine... on Dec. 2, 2017)

I am sure I shared this a while ago, but it bears repeating. The EURO conversion which took place over the year end 1998-1999 (who planned this before Y2K?) required us to recalculate the Mutual Fund portfolios managed at the firm where I worked. The software vendor for the book of record system gave us a set of steps to…

Terrific article jgherbert​. I am a Powershell user ... (basic), but after reading this I might take a look at GO... Thanks for sharing!

My grandsons too!!! (8 and 7)

Enjoy.. Eat well, take pictures and have a local adult beverage...

addictions.... hmmm... Coffee - check! the need for toys (all kinds) - check! Multiple screens - Check! News Junkie - Triple check! My Distractions

Wow Rick those CDC drive and cards brought back some pleasant and not so pleasant memories of my early days.....

Remember the old adage .... "the buck stops here". You are responsible!

Thank you sir....

A119 - Yeah... and a really small issue about tides.... just saying!

Obviously the CEO was well coached in crisis management... By getting out in front... he probably helped things out to some reasonable extent. As for the wild guesses and (Should of, would of, could of) remarks by talking heads and "experts".... Jfrazier​ is spot on about Mr. Murphy..... It's always a case of when... not…

well said!

There was a time when Apple/Mac's were leaders in the virus world. Enter MS Windows and they occupied the hot seat.... and now we swing back the other way. Sad reality is the bad behavior is more profitable than good behavior. (leave the ethical discussions for another day!)

kong.yang​ Well done... Classic tale of "get it out the door"! I also read where email addresses may have been leaked during signup as well... Personally, I don't do games on my phone.... Just another all consuming game for the masses.... and a large dose of crack for the instant gratification crowd.

Great write-up! Great examples of things we all face everyday.....particularly the inevitable search by some to go around security because it "impedes" them from with doing their jobs or doing their job at a "speed" slower than perceived. Nice job!

Many years ago I worked for a service provider that did the galley work for two local Bell Telcos. When they broke up Ma Bell, the contract that was 80% of our work was given to another firm. All throughout the company we kept hearing of new busines was coming but nothing before the day of the contract termination. I had…
