Just think of all of the great content that there will be at MangoCon 2017!! shameless plug
And remember to like and subscribe, too
My bootcamp week fell through because the training company wants me to take some prerequisites before I take the bootcamp. I say the training company is trying to sell more needless courses in order to make more money off of us. Therefore the bootcamp is off for the year. I have switched gears and am back to pushing going to MangoCon 2017 for 25% of the price of the boot camp. That includes the airfare and hotel at the normal rate (not the mangocon rate).

Any specific topics needed to sweeten the pot? Are you showing them some of the awesome training materials?

I'll talk to him for sure today and will hopefully let you know by this afternoon.

Spent all morning with a tech trying to recreate our door access system from scratch. The machine that it lived on before had a drive failure, no recoverable data (including all the backups and database, which only lived on that machine). Finally got it all running right, but everyone that walked out of the office had to go to the front door to get in since their access cards didn't work anymore. I'll be firing off a backup of this system later this afternoon so we don't have to go through this again.

Didn't that system give you trouble a while back, too? I seem to recall hearing about it.

The PC died a while back, today we had to finally re-create the whole shebang. Since the door locks kept working, nobody really noticed at first.

Hanging out with the family.

debating sushi, but that means I have to stay at work vs leaving early due to the Holiday. Makes no sense for me to have sushi with friends in Irving when I work in Farmers Branch to leave early to go home to LE then back to Irving.
@NerdyDad @scottalanmiller @NetworkNerd know the struggle is real.

If it debates back, it's not been dead long enough.

Works here. Maybe because of your geolocation?

Who knows. Seems foolish to make it look like your site failed, though.

It is Target. We know how they tend to be with technology.

But does that make it more likely that they accidentally made themselves look like they went down, or they actually did?

My end can't create an access denied message from their server. And I'm not the one that found it, I just tested it and posted about it.
