I am still trying to get 3 more people to follow me so I can earn my Influencer badge before EOY. I am not proud, I will beg for followers!!! 3 more to go!!!

I hear that my beloved Redskins of Washington will be playing in London of 30 October against the Bengals of Cincinnati. I am contemplating a trip over.

Nice socks. You look every bit the rugby player.

I am envious of those who are able to have the time to pursue individual passions and hobbies. I have a nice list of hobbies and passions that I want to pursue. I have resigned myself to the fact that it isn't going to happen anytime soon. BTW @"KMSigma.SWI" Your workshop looks SWEET! So much trouble to be made in there...

Wow! A fellow SAP/Thwackster. I didn't think there were too many of us. Tell me, are you involved at all with SAP administration?

Extremely helpful template to work from. Thanks for the screenshot. Others should borrow from this as well... Good stuff.

These appear to be the most recent, or current, terms of the IT Buzzword Bingo. As rschroeder​ so succulently demonstrated with the Business Triangle. The "wants" and "needs" of IT Leadership, or the business, usually come in 3's. And with those 3's comes the pie-in-the-sky notion that it is possible to attain all 3 at…

It's brand new week. Let's bump it!

My wife and I had the unpleasant experience of living in a hospital for close to 6 months in early 2007. During that time we became quite close with the doctors, nurses, and staff. They were all using a wireless voice-paging technology around their necks that was wireless. They all loved it over the antiquated overhead…

So my company likes to buy the Lamborghini hardware for our SAP environment. And they think by default that gets them lightning fast performance. Each year I insist on our Microsoft/SAP performance audit. Earlier this year we upgraded to IBM A9000 SAN. This thing is a BEAST. Everyone was excited to have the audit performed…

Sill question because I am all new age parenting and stuff! But do we get participation badges even if we don't win? :-) The reason I ask is that we get badges for each monthly mission we participate in. I like to show off my virtual "sash o' badges" and I'd hate to have a gap for August 2016.

Perhaps in the future the announcements can come with descriptions? The live feeds aren't recorded for replay (at least I can't find them) so I don't remember what some of these are for. Also, just for giggles, I'd be curious who else qualified for some of these awards. Like those who also had perfect scores on the monthly…

Also, Define acceptable levels. Document your landscape and processes for troubleshooting purposes. Have a UX monitor in place. Know your peak and low times.

No rschroeder​ , you're not. I've read this article 25 times in my 25 years of IT. Each year the technology changes. Each year we have to be flexible or we'll be left behind. Each year... blah! blah! blah! IT = Change! Everything changes, all of the time. This time is no better or worse than any other time before.

I have submitted multiple applications for me to host a Baltimore SWUG. I am awaiting a response.

Yep.... got this dumb question wrong.

TRASH-80??? I miss mine so! Did you have the cassette deck to load games? Did you ever play the game Volcano? It is still one of my all-time favorite games EVER! I found an emulator for it on the 'Net a few years ago but now its gone. Wow! Thanks for the walk down memory lane!!!

I read an article somewhere (was it on here? I read far too many articles) that the UK had generated so much power via wind for a few days that energy bills were in the negative. How odd is that? As for me and my fourth, I continued to upheld the family tradition of watching fireworks at Bethany Beach, DE. This year with…

I've been preaching for a while now the necessity for standards and oversight on IoT. I am glad someone finally listened. ;-) I have sworn off home appliances that are IoT-ready until security improves. Call me old-fashioned, or I have watched too many Black Mirror episodes, but this full-on blind immersion kinda scares…

Great article. I have been spending more time recently organizing my logging. This helps.

An often overlooked data breach scenario is those "powerusers" who are apt to store Excel files with that sensitive information on their laptop instead of a protected network share (Because.... you know, the network is "...too slow) and then have said laptop stolen at the airport. All of the policies in the world can't…

The 80-20 Rule, aka the Pareto Principle. And this computer disease that you reference... I submit "smart" phones as exhibit A. They (over)solved a problem that never existed and now look what we got.

Great notes! Ironically enough some are borderline common sense, yet they are often overlooked. Some others I will add, especially for these larger conferences that cover a large terrain and go on for longer periods of time in a day... 1. Wear comfortable, yet presentable clothes. You'll be standing far longer than you…

Tough match-up.

Dewey Cox deserved a better seeding. Walk Hard is an excellent movie.

Are there plans to adding templates to LEM built around the SDN and Hybrid methodology? And that is consistent with NCM auditing capabilities? That would be real exciting to me.

Maryland has its District 6, the "Praying Mantis" district. One of the few gerrymandered districts in favor of the Democrats, John Sarbanes representing. It's geography is ridiculous and makes no sense. I've looked at proposals for new districting for the Old Line state and they are all crazy. But that is because of the…

Yea... I love space and exploration and all that. But I don't get this latest endeavor with his car in space. I guess if you can you can and you do. But knowing Elon this is all part of his master strategy...

Monday Morning Bump! It's better than coffee!

Maria... you are a trooper!
