Epiphany? Probably. And likely one of the most potent forms of such experiences.
JobBOSS? Nah. SQL.. Pff. Networking. Yawn. Security. Puke. ACCPAC! Print Boss!
With all my time focused on the Production aspects of work, I naturally do my brain the favor of getting junked out on new software and processes, in their ENTIRETY. The forced exposure to Acc Pac and Print Boss have lent themselves to a new vantage point consisting of nearly every other software that life has to offer – thus far.
On Friday, when we unleash the new server which just so happens to be located in the most prime of prime locations, the SERVER ROOM, we’ll be able to add this baby to the domain and get the ol’ JB and AK-DITTA-PAK rollin like two sisters. Well I don’t think they mind. Even if they do. It’s only my imaginary personas that’ll make this complicated. The rest, well that’s the easy part. (isn’t it always?)
Let’s pull some data sets people. Let’s put a plum and a banana in a blender and start wondering why we didn’t do this .. forever ago. Lets start realizing some reporting power.. do i even grasp this?! Ahh.. neither do you so don’t worry about it.
OH SHIT! WE GOT A JB USERGROUP MEETING THIS WEEK!
Yah.. ok.. back to normal.

After much ado over a brand spanking new snow thrower burning through an auger belt – i thought wtf man – this is all fuckered up.
Out comes the 1980 TORO 421. Bang on – she fires up and clears both sides of 43rd.
Then the throttle rod starts going for a poop.
At the drop of hat Blaine rigged up a new ready rod and got me back to snow throwing.
How’s that for good homies.
5, 45, 45, bitches!

iPad is very fluid, however speedy typists will yawn at it’s ability to go no more than 25 words per minute which is no fun if you are used to burning through a traditional keyboard.
The iPad is to the iPhone what a size 13 boot is to a size 6 shoe

Two months ago I was told to move our server room. Catastrophic failure ensued and I looked like an idiot.
After rectifying the scenario and assuring that no idiot helmets remained on my person – prompt plans were made to ensure backup solutions to these rare occurrences were in effect.
Well – It’s been a good month and the old bitch has levelled herself out and things are back to smooth sailing.
The lesson?
Always keep a backup gigabit 48 port switch on hand, not a cheapo either. Make it a CISCO.
You’ll appreciate not slouching for the bandwidth!

After i jumped ship to explore the Apple of my eye, I realized I don’t have a formal use for PC in the home, unless its for work.
Now – with that in mind – and an ever evolving self guidance system we call balance has taken over and things are never better.
The introduction of a new iPhone4 a couple months ago has opened the world of jailbreaking and great apps, the end result a truly great experience.
Then, after all the good P2P networks started accumulating more bogus traffic i decided to jump on the iTunes bandwagon.
I’ll say that out of the 40,000 tracks of not so legally acquired tunes ive accumulated over the past 10 years, the iTunes music i actually paid for – is that which i appreciate most.
Talk about cutting the mustard.
Next acquisition should be an iPad within the next week, and an Apple TV box nearing the end of January.
What’s next?

Core i7 something.
Now’s a good time to pass along the 930 and look into an 970.. or a 980X..
If you’re only doing it for the 12mb cache then the 200 buck difference don’t matter.
If you’re my Pa and you overclock the living fuck out of it.. well.. then the unlocked 980X is the ticket.
Wait for Sandybridge?
If this sounds like jibberish – you’re in the wrong blog.

Life cycles. Sure is a relevant topic these days. With an unlimited IT budget imagine the possibilities…
Alas, we’re faced with recouping and recycling I/O’s for the sake of a return on capital investment.
Every time a PC is tossed away, a Geek loses a pen.
When is enough enough? When it dies!
Is the best solution to relieve an ailing server of its duty, prior to catastrophic failure?
What extent of the solution defines a minimum standard of operation to see the hardware retain its role for the best possible length of time, prior to catastrophic failure?
Life cycles.
Something to consider.

After thoroughly deploying Kaspersky and running numerous full scans I can attest the our network is 100% virus free. It did however spot a few of my keygens on my own laptop.
What’s a keygen?
Go google something.

Goldman Sachs aka Digital Sky has invested 500 million into Facebook, yet facebook eludes shareholder rules set forth by the SEC.
Wake up you noobs! This is how the corporate scuzzy’s take a peek into your personal details and begin endorsing deals based on your preferences. And we’re all worried about internet privacy? Too late!
Too late to stop the leak now.

What a solution. After acquiring 80 nodes of paid for security protection – I must say – i am truly impressed.
The ease starts by installing Admin Kit complete with MMC. From there it scans your entire network and determines topology based off netbios and dns.
The end result is the ability to deploy, monitor, remotely access and remotely update databases with a central repository, keeping a consistent flow to network security across a diverse number of devices.
To be seen is how off-site nodes can successfully be implemented into the schematic.
