Great songs listed in Question 16! Brilliant.

She's great in Sons of Anarchy too

Completed the bonus questions. Thanks for running the quiz.

I saw a shirt the other day that had a slogan "When tech was cool". Below was a pic of a cassette tape, VHS tape and 5.25 floppy disk. I started with selling XT's, 20mb hard drives and monochrome monitors and Dos 3.3. I was super excited when the CD came out. Records were a pain the backside trying to record them onto a…

We are Wyld Stallyns!!

Well done! All the best for the next adventure.

Cisco WAAS was clunky and never as good as what Riverbed could do in regards to compression.

The answer is 13 letters. Took me about 30 seconds to find it.

Yeah everything is about cost containment these days. I personally haven't started using the google apps much but they have some cool features like multiple people can edit a document at the same time, you can do voice to text as well (dictate a document), use live spreadsheet pages on a web page dashboard. Maybe you can…

Some things I like to see are 1) if you're on the same level as another person, don't email them, go talk to them 2) setting up a tech bar in different areas (on different days) of the business so people can just walkup and talk to someone about their issues.

It sounds like eventually we could all be calling any type of data collecting, telemetry.

This is my home away from home.

Bit of an issue with today's question. The link to the survey is broken..

2 wrongs for the month. I think that's my worst mission ever! It's a good thing that I start with a clean slate in the new year.

And security holes these days are more easily spread. I remember in the old days you had to use a floppy disk out of an affected…

Your list is spot on. Without that, you can't really be "on top" of your network.

No but I've used firewalls in the past plus I did some research.

My condolences to everyone that knew him. Never nice to loose a loved one. RIP LG.

Great to get back into a new mission!

I'm too early for the poll

Me too but with only 11 votes in over a year, I'm guessing others haven't experienced the pain of when you accidentally delete a folder with loads of subfolders.

There were two answers that wer correct according to the hint but only one answer was permitted. I believe people guessed at it but I don't work that way. Very…

Wow what a list. Unfortunately I can't ever see me reading any of them. Outside of work I prefer to read music artist's autobiographies. And even then I rarely have time to read.

My work actually runs a competition where you make suggestions for things to automate. I've always tried to automate things, makes things much easier. Especially if you have to get someone else to do it.

I think in both availability and reachability. Availability monitoring is very easy to set up. Reachability comes with trial and error. Over the years I've been finetuning all of our alerts where I'm now at a point where I'm happy that I'll be notified about all sort of reachability issues. I also do proactive alerting to…

Next time I'm in a hipster cafe, I'm so ordering a hyperconverged sandwich. N.B. I never attend hipster cafe's

I agree with this. I used to use Ciscoworks and it was cumbersome. Nothing was easy with it. NPM & NCM are very easy to setup and use. That's all I use these days. It does everything I need it to.

I'm an Australian too and I hear the word coldie when people are talking about beers. "Grab a few coldie's maaate!" Things in here go off topic quickly though I must say and as this forum not keeping things logically layered once it goes over 1 page, there's a lot of off topic stuff to shift through.

The organisation where I work is actually very good in regards to data privacy. Every 6 months or so we have to privacy training.

Cool, we have things like Nutri Grain and Milo. But none have captains on them
