hello everyone. beautiful weather over the weekend.
Q: if you drive at the speed of light and turn your headlights on, does it make any difference?
.. an old Steven Wright joke.

@travisdh1 ah, that looks better. What features does it offer? Their website is pretty scant on details that would make me interested. Including how the communications happens (can we host remotely) and what it does that non-Windows tools don't already do with more maturity (and lower cost.)
I honestly don't know. Someone had mentioned it here on Mangolassi a while back, and I figured I'd take a look at it the other day. I took a look, and dropped it like a hot potato,
Well that's good to know. It does have some promise, but the "feature" list makes it sound like it is competing with the RMM solutions (Tactical, in my case) rather than doing something more. It's architecture and tech and lack of documentation aren't encouraging points. Could be interesting, in theory, but looking at their site it felt like it was a solution in search of a problem. It doesn't solve the inherent issues of Microsoft's own solutions (that they are MS only and require MS licensing) nor does it add something on top to make it worthwhile above and beyond. Of maybe it does, their site has very few details.

What is everyone up to this morning? We have cloud cover here in Leon and it feels great.

Conversation with one of the corporate office employees this morning While getting coffee;
Me : on my phone looking at emails from the weekend "oh sorry, catching up on emails, i'll get out of the way.
Her: "you dont check your email over the weekend? "
me: "not since we moved to the clock in clock out system."shrugs " I shut off notifications for my work email.."
Her:"oh, i guess that makes sense.. well have a good day." -

that was the point i was trying to make to her during that conversation . if i was paid more and on salary, than I would be more keen to look.
Truth be told I check the work email once a day on the weekends just to be sure I didn't miss anything important that needs to be passed on to the Emergency On Call guy . -

Just had a good sized scorpion trying to get into our house. I killed it with a shoe.

Actually up doing some server work. But about to head to the bar.

Only if you can throw it. Don't want to risk anything it could climb up to get back to me

New job has me swamped. Going to get rid of Active Directory as one of the dc suffered a failure this week and executive management said "been meaning to do that for a while. You take the the project. What licenses do you need". No questions, not push back, just OK get it done. Good to work in a company where pretty much everyone is at least somewhat technical.

When the wife and I were living in Hallendale, I found one on the patio, one in the living room and one in the driveway (over several years). My claw hammer did the heavy lifting. I wasted more than one good set of hotdog tongs on them. Big and black, like right out of an episode of Columbo. Ghah!
