@dominica just dropped a knife and cut her thumb really badly. Hoping that she doesn't need stitches.
-
Finally settling in to my first coffee of the day, now that the wife is all bandaged up.

Reading RHCSA book before teaching today’s saxophone lesson.

@scottalanmiller How’s Dominica’s thumb?
-
Lesson = complete. Time to see if I can catch the UGA vs. Auburn game.

Painful but doing okay. We have it tightly wrapped in a large bandage so that it can't move, it's loaded with Neosporin, and she is eating ice cream. It's a flesh would, the knife hit no tendons and did not make it to the bone. So she should be okay. Doesn't look like stitches will be necessary, but we won't know for several hours.
-
@scottalanmiller Hope that she feels better soon.

What kind of job are you going for with all the Linux stuff, just curious?

Even SMB jobs could benefit from Linux skills.

System administrator, but that’s a long way off.

Catching up on emails again. Thanks ML.

Sounds like you have the drive to get there.

I’ve flirted with the thought of developmenr; however, I cannot seem to take the plunge.

That's a pretty huge change. That's a full career change, as opposed to a role change.

Not as much as leaving teaching :P. It’s the problem of being interested in everything — something I’ve dealt with for the last 35 years. However, I know I don’t have the drive to become good in the dev world.

I started when I was 8, but have mostly drifted in to sysadmin or telecom/internet. I spent a lot of time in Java, then even more in Ruby, and now that I am working on things again I am having to really get in to Node.js, so at least with sysadmin stuff the knowledge and experience is cumulative as your career grows.
You could almost argue that Windows Server knowledge is a 50% toss out everytime a major version is released where Linux is steady. With your teaching experience you could probably land a nice school admin position. I saw a school librarian convert in the matter of 2 years to district admin (small school district). But she actually become a much better admin than the lazy person they fired who had a lifetime of experience.

Maybe I'm just bitter from UGA's meltdown, but it seems like the vultures have landed on this thread.

Guy hasn't had a chance to even tell us requirements, and [insert vendor here] already has the best possible solution for the requirements that haven't been named. -

The only exception is Kooler from StarWimd he seems to be the only Vendor who actually knows things and not just trying to blindly sell software .
