Another great mission! Thanks for all the time and effort that is put into these. And all the awesome prizes. Even though I'm not eligible, I don't know who else out there puts in this much effort.

Try to do my best whilst the lights are out!

Thanks for another great year. Bring on this one!

Wyld Stallyns!!! Or should I say KISS!!

I’ve just put in my order! Thanks!

Never heard of him.

I unfortunately voted for Jessie as he was better than the competition he faces but he should not have gotten up this far. Spinal Tap would have seen them drop out early.

It was a special sewing machine foot operated mouse

Yeah I disagree as well. Apple are just trying to protect what they've invented. Besides FBI have now found a way in with outsiders (read hackers) help. So it's all done and dusted. Was an interesting case though.

The south island in NZ is awesome. Bit colder than Brisbane but absolutely stunning.

I filled out the survey but didn't suggest any prizes as I thought I wasn't eligible anyways. But seems like you read my mind with this month's prize. I love my music. If ever I could only take one gadget with me, my ipod classic would win everytime. Can't live without music. Rock on!

I totally by accident came to work in the computer industry. I'd finished school in 87 and did a "travel course". Of course I couldn't get a job anymore as I didn't have the 3 year experience they all seemed to require. So then in early 1989, I applied for a computer sales person job. I had zero computer knowledge at this…

Done.

Glad you've put this up as a feature request. I posted about this back in 2012 but no one responded Network discovery feature request

I'm not sure if this is worth it. If the person who is making the changes doesn't write off the config, they will be out of sync anyways. Once a week, I get a report that compares the running to the startup config and any that don't match, get listed in the report. Basically means that those configs weren't written off.

I totally agree but unfortunately I (like others I assume judging by the lack of) totally hate doing documentation. Luckily we have architects that do a lot of documentation but I really should be doing some as well. It should be my new year's resolution.....

Yeah training is harder to get these days. Times are getting tougher. I've seen loads of staff made redundant. Sign of times unfortunately.

I agree. We've gone with Palo Alto's for the reasons you've described.

Great article. The biggest problem with backups is that most don't test them. So when they really need them, they don't work.

Thanks for sharing. Great post.

Congrats to the winners. I don't know any of you but you all sound awesome. It's always nice to be recognised by someone else

Simple and accurate describes Solarwinds to a T!

agreed!

That California Raisins ad was cool! But I've always loved The Muppets so this round goes to Dr Teeth.

Does anyone know if this still occurs in 11.5? It does still occur in 11.0

Not sure, I haven't owned the toolset for about 4 years now.

I'd never heard the envelope story, I like it! But none of it has applied to me. I was in my first job for about 6 years and I'm about to notch up 22 years in my current job. So I've not ever opened up any envelopes. I left my first job to go to my current one for increased wages. I've been blamed for things over the years…

Great series. Good outcome for the customer

Luckily I don't deal with users very often, we have a service desk for that! But I have been in that role in the past. Guess it's always better safe than sorry. My dad rings me quite often with all of his computer related questions. Luckily no other family member does this (other than wife and kids).

Me too.
