I had a waist high snow drift on my sidewalk between my house and garage this morning that I had to wade through. And that was after Winter Storm Dan murdered my snow blower leaving it for dead in a snowbank, having to resort to shoveling last night. My pants were completely soaked up to the knees coming into work. They…

We are going through this right now with the Microsoft Data-center Licensing. They just changed their model from licensing physical processors to processor cores. Our costs are going to go through the new roof we don't even have built yet! You are right on the EULA stuff. No one has time to read all of that, let alone…

For the first class I thought it went very well. Looking forward to the next to levels of it!

I work in a hospital and the training situation here is bi-polar at best. Clinical staff get training thrown at them by the truckload, both on site and travel based. Meanwhile non-clinical support staff are constantly refused training on existing systems and new systems being brought in. It's disheartening really. They do…

I can see both sides of the argument here. I can see colleges using this to take advantage of people even more then they do now. But I think this could have good results too, it puts some pressure on the college to make sure they people they are educating can actually get jobs once they graduate. I have a total of 3…

My biggest thing with DR is documentation. I apply my documentation methods to any documentation I create, and I strive everyone else to do the same, and I feel this especially applies to Disaster Recovery. DR may literally involve a disaster, and your head person who knows the processes and procedures inside and out may…

If only our elected officials cared about what the people who voted them into office cared about this country would be a much better place then it is right now. Once they get into office their only loyalty is to the money and the people behind the money that will keep them in office. This is a great example of that. A vast…

Sadly the budget stick will rule healthcare cyber-security for a long time into the future. Pretty much the only reason we have any of the cyber-security tools that we do have is to check off the compliance box checklists. We are not utilizing them for their true purpose or to their full extent. The administration does not…

We were in a meeting while it was going on, discussing if we should upgrade to exchange 2016, office 365, or hybrid. We all laughed when we got back to our desks. On Prem +1, Cloud -1.

My cable bill for just internet runs in the $70 range right now. Well its actually like $50, but then taxes, fees, and a $10 modem rental and boom. My connection is 50 down 5 up. I dropped tv over a year ago, and man that was a hard fight with the cable company. They fought me tooth and nail on it like I was literally…

We are actually going through this right now with building our new hospital that we move into in August. We are going with the 2 provider route because neither one is capable or willing to provide the single provider diversity we need. We are going to be using these connections as a fail-over pair and not a load balanced…

IMO a dashboard should be quick and simple. It should not really show what, only if. Expanding on that, it should show if there is a problem, not what the problem is. We use PRTG for all of our network and server monitoring right now, and I think its dashboard is the best I have seen when it comes to this. You have a…

For something like that, do your people know about it? If it is something they are not aware of, then I can understand why they would not be looking for it. If they do know about it and do not take advantage of it, but want something else, I would ask them why.

I fear seeing a 2 some day.

The Freedom class LCS ships are being built literally 2 miles away from me. My dad worked on the first couple of them before he retired. It was pretty fun watching them put the first one through is paces in the bay of Green Bay. Also they make a pretty big splash in the water when they get launched! Ships built by…

Oh I do the same thing. If I can't look at the code and understand what it is doing, then I won't use it. Most of the time I can figure it out, but sometimes I am left wondering if the script does what it is advertised to do, or turns the sun off. I know enough to be dangerous with it, but not be good with it lol.

A small business with 3 employees that deal with home AV equipment where I live is like this. They run their entire purchasing system out of a program that runs in DOS. I last resurrected this system 5 years ago when the hard drive failed, and I suggested to the owner that he move to something newer, he said it would be to…

We use the same one here. I am using it constantly.

This right here says a lot. People want and expect the best, but do not want to put the money out to achieve it. There is nothing wrong with being fiscally responsible, but being unrealistic causes more damage then it helps.

I loved this episode, mainly because of the Warp Core breach smiley cloud!

Woot went 20/20 this month. First time in a few months for me. Bring on the auditors! And that sweet monitor!

Musk actually made a CGI comment after the launch with the video stream. He said "you can tell it's not fake because of how bad it looks, we have much better CGI now days." I watched the launch live and it was pretty exciting. Especially the part where the side boosters landed within seconds of each other almost side by…

Those are the ones that need a little extra guidance and direction. Usually because they are bored with the content being given to them, usually because it is to easy. I used to catch kids doing some interesting things to computers and stuff when I worked for a school district. Some of them were pretty smart, others were…

I am curious to see what kinds of effects this will result in with service based industries such as healthcare. For instance if someone comes into your ER and they are an EU citizen that was visiting your country. Do you now have to comply with all those standards of the GDPR you may not even know of? I would be really…

Sadly we do not have anything fancy or special in place to really lock it down other then what is already provided within the system itself. Unfortunately our management tends to fall on the side of convenience and get it done now over that of security. We should be locking it down more, but it has not been made a priority…

I have been waiting for this!!!!

I know that the database makes heavy use of compression to make it very space efficient. My current alert database is 389.27 GB and has 7.8 Billion alerts stored in it. I average between 4 Million and 5 Million alerts a day and the system has no issues keeping up with that part of it. I can't help but wonder if the…

What is this wire attached to my chair for? Don't worry about it, it's just for the powered lumbar support.

That is pretty much the conclusion I have come to as well that using FIM and Rules won't be able to accomplish this. Unfortunately the machines are medical devices and pretty much everything except the server name/address is hard coded into the device and not able to be changed at all. So adding a switch to the transfers…
