Users are like kids, they say the darnedest things!

Dear Network, I know once upon a time you used to run so freely in the green fields. I am sorry for choking you down with firewalls, proxies, vulnerability scanners, and various other tools that poke and prod at you day and night. Trust me, this is for your own good, its a dangerous place out there! While i know that we…

These are actual tickets I have received. ~Request for mental clarity "Hello, I would like to have access to Pandora.com to allow higher productivity throughout the day as listening to music improves focus and metal clarity" ~The disgruntled passenger "I am stuck at Copenhagen airport trying to get back to Amsterdam. I…

Would it be possible to edit the original post and put who the winner is for that week? Easier than digging through comments trying to find out who the lucky person is!

Oh, also, picked up my shirt at the Columbus SWUG! Highly recommend going to a local SWUG meeting for anyone in the IT industry.

Sweet, they took my advice from page 5! Makes that a lot easier to find!

There are many issues with malware these days, and the layer approaches only lessen the impact. As the protection gets stronger so do the attacks. You can have malware scans and sandboxes going off at your firewalls and web proxies, then drop it back to your client and do scans and sandboxes but at the end of the day you…

They arent, but sometimes you need to be a rebel and take a quick picture while others arent looking. *evil laugh*

Its bad when the mods are getting moderated

Just cover your eyes and run in circles?

I make people watch Sales Guy vs Web Dude, even if they don't work in IT. The sad thing is that video is pretty accurate (outside of the Halo part).

tomiannelli‌ swiped my idea, so I had to scramble and take a new one. Well played sir, well played!

I just had to wait 8 minutes

Right? With that being said...

Good share, and arguments to be made in many aspects. The specialized engineers will never go away because your big companies need someone who is an expert. On the flip side your smaller companies that cannot afford an elaborate staff of experts will need the "Jacks" that know a wide array of skill sets and can transition…

Truth #3 is fantastic, and very true...

So where do the winners get announced?

Congrats to all that made it! Some good ones on here.

To be honest for years and years I worked in windowless bunkers and fortified buildings with no windows... So I certainly do still enjoy "the smell of the fresh baked bread" after dealing with portapotties for years...

Its the thought that counts right? 

meditating deeply.

On nice sunny days like today I slouch behind the monitors to hide myself from everything "nice" outside. It is nice for a short "mental break" when things get overwhelming. 

Valid point, SolarWinds also like to dominate the monitoring of the network. Fits right in with Vader and Diablo. 

I spy an owner of SWTOR collectors edition!

Sadly the guy who did have the messiest desk sat next to me and quit 2 weeks ago, so here is mine in its current "messy" state. One of these days I'll setup that fish tank...

Alright, I figured it out myself. Under alert manager you go to View -> Configure Alerts Browse to the alert that you would like to modify -> Edit Under the "Trigger Actions" tab you click on the "Edit Selection Actions" button and under the VBScript tab where the script sits to be executed you add the variables there like…

Personally I like my mug collection. Not sure if a SolarWinds mug would fit in.
