This is something I can really get excited about.

While tis mission is not as "fun" as some of the other missions in the past, it is very informative. The mission is giving me a better understanding of all the legal hoops we, as IT professionals, have to jump through. Good Job!

This is great news! I know you will be awesome at it!

It seems like that has been the case for the whole mission.

I started out as electronics technician. I learned machine code and started writing little programs to help troubleshoot the circuits. When the electronics industry went over seas, I transitioned to IT. I still cannot believe I get paid to play with this stuff.

I went to the Houston event. I highly recommend it. I had access to the program managers and was able to talk to them about some of the things that SolarWinds are missing such as an icon to differentiate muted nodes. Also, if you are invited to the dinner the night before the event, GO! It is well worth your time.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Thank you for all the hard work!

Same for me no points added!

Time to geek out with a Raspberry PI 5!

Actually the ideal solution would be for the help desk to have suitably trained personnel to triage the issue using SW and appstack before putting the ticket in a particular queue. I can't count the times that an "app issue" ended up being something else entirely. 

I think question 1 is still not working properly. I selected exactly what was shown in the hint and got it wrong. I'd tell you what I selected but I do not want to give the answer away.

We use a recycler to come in and shred the old equipment. The shredded equipment is then recycled and reclaimed as metal plastic etc. It's interesting that while the servers footprint have gotten smaller, more efficient and become virtualized, our computing needs are growing at an incredible rate. The amount of cooling and…

Done.

From an AI standpoint I would want the ability to see the logic as to how AI came up with a solution. As AI adoption is becoming more commonplace, I've been hearing of instances where AI failed or did something unexpected. having that information makes it easier to explain to upper management why something was done than…

Once again I participated in the poll but this month's mission does not register it.

Done!

Glad to see I was not the only one having issues yesterday with Q2.

That sums up not just databases but servers, networks, storage and applications as well. people don't care (for the most part) where it is they just want the data in a meaningful form.

Thank you I'll ping them.

I also took the survey and didn't get to add my Thwack account. I did however get an Amazon gift card.

For me it has also been AWS. I've taken 3 classes and am reviewing documentation/studying for my AWS architect certification. It's good to know I can still have one too to monitor the environment using SolarWinds and interfacing to CloudWatch.

Well, something is definitely missing here. It's a bit hard to answer non-existent questions.

Looks like the poll is not working this week either.

Tomorrows big mystery is, will the poll work? The suspense is unbearable!

Not exactly IT related, when I was in college, I worked for a cash register company in South Florida. We fixed and sold both electronic and mechanical cash registers. I was the only one working on a Saturday and had plans to drive to the Sanibel Island on the west coast after work. I received a call early from a grocery…

I answered 10 across and it marked me as wrong.

Done.
