What Are You Doing Right Now
-
Cold, damp morning around here. Had a bit of rain. Was going to try to get the car jumped today but don't want to take the kids out to see ruins on a day like this. So sitting tight until tomorrow.

Just learned about this thread on Reddit about getting from zero to Linux Admin with a home lab. Pretty good resource:

That's one reason why I ran KVM for a while. You don't get any hand holding.
That's a ton of VMs for someone who's "just good with computers.". I don't think I have enough to run that at home
-
That is definitely a good sized environment.

I've missed everyone while being busy with work, holidays, you name it. What have I missed?
-
Down to about 350 PMs left to sort through. Man that is time consuming. But that's over a thousand knocked out, already.
Surprised how many people have nuked accounts that I had conversations with (e.g. were not bots or 1PWers) have deleted their accounts, both end users and vendors.

Something is up. I haven't figured out what it is exactly yet I don't think.
The thing I think that started pushing people away was the Spiceworks people posting for companies. It just doesn't work in the community they've built. I have a feeling it's more than just that tho.

Honestly it could be nothing more than fatigue. The community is old now, nearly a decade. Much of the "shiny new" has worn off and that excitement of having a social community for IT isn't as unique or exciting like it used to be. Apparently, although I've never used it, even Facebook and LinkedIn are chipping away at their traditional market.

@scottalanmiller I'd say that's actually what Google+ is. Linkedin and Facebook may be what every talks about, but more tech happens on G+, at least from the bits and piece I observe.
-
I just can't get into LinkedIn - the whole concept is just foreign to me. I guess in a way it seems like a bending of SpiceWorks community and a job hunting site. meh!

Well, Google(Alphabet?) seems to be ignoring it currently. I'd be upset if they killed it, even if I'm one of the few that would be.

I never use it, the platform is quite difficult to use.

Probably isn't a good metric, but Google+ has 415 million users, 3rd quarter for 2015 Twitter has 307 million.

Anyone with a Gmail account has a Google+ account though, Twitter doesn't have that kind of integration.
-
Yeah, I am sure that they count me in that number even though I don't use it.

No but no one pays people to follow them on Google+ either. I bet the fake twitter accounts drastically brings the number down.

Isn't that, and Hangouts, where tons of the SW traffic has gone? They get as many comments made in their private Google chat rooms as they do on the site itself. Their offsite channels are extremely active, which hurts them a ton as things don't integrate well. It leads to "inside" information being on the "outside".

2nd interview with Pitt this week. It's going to be a busy week.

Conference call in 20 minutes to design a new web service for a client.
