I may have to get on the SS train. I just wish dev was faster, butvim do understand it's a small team.
It was moving really quickly, but then had to take a break for other things. But Quixotic has brought on three new team members in the last week. So lots of hope that QX stuff will be speeding up soon once they are up to speed.
@quixoticgerber was working with @QuixoticJeremy and @BigLittle last night to get to know what QX is working towards.
Oh nice that's good news.
Yeah, QX is trying hard to get several projects going. One is releasing this weekend (nothing of interest around here) and hopefully will be out of the queue and out of the way in the next week or two once the initial deployment gets settled down.

Five new SAMIT videos are uploading right now.

@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.

@scottalanmiller How’s Dominica’s thumb?
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.
