Nifty. Wonder how deep they are going and how much command line zealotry they will be pushing. Yeah yeah, everything is command driven, but for lots of us, we don't need to learn the subtle nuances of vi when pico will do the job just as well. Most of the CLI zealots demand you learn vi and vi only.

For good reason. I've seen knowing vi mean the difference between being the guy fixes the servers or the guy who fetches his coffee.

Ultimately it's a text editor. There is nothing inherently different between vi and pico or any of the hundreds of text editors out there. There isn't anything compelling to use it other than zealotry.

You don't see the same kind of craziness when it comes to Notepad and Wordpad in Windows. Wordpad is a much more feature rich and since Windows 7 more in line with Office with the ribbon and such. But you don't see Windows zealots screaming about how you are not really using Windows if you don't use Notepad and Notepad only.

Assuming MySQL is driving the DB?

Eh, doesn't matter for us. We have two custom created ticketing systems along with Remedy and one we finally phased out a year ago. We are supposed to be folding in all the others into our one single product, but that's gonna be way down the road.

Although it might be good to have it under my belt when it comes around to looking for jobs. Also doesn't hurt that one of our customer's uses it for their service.

Well, first and foremost, NEVER PRESENT 1433 TO THE WORLD! That's how you get ants. If SQL injection hacks don't impress you, how about corrupting data and completely disabling the DB.

Present 3389 to the world and use RDP to manage the box.

@scottalanmiller Ummmmmm, we have a comfort room here in the new office at the airport, I sure as hell hope people who are drinking too much coffee are not using it.

Considering that Office 365 uses the Exchange calendar engine if I'm not mistaken, yeah, it's gonna work just fine. And if you are not using Exchange, you can always use Sharepoint. Either way, bound to be a much better solution than IIS7 hack and crap.

Do we need to start making Ghostbuster's quotes? It's true, this man has no dick!

@ajstringham This is how Scott does it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bflYjF90t7c

Yes she did. And if you want the best, you gotta invite the best.

@ajstringham I'm watching my language, see them right there.

You can all blame Danielle for telling me about this place.

Let the games [moderated]. begin!
