Music educator who has completed his transition into IT. I want to know all t3h thingz. Alas, one lifetime isn't long enough to learn everything, so I'll settle for what can be shoved into my brain during this life time.
I plan on mainly posting content on Saturdays or Sundays, but for the opening week, I made a few things.
Click over to the channel and check it out, should the below interest you.
I've never had much use for Cortana, other than practicing my disable-and-remove-useless-programs skill.
I finally got around to getting a little WordPress site going in my lab, and I've decided to make it the new home of www.eddiejennings.net. Enjoy!
Over time I'll try to find good ways of making some content from previous iterations of my blog (and podcast) available.
Sometimes for malware, you have to nuke and start over. :(
It cannot be stated enough how important community is. Since joining ML in 2016, all of you have effectively been my IT mentors. :D
Hard drive from xbyte arrived a day early. :D

What boils my blood more than anything:

@hobbit666 never do anything permanent like this
Its not permanent just snip the cable :D lol
Just snipping the cable seems easy until you make a mistake and slice the cable. When I have to do cable management, I'm 100% on the velcro strip train. Nylon cable ties have always ended up being a pain for me.
Watching a few Red Hat summit sessions as I have time during the day.
@pete-s said in Local SMTP relay?:
Instead of having a bunch of VMs connect directly to an external SMTP server to send emails, I'd like to set up a local SMTP relay. So VMs will all connect to the relay and then the relay will connect to the external SMTP server.
What software should I be looking at? Postfix? It will run on linux of course.
+1 for Postfix
RHCE exam = scheduled. August continues to be my certification month. :)
I agree for “just need to see” consider Jitsi. For one-off requiring a bit of control consider Zoho Assist.

Focus on growth and improvement, not on perfection.
That's the reason why I'm at the job I'm at now -- there was a potential opportunity to be touching Linux systems. Unfortunately, I was put on the Windows administration team. However, it granted me a non-trivial pay increase and work-from-home for the time being, which makes it easier to keep looking for the Linux admin opportunity elsewhere.

Just saw a job posting for Arby's (the local franchisee's company.. there are many franchises ) looking for IT Support..
Funny thing about that is my Sister Branch in Davenport IA supports all Arby's no matter the franchise. . . and I'm already certified to work on the POS system they use at all locations (regardless of Franchise).
I'm debating on sending them my resume.

Password update day. The pain of retraining muscle memory is real.
Office 365? That's an annoying day because I'm logged into it in so many places, and Microsoft hasn't figured out how to let you login once per device yet.
O365 is one piece. Have some other AD accounts that have to have periodic password changes.
