Like you, I have no training or experience with how the wonderful GUIs and codes are to be created efficiently and effectively and attractively, and I doff my cap to those developers and programmers who create the code behind the GUI that does the hard work for us all. My wife was a programmer for years, though, and I've…

Our former CIO used to call up the Network Analysts at 2 a.m. to demand his Internet speeds be increased. This was in 2003, and we'd given him his own T1 between his home and work, and he was angry that his first-person-sh00ter game's latency time to a gaming site in St. Louis was higher than that of other gamers, who were…

"Technical debt" is a phrase I hadn't heard, but the condition is very familiar. I work in a business that publishes to all employees "There's always time to do the job right." That focuses on preventing temporary kluges and POC's that become relied upon, grandfathered in, or forgotten--which can result in much larger…

If points continue, I maintain Picard is superior to Solo. (Wow, talk about pounding one's head on the wall! Maybe it'll feel better if I stop.)

Dell and VMware and cars . . . Hmmmm . . . That's going to be the perfect merger of Star Trek Transporter Tech with the travel and entertainment industry. Hop into VM car, be transported via the network into a new (real or virtual) location, get your work done, see your sites, buy your mementos & send them home…

Uh, er, um . . . Did you really mean to write that? "enabling the full potential of an application’s disruptive innovation"? I mean, sure, the application may BE very disruptive. But we typically don't see someone admit that during the innovation stage. Usually it's the users who point it out after a change is forced on…

Who knew a "thought grenade" was even a thing? Peter's Thinking Grenades - YouTube

In the military, or in business, government, or at home, a digital twin's information represents an interesting dilemma. On the one hand, it's a nice predictive tool, and one that says what's actually wrong and should to replaced or repaired or redesigned. On the other hand, this information is something a "competitor"…

What can you share (safely) about views from your ASA Insight (assuming you're using it)?

There are great reasons to not follow through with every possible type of interaction and connectivity, and employee conduct and efficiency take a back seat (IMHO) to the risks hyperconnectivity present.

Isn't it silly everyone assumes IoT devices are: * A good idea? * Secure? * Automatically / mandatorily allowed on corporate networks? * Something no one in Security / IT can say "no" to?

I spent a wonderful vacation driving a pickup truck with a slide-in camper through Alaska's Kenai Peninsula, and it's a perfect example of what your European friends experience when thinking of scales and scope of distance in the U.S. I had a hard time getting around the idea that the atlas (pre-Internet-trip) showing six…

This sounds like a great Feature Request. If you create it, I'll vote it up!

"Get OUT!" "No, YOU get out, you hoser!" "Take off!"

I didn't want to be unfair and show images of how clean the air is in North Dakota, or how pristine the landscape can be, and how soul-filling the quiet and sunsets are. Actually, it's quite the paradise, despite what stereotypes you might have gotten from Hollywood. From plenty of growing space and affordable land, to…

Nice new "Travel Log" icon, adatole​! Seeing that made me smile.

That's perfect. Nicely done! Frankly, anyone using Youtube as an authority for all things factual . . . . Well, some people might comment "That person's driveway doesn't make it all the way out to the road."

I'd grill it legs off because they'd cook faster than the body. No one wants charred legs and a body with a raw interior. All parts should be nicely tender, well-done, but still with juicy flavor.

I like that organizations and leaders and "thinkersof deep thoughts" are considering this topic. I'm disappointed they're only taking a narrow view that includes availability and profit. Yes, those are very important. But there are a few problems not sitting in the bright light of day, which ought to be spotlighted for…

Regarding training in general, a variation on its risks is the business mentality that internal experts can't provide a solution. That they're incompetent and under-educated, unaware of what's going on. That only an outsider can bring change and new ideas. I call it "The 75-Mile Expert Syndrome." The miles can vary by…

Surprised myself by being up to speed on all these topics for a change! War Games was an eye opener for a kid just a few years out of college when it was released. Better still was Short Circuit, when speaking of runaway robots. "Johnny Five is ALIVE!" "INNput! More INNNNput!" I agree with the folks who (seemingly)…

The plan remains: Just say "NO!" to blockchain.

It never ends. Once you start questioning, where does it end. Or from the ancient Greek: "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?" You've started suspecting your security monitor/reporting solution, and from there it may never end. But if we don't consider it, how can we cover the potential holes it may reveal? Ouch!

Sorry that turns out to be the case. I had high hopes for you!

Tyler, I've LOTS of ideas for this (regarding ASA's), now that I can see what's available. Especially being able to build/generate/schedule reports to provide easily used lists of ACL's that need analysis (and possibly correction/changes) due to being redundant, shadowed by higher ACL's, etc. This is a very cool value add…

Nicely defined. This isn't in my skill set, but I'm interested in knowing if some of the others in this forum can recognize the syntax necessary to make this happen, perhaps in a SQL or SWQL query/command, or perhaps in a custom Job? Tagging a few experts, who may either know, or know who knows (in hopes they'll forward…

Wild Hogs are Chased From a Corn Field - YouTube Who knew?

There are so many "relatively" significant things I learn in a day, a week, a month (a.k.a.: I was today years old). For example, today, this week, this month, and this year, a few of the things I learned include: * The Irish name Siobhan is pronounced "sheh-VAHN". It reminded me of when I learned Sean is pronounced…

You could take the original report above and capture the WAN ports graphs for every node, and use that for some nice graphics showing trends, and then tie it in with a canned report called "Average and Peak Traffic Rates - WAN Interfaces Last 7 Days" that can be adjusted with the Report Writer. How about looking into that…

Sweet trophy--congratulations!
