That's great. Its crazy, look at what we've got here: * People who care * Issues being solved * Transparency; communicating what's happening while setting expectations & rules while being stylish about it. Man. That other online community where things are read a lot should be taking notes from mrs.alterego‌ and the team…

OH man. +10 to this idea. I'm in this right now trying to map our architecture for the next 4-6 years.

Office hours? Sweet! I'm back in College or maybe not so sweet... "What Will You Solve Next?" This resonates with me. To me, I feel its good to constantly question the status quo; and actively be pursuing to perfect your situation whether that be in your relationships, personal life (which I often forget I have), and of…

Did not realize what I put in those entry fields was going to be quoted...might've worded that better haha.

Wow guys! This look really really cool. This evokes so many thoughts and questions I'm really looking forward to checking this out. Top 2 things that looks the coolest to me based on these 2 screenshots - Search up top & mostly everything in the second one - BUT - the "Displayed Metrics" resource - being able to quickly…

jtroyer‌ Great post! I find I'm often at odds with this concept. What "should" I be working on versus what "the industry" says I should be working on versus what do "I" actually want to be working on or becoming better at. Sometimes keeping the lights on is all some of us can do but building that additional "pillar" of…

One of my more memorable horror shows... Once upon a time there was a user named...let's call them Bobby. Bobby processed a lot of documents and approvals through a proprietary system and as you would expect; this system would time-stamp and tag any updates with Bobby's userID. Simple enough. One day I get a call from…

Great work TeamTHWACK. I THWACK therefore I am.

Bumpbumpbumpbump. This is truly needed. Alert management & Push Notifications.

I wouldn't be where I am; doing what I love - without THWACK; or the people & community that make it great!

Ok everyone. I tried to get zackm on the soapbox. I really did. But seriously - those conversations are important. How teams and organizations view, facilitate, and manage alerts through different tools and methods are super interesting.

I love this opinion. The aforementioned expectations that are set up when we either start trying to identify nebulous items or persons is a very tricky thing to do well. I often fall into this trap of attempting to identify internal or external customers and more specifically appropriately identifying the context the…

Well, all of this stemmed from the 2014 April Fools Joke right? When they inserted Pokémon into Google Maps at static locations but because of the exponential hit it was the concept was there and took years to evolve? Pokémon Go: The April Fools’ joke that became a global obsession - The Washington Post It would be really…

I am not a bracket nerd, cause...I don't get it. But some of these match ups were hilarious.

Great reads sqlrockstar​ - Thanks!

Meh. sqlrockstar​ 's quote is spot on "everything is broken." To me, its rarely a game of being the most secure - but a race to not be the last person running in front of the bear. Of course I would bet for most of us we now also need to focus on the raptors approaching from the sides; that we didn't even realize were…

Def worth the time to take - loved "The Mirror Driver"

Or the last person that quit from...whatever team.

Same. So nice to "generally" not worry about upgrading; and those weird hiccups, re-run config; sends everything back to normal.

Thanks Bronx this is great. I'm not totally sure where to run this bad boy as my Mac is my core machine (I mean I have several available but I want one to "carry around" ). Anyone have suggestions on which way works better than another? Options are: * BootCamp * Parallels (But I want to wait till 11 is released after…

I want to know which one I missed too! (It would be funny if we all missed the same one...)

This is such a great idea DanielleH ! First and foremost - my Mom listened to all of my tech banter. Even though she had no idea what a TCP was or why we REALLY needed to get rid of WinME - this is a trait she still carries today; but more importantly this trait of listening fostered a sense of always needing to better…

I have lots of fears. Some irrational; others more rational. I think my leading fear is "when" my Orion installation takes an unscheduled dirt nap - for whatever reason - because not only will "I" be flying blind, so will all of my datacenters, applications, and happy little systems. Having been through some meltdowns of…

This concept is so important to so many people and I unfortunately don't think they realize it. I fondly remember the halcyon days of my youth when my father worked for a business and went on trips. I thought he was the coolest (I still think this today.) He had a super cool briefcase, folding alarm clock he carried with…

Not a bad idea though I worry people might be too aggressive in dumping these of course - that would be on them I suppose. I was recently thinking about attempting building a monitor for log file size that we could then alert on rather than just subjective summary deletion. Perhaps Leon Adato has some input - he's a pretty…

Wooooo! Some of my favorite days of the year next to birthdays, Halloween and Christmas!

I'm hardcore self-motivated; I don't know how else to be. I try to keep up on general IT news and trends and generally plan to be waiting for the puck to arrive. This doesn't always work because Government is not always on the bleeding edge, or...on the edge. To quantify my organizational value, I've been trying to build…

This looks extremely promising. Selectable OU's? OMG. Great idea! Can't wait to see moar.

There should be a joke in here about how long we've been working from "OS X" - granted, the various cat-types and now locations we've been though - STILL.

Or are they... PREACH shidoshi1000​
