2019 is the year I go fully immersed into SIEM and log analytics. I finally got my funding. I have a list of bookmarks as long as my arm to help me plan, design, rollout, set KPI's, alerting/monitoring & reporting. Wish me luck

Welcome back! You've missed soooo much!!! And Yes! You were missed. Your Pinterest is oddly fascinating! :-)

Cable Management is a lost art. And when I come across a cable management expert it is a thing of beauty to watch him/her work. It's like watching power washing. Mesmerizing...

Welcome aboard! Here's hoping that you survive the rookie hazing. ;-)

Single Pane of Glass! Single Pane of Glass! Every app, appliance, service, etc. comes with a dashboard. I would need 50 monitors to watch them all. I am looking for every opp. to consolidate them.

No Bacon? Un-Acceptable! I specifically log onto Thwack everyday for one thing and one thing only... Bacon!

During the summer I spent a month at my family's beach house at the Delaware shore. My "office" was in the garage surrounded by cinderblock and exposed insulation in the ceiling. I would get flack on every video call. No one could see my view however. It was spectacular and so relaxing. It is my happy place. My home office…

Interesting article on being busy all the time. I have found that what I do is changing the focus of my busy-ness. Work, family, personal. Work, family, personal. And people ask me and my wife why we goto the beach every other weekend in the summer. Because when you sit on the sand you are compelled to do nothing. :-) It's…

I predict that on our current path with our political discourse, and additional eCommerce vulnerability revelations, our Federal government will make moves to over-correct network security standards.

Leon, it is like you are writing my biography. As I have stated in other posts I am on an island with my company's monitoring. I constantly fight an uphill battle to get attention, budge, and resources. I struggle with convincing leadership that it is the right thing to do... because how does one pitch the obvious? I am a…

I did notice by the end of the live feed that some of the bacon had disappeared. A man after my own heart. Interesting story about the Microsoft sports director. I wonder how much $$$ he was pulling down on that position? And that wasn't enough he had to embezzle that amount of $$$ that sloppily? Greed can be a sickness…

BUMP!

Oddly enough, I received in my inbox this morning from one of my BCP?DR periodicals, the following. We all chuckle and grunt at Amazon's fiasco last week but it is a telling reminder that cascading events usually lead to the catastrophic scenario. Preparation at all levels mitigates catastrophes: This week on March 11th,…

Was there an announcement for the new Thwack MVP's ahead of yesterday's Lab? I was buffering. :-(

A challenge I face with IoT, and I am sure that it is not uncommon, is how to proactively monitor and report on the hundred different types of interfaces across my enterprise. I want to be proactively notified when firmware, updates, etc. has been pushed for all of them. Still haven't found anything I like.

As a manager of almost 15 years I can tell you that I care deeply about a candidate's soft skills. No amount of over-compensation of technical skills can make up for poor, or lack of, soft skills. Don't fool yourself into ever believing that to be the case because you'll be doing yourself a great disservice. Employees with…

Is this a Gary Oldman / Friends reference? :-) Friends - HD - Richard Crosby - YouTube

I read an article that highlighted world population growth throughout history. It parallels human advancement pretty closely. The 20th century is where we see an explosion in human population, much like we have seen in an advancement in just about every facet of our lives despite it being the most violent and bloodiest…

With all this activity going on over in N. Korea the Business Continuity world is H-O-P-P-I-N-G right now. Companies are nervous and hunkering down with preparedness strategies. My friends are calling me all day asking for advice. Step #1: Open the checkbook.

An interesting perspective. I am in an organization that does not prioritize infrastructure support tools. Instead, we have a whole bunch of tools that have been implemented that run without any care and feeding. Then, when we need to go to it for assistance, it's not collecting data. Later, when we implement yet another…

adatole I've watched your video on FB and loved this blog post. What an opportunity to combine passions and appreciate your experiences. I am salivating over these food pics. Growing up my "2nd family" was a French Jewish mother who was always cooking. Her kids were my age and they lived on the next street over. I was…

I've run across both whiz kids and incompetents who had, and hadn't college degrees in my years in IT. I have a degree so I am ever so slightly biased. . That being said, Yes! the passion to keep learning is absolutely essential. So regardless of whether or not IT people have degrees or not there has to be that passion to…

I wholeheartedly agree and I rarely complain when I get answers wrong. However, Question #1 is misleading. That does take a little bit of fun out of it.

I just answered Friday's question right now and I did not receive my 150 pts...

"What do you do when your employer says no more training?" Laugh at their short-sightedness and take the initiative. That's what you do! Take Solarwinds for example. You could spend six months consuming all of their free training. And that is just the videos. You could spend a lifetime on Thwack! Microsoft Premier Support…

Data is soapy. It continues to grow and it is slippery. (Also, water can wipe it out!) In my world our data "soap" keeps bubbling and bubbling and bubbling. It's out of control. I really enjoyed the session.
